For independent random variablesXandY,if the conditional distribution ofXgivenX+Ysatisfies certain conditions, then the joint distribution ofXandYis a member of a certain one-parameter exponential family. Extensions fornindependent random variables are given. A characterization for independent random variables involving order statistics is also given.

Sufficient conditions are given under which the absolute continuity of the joint distribution of conditionally independent random variables can be violated. It is shown that in the case of a dimension n>1 this occurs for a sufficiently large number of discontinuity points of one-dimensional conditional distributions.

For independent random variables X and Y, if the conditional distribution of X given X + Y satisfies certain conditions, then the joint distribution of X and Y is a member of a certain one-parameter exponential family. Extensions for n independent random variables are given. A characterization for independent random variables involving order statistics is also given.

AbstractWe propose a new stochastic model describing the joint distribution of (X,N), where N is a counting variable while X is the sum of N independent gamma random variables. We present the main properties of this general model, which include marginal and conditional distributions, integral transforms, moments and parameter estimation. We also discuss in more detail a special case where N has a heavy tailed discrete Pareto distribution. An example from finance illustrates the modeling potential of this new mixed bivariate distribution.

Let {Xn} (n = 1, 2 , …) be a stochastic process. The random variables comprising it or the process itself will be said to be interchangeable if, for any choice of distinct positive integers i 1, i 2, H 3 … , ik, the joint distribution of depends merely on k and is independent of the integers i 1, i 2, … , i k. It was shown by De Finetti (3) that the probability measure for any interchangeable process is a mixture of probability measures of processes each consisting of independent and identically distributed random variables.

We find the joint distribution of the lengths of the shortest paths from a specified node to all other nodes in a network in which the edge lengths are assumed to be independent heterogeneous exponential random variables. We also give an efficient way to simulate these lengths that requires only one generated exponential per node, as well as efficient procedures to use the simulated data to estimate quantities of the joint distribution.

AbstractIn this paper, we consolidate into one two separate problems - dependent random variables with independent subsets and construction of a joint distribution with given marginals. Let N = {1,2,3,...} and X = {Xn; n ∊ N} be a sequence of random variables with nondegenerate one-dimensional marginal distributions {Fn; n ∊ N}. An example is constructed to show that there exists a sequence of random variables Y = {Yn; n ∊ N} such that the components of a subset of Y are independent if and only if its size is ≦ k, where k ≧ 2 is a prefixed integer. Furthermore, the one-dimensional marginal distributions of Y are those of X.

LetXn1≦Xn2≦ ··· ≦Xnndenote the order statistics from a sample ofnindependent, identically distributed random variables, and suppose that the variablesXnn, Xn,n–1, ···, when suitably normalized, have a non-trivial limiting joint distributionξ1,ξ2, ···, asn → ∞. It is well known that the limiting distribution must be one of just three types. We provide a canonical representation of the stochastic process {ξn,n≧ 1} in terms of exponential variables, and use this representation to obtain limit theorems forξnasn →∞.
