AbstractLet a1, a2,… be a sequence of mutually independent, normally distributed, random variables with mathematical expectation zero and variance unity; let b1, b2,… be a set of positive constants. In this work, we obtain the average number of zeros in the interval (0, 2π) of trigonometric polynomials of the formfor large n. The case when bk = kσ (σ > − 3/2;) is studied in detail. Here the required average is (2σ + 1/2σ + 3)½.2n + o(n) for σ ≥ − ½ and of order n3/2; + σ in the remaining cases.

If aj(j=1,2,…,n) are independent, normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1, if p is one half of any odd positive integer except one, and if vnp is the mean number of zeros on (0,2π) of the trigonometric polynomial a1cosx+2pa2cos2x+…+npancosnx, then vnp=μp{(2n+1)+D1p+(2n+1)−1D2p+(2n+1)−2D3p}+O{(2n+1)−3}, in which μp={(2p+1)/(2p+3)}½, and D1p, D2p and D3p are explicitly stated constants.

Abstract: While there do exist several statistical tests for detecting zero modification in count data regression models, these rely on asymptotical results and do not transparently distinguish between zero inflation and zero deflation. In this manuscript, a novel non-asymptotic test is introduced which makes direct use of the fact that the distribution of the number of zeros under the null hypothesis of no zero modification can be described by a Poisson-binomial distribution. The computation of critical values from this distribution requires estimation of the mean parameter under the null hypothesis, for which a hybrid estimator involving a zero-truncated mean estimator is proposed. Power and nominal level attainment rates of the new test are studied, which turn out to be very competitive to those of the likelihood ratio test. Illustrative data examples are provided.

If a1,a2,…,an are independent, normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1, and if vn is the mean number of zeros on the interval (0,2π) of the trigonometric polynomial a1cosx+2½a2cos2x+…+n½ancosnx, then vn=2−½{(2n+1)+D1+(2n+1)−1D2+(2n+1)−2D3}+O{(2n+1)−3}, in which D1=−0.378124, D2=−12, D3=0.5523. After tabulation of 5D values of vn when n=1(1)40, we find that the approximate formula for vn, obtained from the above result when the error term is neglected, produces 5D values that are in error by at most 10−5 when n≥8, and by only about 0.1% when n=2.

For f a nonzero Bohr almost periodic function on R with a bounded spectrum we proved there exist Cf > 0 and integer n > 0 such that for every u > 0 the mean measure of the set f x : jf(x)j < u g is less than Cf u1=n: For trigonometric polynomials with n + 1 frequencies we showed that Cf can be chosen to depend only on n and the modulus of the largest coefficient of f: We showed this bound implies that the Mahler measure M(h); of the lift h of f to a compactification G of R; is positive and discussed the relationship of Mahler measure to the Riemann Hypothesis
