Cumulative Distribution

Place n arcs of equal lengths randomly on the circumference of a circle, and let C denote the proportion covered. The moments of C (moments of coverage) are found by solving a recursive integral equation, and a formula is derived for the cumulative distribution function. The asymptotic distribution of C for large n is explored, and is shown to be related to the exponential distribution.

New Distribution

This article proposed a new distribution referred to as the transmuted odd generalized exponential-exponential distribution (TOGEED) as an extension of the popular odd generalized exponential- exponential distribution by using the Quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM) proposed and studied by [1]. Using the transmutation map, we defined the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the transmuted odd generalized Exponential- Exponential distribution. Some properties of the new distribution were extensively studied after derivation. The estimation of the distribution’s parameters was also done using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the proposed probability distribution was checked in comparison with some other generalizations of Exponential distribution using a real life dataset.

Birth And Death Process

Abstract We consider the distribution of the age of an individual picked uniformly at random at some fixed time in a linear birth-and-death process. By exploiting a bijection between the birth-and-death tree and a contour process, we derive the cumulative distribution function for this distribution. In the critical and supercritical cases, we also give rates for the convergence in terms of the total variation and other metrics towards the appropriate exponential distribution.

General Properties

We look at the issue of obtaining a variance like measure associated with probability distributions over ordinal sets. We call these dissonance measures. We specify some general properties desired in these dissonance measures. The centrality of the cumulative distribution function in formulating the concept of dissonance is pointed out. We introduce some specific examples of measures of dissonance.
