Dear Reader, imagine that you are a participant of Olympic Games, say, you are one of n
competitors in high-jumping. Before the start the future results of participants can be …

Characterization of distributions plays an important role in statistical science. Using the basic
properties of data, characterizations provide the type of distributions of that data set …

We study the exact distribution of linear combinations of order statistics of arbitrary
(absolutely continuous) dependent random variables. In particular, we examine the case …

We consider here the distributions of order statistics and linear combinations of order
statistics from an elliptical distribution. We show that these distributions can be expressed as …

In this paper, we derive recurrence relations for cumulative distribution functions (cdf's) of
bivariate t and extended skew-t distributions. These recurrence relations are over ν (the …

We consider the problem of finding the distribution of linear functions of two ordered
correlated normal random variables. We derive some distributional properties for these …

Sourcing new products in advance entails significant risks for a buyer. To reduce the
possibility of bringing a mediocre item to the market, buyers can build a large supply base …

Railway scheduling is based on the principle of the construction of a conflict-free timetable.
This leads to a strict definition of capacity: in contrast with road transportation, it can be said …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used in genetic association studies to
identify both common and rare variants associated with complex diseases. Various statistical …

Holographic coding has the very appealing property of obtaining partial information on the
data from any part of the coded information. In the paper, holographic coding schemes …
