Automatic Generation of Optimal Reductions of Distributions

A reduction of a source distribution is a collection of smaller sized distributions that are collectively equivalent to the source distribution with respect to the property of decomposability. That is, an arbitrary language is decomposable with respe...

Kappa distributions: theory and applications in space plasmas

Particle velocity distribution functions (VDF) in space plasmas often show non Maxwellian suprathermal tails decreasing as a power law of the velocity. Such distributions are well fitted by the so-called Kappa distribution. The presence of such distr...

Comparisons of Australian Mental Health Distributions

Bayesian nonparametric estimates of Australian mental health distributions are obtained to assess how the mental health status of the population has changed over time and to compare the mental health status of female/male and indigenous/non-indigenou...

Moments and Entropy of the Interpolating Family of Size Distributions

Sinner et al. (2016) recently introduced a five-parameter family of size distributions, coined Interpolating Family or IF distribution for short. In this complementary note, we take advantage of the tractability of the IF distribution to compute the...

KiDS-1000 catalogue: Redshift distributions and their calibration

We present redshift distribution estimates of galaxies selected from the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey over an area of $\sim1000$ deg$^2$ (KiDS-1000). These redshift distributions represent one of the crucial ingredients for weak grav...

Do wealth distributions follow power laws? Evidence from "rich lists"

We use data on wealth of the richest persons taken from the "rich lists" provided by business magazines like Forbes to verify if upper tails of wealth distributions follow, as often claimed, a power-law behaviour. The data sets used cover the world's...

On the Normalizing Constant of the Continuous Categorical Distribution

Probability distributions supported on the simplex enjoy a wide range of applications across statistics and machine learning. Recently, a novel family of such distributions has been discovered: the continuous categorical. This family enjoys remarkabl...
