What Is A Probability Density Function? A probability density function, also known as a bell curve, is a fundamental statistics concept, that describes the likelihood of a continuous random variable ...

Advances in Applied Probability, Vol. 19, No. 3 (Sep., 1987), pp. 632-651 (20 pages) We consider a class of functions on [0,∞), denoted by Ω , having Laplace transforms with only negative zeros and ...

We propose a method for reconstructing a probability density function (pdf) from a sample of an n-dimensional probability distribution. The method works by iteratively applying some simple ...

In this paper, we propose a functional linear regression model in the space of probability density functions. We treat a cross-sectional distribution of individual earnings as an infinite dimensional ...

In this paper we investigate operators that map one or more probability distributions on the positive real line into another via their Laplace-Stieltjes transforms. Our goal is to make it easier to ...
