On the Hurwitz zeta function with an application to the beta-exponential distribution

Julyan Arbel, Olivier Marchal, Bernardo Nipoti

We prove a monotonicity property of the Hurwitz zeta function which, in turn, translates into a chain of inequalities for polygamma functions of different orders. We provide a prob…

Sub-Weibull distributions: generalizing sub-Gaussian and sub-Exponential properties to heavier-tailed distributions

Mariia Vladimirova, Stephane Girard, Hien Nguyen +1

We propose the notion of sub-Weibull distributions, which are characterised by tails lighter than (or equally light as) the right tail of a Weibull distribution. This novel class g…

Dependence properties and Bayesian inference for asymmetric multivariate copulas

Julyan Arbel, Marta Crispino, Stéphane Girard

We study a broad class of asymmetric copulas introduced by Liebscher (2008) as a combination of multiple - usually symmetric - copulas. The main thrust of the paper is to provide n…

A simple proof of Pitman-Yor's Chinese restaurant process from its stick-breaking representation

Caroline Lawless, Julyan Arbel

For a long time, the Dirichlet process has been the gold standard discrete random measure in Bayesian nonparametrics. The Pitman--Yor process provides a simple and mathematically t…

Stochastic approximations to the Pitman-Yor process

Julyan Arbel, Pierpaolo De Blasi, Igor Pruenster

In this paper we consider approximations to the popular Pitman-Yor process obtained by truncating the stick-breaking representation. The truncation is determined by a random stoppi…
