The Pearson IV distribution: Random variate generation and applications
Luc Devroye, Joe R. Hill
We develop uniformly fast random variate generators for the Pearson IV distribution that can be used over the entire range of both shape parameters and highlight some applications…
Broadcasting in random recursive dags
Simon Briend, Luc Devroye, Gabor Lugosi
A uniform -{\sc dag} generalizes the uniform random recursive tree by picking parents uniformly at random from the existing nodes. It starts with ''roots''. Each of the…
A note on the exact simulation of a random eigenvalue of a GUE matrix
Luc Devroye, Jad Hamdan
We develop a simple algorithm to generate random variables described by densities equaling squared Hermite functions. As an application, we show how to generate a randomly chosen e…
Subtractive random forests
Nicolas Broutin, Luc Devroye, Gabor Lugosi +1
Motivated by online recommendation systems, we study a family of random forests. The vertices of the forest are labeled by integers. Each non-positive integer is the root…
Density estimation using cellular binary trees and an application to monotone densities
Luc Devroye, Jad Hamdan
Consider a density on that must be estimated from an i.i.d. sample drawn from . In this note, we study binary-tree-based histogram estimates that use r…
On the peel number and the leaf-height of a Galton-Watson tree
Luc Devroye, Marcel K. Goh, Rosie Y. Zhao
We study several parameters of a random Bienaymé-Galton-Watson tree of size defined in terms of an offspring distribution with mean and nonzero finite variance $σ…
