On Probabilistic Proofs of Certain Binomial Identities
P. Vellaisamy
We give a simple statistical proof of a binomial identity, by evaluating the Laplace transform of the maximum of n independent exponential random variables in two different ways. A…

Simpson's Paradox and Collapsibility
P. Vellaisamy
Simpson's paradox and collapsibility are two closely related concepts in the context of data analysis. While the knowledge about the occurrence of Simpson's paradox helps a statist…

A Compound Poisson Convergence Theorem for Sums of -Dependent Variables
V. Cekanavicius, P. Vellaisamy
We prove the Simons-Johnson theorem for the sums of -dependent random variables, with exponential weights and limiting compound Poisson distribution $\CP(s,λ)$. More preci…
