Reducing Estimation Uncertainty Using Normalizing Flows and Stratification

Paweł Lorek, Rafał Nowak, Rafał Topolnicki +3

Estimating the expectation of a real-valued function of a random variable from sample data is a critical aspect of statistical analysis, with far-reaching implications in various a…

Some algebraic identity and its relations to Stirling numbers of the second kind

Paweł Lorek

In this short note we provide some algebraic identity with a proof exploiting its probabilistic interpretation. We show several consequences of the identity, in particular we obtai…

On testing pseudorandom generators via statistical tests based on the arcsine law

Paweł Lorek, Grzegorz Łoś, Karol Gotfryd +1

Testing the quality of pseudorandom number generators is an important issue. Security requirements become more and more demanding, weaknesses in this matter are simply not acceptab…

Antiduality and Möbius monotonicity: Generalized Coupon Collector Problem

Paweł Lorek

For a given absorbing Markov chain on a finite state space, a chain is a sharp antidual of if the fastest strong stationary time of is equal, in distribution, t…

Absorption time and absorption probabilities for a family of multidimensional gambler models

Paweł Lorek, Piotr Markowski

For a family of multidimensional gambler models we provide formulas for the winning probabilities (in terms of parameters of the system) and for the distribution of game duration (…
