Dickman approximation in simulation, summations and perpetuities

Chinmoy Bhattacharjee, Larry Goldstein

The generalized Dickman distribution ${\mathcal{D}}_{\theta }$ with parameter $\theta >0$ is the unique solution to the distributional equality $W{=}_d{W}^{\ast }$, where \begin{eqnarray} W^*=_d U^{1/θ}(W+1)…
