Distribution of ratio between complex Gaussian and Chi-square R.V.s
What would be the distribution (p.d.f.) of the following ratio?
$$z = \frac{x_{1}}{|x_{1}|^2 + |x_{2}|^2 + ... + |x_{M}|^2}$$
where $x_{i} \sim \mathcal{CN}(0,a), \forall i$ and $a > 1$. As can ...

Singular Fisher information matrix and existence of unbiased estimators
I'm doing some research into the Cramer-Rao bound for time of arrival localization and have come across a rather strange result: the FIM is singular, but there exists an unbiased estimator. My ...

Maximum likelihood estimator for Power-law with Exponential cutoff
Hi,
for fitting empirical data to power-law I am aware of the work by Clauset et al. (http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.1062) and how to use maximum likelihood estimation. There exists also a simple maximum ...

Optimal linear measurement operator
Let $x\in R^n$ be an unknown vector. Suppose I am allowed to choose any $A\in R^{m\times n}$, under the constraint that each row of $A$ has $\ell_2$ norm at most $1$. Then I carry out a "measurement", ...

Proving the exponential decay of Green's function for the lattice $-\Delta+p$
The Green function $G(x,y) =G(x-y)$ of the discrete Klein-Gordon operator $-\Delta+p$ on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ is given by:
\begin{eqnarray}
G(x-y) = \int_{[-\pi,\pi]^{d}}\frac{d^{d}k}{(2\pi)^{d}}\frac{e^{...

Estimating the average of two gaussians' mean
Assume that $X\sim \mathcal N(\sigma_1,\mu_1)$ and $Y\sim \mathcal N(\sigma_2,\mu_2)$.
I want to estimate $\frac{\mu_1+\mu_2}{2}$ after observing $X,Y$.
In my setting, $\sigma_1,\sigma_2$ are known ...

Form of minimax estimator
Let $\Delta$ be the set of all probability distributions over $\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,\ldots\}$ and fix some $\mathcal{P}\subseteq\Delta$.
Suppose additionally that $\Delta$ is endowed with some norm $||\...
