Let $X_1, X_2$ be two iid random row vectors in $\mathbb{R}^p$, each of whose components are real valued. I'd like to prove that the $\mathbb{R}^{p\times p}$ random matrices $X_1X_1', X_2X_2'$ are al …

Let $X_1, \dots, X_n \sim_{iid} \chi^2_{m}$ be a random sample from a chi-squared distribution with $m$ degrees of freedom (d.f.). I was wondering if there's any known result for the order statistics …

For each $ m \ge 1$, let $X_m$ and $Y_m$ be two non-negative iid random variables with the same distribution. (The distributions of $X_m$ may change with different $m$.) **Assume that their support of …

I tried posting this question on Cross Validated (the stack exchange for statistics) but didn't get an answer, so posting here: Let's consider a supervised learning problem where $\{(x_1,y_1) \dots (x …

I'm interested to see a result where for large degree of freedom $m,$ the chi distribution $\chi_m$ is increasingly well approximated by a family of normal distributions with parameters depending on $ …

Posted here too: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1711026/two-minimization-problems-using-singular-value-decomposition Let $q_0, q_1:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}^n$ be two maps whose components are $L …

I asked this on MSE, but got no answer, hence asking here now. Help appreciated! My question is motivated by this question and this question, where the first was aimed for giving a one sided tail bou …

Let $X \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu, \Sigma) \in \mathbb{R}^d$ follow a multivariate normal distribution. Then what's the distribution (PDF, CDF etc.) of $X?$ When $\mu = 0, \Sigma = I_d,$ we know that $||X| …

Density of Gaussian mixture with $n$ components is given by: $$f(x):=C \sum_{i=1}^{n}e^{-\frac{1}{2}||\frac{x-x_i}{h}||^2}, x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d, h > 0$$ where $C$ is a normalization constant ensuring …

It's well-known that the Euclidean $2$-norm of subgaussian random vectors concentrates in high dimensions, e.g. when $X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,I_n),$ (or in general $X$ is subgaussian with independent co- …

Motivated by this question asked earlier, I was wondering whether one can prove easily that the local maxima of the sum of Gaussians: $$f_n(x):= \sum_{i=1}^{n}e^{-(x-x_i)^2}, \quad x_1 < x_2 < \dots < …

This is a follow up of the question in one dimension, that asked to show that the all the maxima of the sum of Gaussian $$f_n(x):= \sum_{i=1}^{n}e^{-(x-x_i)^2}, x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_n$$ are strict lo …
