Gaps between descending order statistics

If the $X_i$ are independent and uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$, the (finite) point process $\sum_1^n \delta_{nX_i}$ converges in law to a Poisson point process on $\mathbb R^+$ with unit intensity, …

Average Multivariate Gaussian

No, a mixture of Gaussians is not Gaussian: $\exp[-(x-1)^2]+\exp[-(x+1)^2]$ is very different from a constant times $\exp[-x^2]$.

Average Multivariate Gaussian

A sum of independent random variables is Gaussian if and only if each of them is Gaussian (Cramér, 1939). Apply this to $X_1$, which is the sum of a centered Gaussian with variance $1$ and an independ …

How can the Kalman filter be adapted to handle binary observations?

What I would try when facing such a problem: 1°) Minimize $\lambda\int p'(t)^2\ dt +$ the sum of informations $\log (1/p(t_k))$ if heads at $t_k$, $\log (1/[1-p(t_k)])$ if tails. 2°) Chose $\lambda$ …
