Limit theorems for quasi-arithmetic means of random variables with applications to point estimations for the Cauchy distribution
Abstract. We establish some limit theorems for quasi-arithmetic means of random variables. This class of means contains the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. Our feature is that the generators of quasiarithmetic means are allowed to be complex-valued, which makes considerations for quasi-arithmetic means of random variables which could take negative values possible. Our motivation for the limit theorems is finding simple estimators of the parameters of the Cauchy distribution. By applying the limit theorems, we obtain some closed-form unbiased strongly-consistent estimators for the joint of the location and scale parameters of the Cauchy distribution, which are easy to compute and analyze.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics aims to publish high quality research papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes.
More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered:
(i) Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or their computational aspects.
(ii) Original articles developing theoretical results.
(iii) Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems. For these papers the focus is in the importance and originality of the applied problem, as well as, applications of the best available methodologies to solve it.
(iv) Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and statistics. The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.
