Speaker: Dmitri Karp

Time: 2:00 pm
Place: Room 503 of IMI – BAS

Abstract: In the talk I will first discuss the log-concavity in parameters of the normalized beta function (which represents the cumulative distribution function of beta distributed random variable) that has been used recently in an investigation of lottery frauds in Florida.  I will then present some related  properties of incomplete beta function and proceed to general log-concavity problems and their particular cases motivated by various problems in statistics, probability and analysis.
