纯生过程的变异性
On Variability in Birth Processes

摘要: 设X(t):t≥ 0为零初值纯生过程,出生率为λn,n ≥ 0.在本文中,我们证明了Faddy7的一个猜测:当出生率为单调增加序列λ0≤λ1≤λ2≤ …。时,VarX(t) ≥EX(t);当出生率为单调减少序列时VarX(t)≤E(t)。Abstract: Let X(t):t≥ 0 with X(0) = 0 be a pure birth process with birth rates λn,n ≥ 0. In this note, we prove a conjecture made by Faddy7 that VarX(t) ≥ EX(t) holds for any increasing sequence of transition rates λ0≤λ1≤λ2≤ …and the reverse for any decreasing sequence.
