Chapter 3: Problem 6

Let \(X\) have a generalized Pareto distribution with parameters \(k, \alpha\), and \(\beta\). Show, by change of variables, that \(Y=\beta X /(1+\beta X)\) has a beta distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified
By changing the variables and transforming the generalized Pareto distribution, \(Y = \frac{\beta X}{1+\beta X} \) followed a beta distribution. This was confirmed by transforming and simplifying the pdf.

Step by step solution

01

Setup the Problem

Firstly, understand that you are given \(X\) with a generalized Pareto distribution, and the task is to prove that the variable \(Y=\beta X /(1+\beta X)\) follows a Beta distribution.
02

Performing a Change of Variables

To start with this problem, one must first perform a change of variable from \(X\) to \(Y\). Therefore, let's solve the equation \(Y=\beta X /(1+\beta X)\) for \(X\), which will give us \(X=Y/(1-Y)\). Now we can write the pdf of \(X\) in terms of \(Y\). Derivative of \(X\) with respect to \(Y\) gives \(\frac {dX}{dY} = \frac {1} {(1-Y)^2}\), which is necessary for the transformation.
03

Getting the pdf of Y

Now you have to find the pdf of \(Y\) by substituting the transformation of \(X\) from Step 2 into the pdf of \(X\). Once done, multiply the result with absolute value of \(\frac {dX}{dY}\). The pdf of \(X\) for a generalized Pareto distribution is given by \(f_X (x) = \frac {1} {\beta} (1 + kx/\beta)^{-(1+k)/\alpha}\) for \(x>0\). Therefore, the pdf of \(Y\) will be \(f_Y (y) = |(\frac {dX}{dY})| * f_X (x)\), where \(x = y/(1-y)\).
04

Simplifying the pdf of Y

Here, the challenge is to simplify the expression of \(f_Y (y)\) to show that it is equivalent to the pdf of a Beta distribution. Work through the simplification and you should find the pdf of the Beta distribution.

The means and standard deviations for the steps are (in minutes): $$ \begin{array}{ccc} \hline \text { Step } & \text { Mean } & \text { Standard Deviation } \\ \hline 1 & 17 & 2 \\ 2 & 13 & 1 \\ 3 & 13 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Assuming independent steps and normal distributions, compute the probability that the job will take less than 40 minutes to complete.
