An exact algorithm for generating two positively correlated Beta-distributed random variables is provided. The paired Beta-distributed random variables are generated from ratios of independent standard Gamma distributions. A positive correlation is achieved by introducing two shared standard...

Linear Programming model is an important tool used to solve constrained optimization problems. In fact, the real life problems are usually occurring in the presence of uncertainty. For instance, in managerial problems of assigning employees to different tasks with the aim of minimizing the total...

Supplementary Appendix is available at: "https://ssrn.com/abstract=2970015" https://ssrn.com/abstract=2970015. Decision making in finance often requires an accurate estimate of the coskewness matrix to optimize the allocation to random variables with asymmetric distributions. The classical...

Foster and Hart proposed an operational measure of riskiness for discrete random variables. We show that their defining equation has no solution for many common continuous distributions. We show how to extend consistently the definition of riskiness to continuous random variables. For many...

Abstract Extropy was introduced as a dual complement of the Shannon entropy. In this investigation, we consider failure extropy and its dynamic version. Various basic properties of these measures are presented. It is shown that the dynamic failure extropy characterizes the distribution function...
