Levy distribution

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: LordRAlmost, this would work if Z --> log(Z^2) was an invertible map, but note that log(Z^2) = 2*log(|Z|) so you need to calculate the probability that P(|Z| <= exp(...)) which is not that hard.You are rigth, the function must be invertible... here is may be what you wa...

Levy distribution

Hiif you set X=log(Z^2), and you want to get the distribution function F of Xcoudln't you do that:F(x)=P(X<=x)=P(log(Z^2)<=x)=P(Z<=(e^(x))^(1/2))..... ???and then a change of variable in te integral should give what you need Right??

Sending a PhD Thesis to HHs?

<t>I do not fear the fact that the work may be stolen, but I do not want the thesis gets spread over companies, as a CV for example. I guess HHs show the thesis only to potential recruiter. But what about agencies??Also, I guess then an incomplete draft won't mind recruiters, since they do use it to...
