Lukacs's proportion-sum independence theorem

Lukacs's proportion-sum independence theorem In statistics, Lukacs's proportion-sum independence theorem is a result that is used when studying proportions, in particular the Dirichlet distribution. It is named after Eugene Lukacs.[1] The theorem If Y1 and Y2 are non-degenerate, independent random variables, then the random variables {displaystyle W=Y_{1}+O_{2}{texte{ et }}P={frac {O_{1}}{O_{1}+O_{2}}}} are independently distributed if and only if both Y1 and Y2 have gamma distributions with the same scale parameter.

Corollary Suppose Y i, i = 1, ..., k be non-degenerate, independent, positive random variables. Then each of k − 1 random variables {style d'affichage P_{je}={frac {O_{je}}{somme _{je=1}^{k}O_{je}}}} is independent of {displaystyle W=sum _{je=1}^{k}O_{je}} if and only if all the Y i have gamma distributions with the same scale parameter.[2] References ^ Lukacs, Eugène (1955).
