Boundary Distributions with Respect to Chebyshev's Inequality

Bias

Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Variables whose distributions achieve the boundary value of Chebyshev's inequality are characterized and it is found that non-constant variables with this property are symmetric discrete with at most three values.Nevertheless, the bound of Chebyshev's inequality remains optimal for the class of continuous variables.
