Using a generalization of troupes that we call weighted troupes, we generalize this result to allow for multivariate cumulants. Our result also gives a combinatorial description of the corresponding Boolean cumulants. This allows us to answer a question of Defant regarding his troupe transform. We also provide explicit distributions whose cumulants correspond to some specific weighted troupes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-08T20:27:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05", "05A18", "05A19", "46L53" ], "keywords": [ "classical cumulants", "tree enumerations", "binary plane trees", "combinatorial description", "specific weighted troupes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
