Material on complex random variables and exotic probabilities

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for literature specifically addressing complex random variables and exotic probabilities, which can take on complex values, including values greater than 1 or negative. The user expresses interest in combining complex analysis with statistics, highlighting a lack of comprehensive mathematical resources on these topics. Most existing materials are found in physics papers, particularly those related to quantum physics. The user seeks more mathematical treatments rather than applied physics perspectives.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis
  • Familiarity with random variables and probability theory
  • Knowledge of signal processing concepts
  • Basic statistics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mathematical treatments of complex random variables
  • Explore literature on exotic probabilities and their applications
  • Investigate the role of complex random variables in signal processing
  • Review quantum physics papers that discuss complex probabilities
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, statisticians, researchers in signal processing, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of complex random variables and exotic probabilities.

I am looking for books that have sections or even chapters devoted to complex random variables, or random variables that can take on complex values (NOT probabilities that are valued in the complex range, in this regard). On the other hand, if someone does know any books that contain material on exotic probabilities that would be neat too (in this case probability can be complex valued, greater than 1 or even negative). I got interested in this while brushing up on my complex analysis and reading a statistics book at the same time. Figured, why not try to combine the two in some way? I've seen other people have tried this, but most of the material I find are in physics papers and mostly are applied to quantum physics. If possible, I'd like to see more mathematical treatments of the topics. Thanks.
