Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Covariance: a measure of the direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Discrete ...

In the paper we first show how to convert a generalized Bonferroni-type inequality into an estimation for the generating function of the number of occurring events, then we give estimates for the ...

We develop an algorithm for computing approximations to the stationary distribution of a discrete birth-and-death process, provided that the infinitesimal generator is a banded matrix. We begin by ...

I HAVE recently 1 been investigating certain probability distributions arising from points possessing one of k colours or characters arranged on a line or in the form of a rectangular lattice. In the ...

After publication of an earlier version of this paper, we received feedback that there were several incorrect references to related methods in the literature. These errors are corrected in the current ...
