Abstract: This paper derives new bounds on the difference of the entropies of two discrete random variables in terms of the local and total variation distances between their probability mass functions ...

The Grim Beeper attack was very discrete — the intimate targeting of terrorist commanders and tactical leaders. But it was also a near-simultaneous mass attack striking targets over a wide area in ...

Abstract: Consider a system comprising sensors that communicate with a remote estimator by way of a so-called collision channel. Each sensor observes a discrete random variable and must decide whether ...

What Is A Probability Density Function? A probability density function, also known as a bell curve, is a fundamental statistics concept, that describes the likelihood of a continuous random variable ...

Elements of descriptive statistics, averages, dispersion, skewness, quantiles; graphical displays, pie charts, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, box plots, steam ...

The COS method was introduced in Fang & Oosterlee (2008) and then was applied to pricing a variety of stock options for continuous random variables. This paper adapts the Fourier-cosine series (COS) ...
