In this paper we extend the PAC learning algorithm due to Clark and Thollard for learning distributions generated by PDFA to automata whose transitions may take varying time length...
In a seminal paper in 1973, Black and Scholes argued how expected distributions of stock prices can be used to price options. Their model assumed a directed random motion for the ...
Abstract--This paper gives a reliability sampling plan for progressively type I interval censored life tests when the lifetime follows the exponential distribution. We use the maxi...
In this paper we propose a very convenient way to generate gamma random variables using generalized exponential distribution, when the shape parameter lies between 0
Maximum entropy models are a common modeling technique, but prone to overfitting. We show that using an exponential distribution as a prior leads to bounded absolute discounting b...
This paper describes a distribution fitting exercise that has been used in an undergraduate introductory simulation class. The intent is for students to collect data describing a ...
—Call holding times in telephony networks are commonly approximated by exponential distributions to facilitate traffic engineering. However, for traffic engineering of cellular n...
