Learning PDFA with Asynchronous Transitions
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...

An Empirical Model for Volatility of Returns and Option Pricing
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 ...

Reliability Sampling Plans Under Progressive Type-I Interval Censoring Using Cost Functions
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...

A convenient way of generating gamma random variables using generalized exponential distribution
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

Exponential Priors for Maximum Entropy Models
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...

Modeling Channel Occupancy Times for Voice Traffic in Cellular Networks
—Call holding times in telephony networks are commonly approximated by exponential distributions to facilitate traffic engineering. However, for traffic engineering of cellular n...
