We propose a new hierarchical Bayesian n-gram model of natural languages. Our model makes use of a generalization of the commonly used Dirichlet distributions called Pitman-Yor pr...
Uncertainty processing methods are analysed from the viewpoint of their sensitivity to small variations of certainty factors. The analysis makes use of the algebraic theory which ...
In this paper we consider nonhomogeneous birth and death processes (BDP) with periodic rates. Two important parameters are studied, which are helpful to describe a nonhomogeneous B...
