— In this paper a new approach to optimize nuclear power plant designs based on global risk reduction are described. In design the focus is on as components quality as redundancy...
: This paper develops a theory of probabilistic models for risky choices. Part of this theory can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory to account for bounded ra...
Adaptor grammars extend probabilistic context-free grammars to define prior distributions over trees with "rich get richer" dynamics. Inference for adaptor grammars seek...
Archibald and Knopfmacher recently considered the largest missing value in a composition of an integer and established mean and variance. Our alternative, probabilistic approach p...
Computer system designers often evaluate future design alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for functional fidelity (to execute relevant workloads) and performance fi...
