Maintaining discrete probability distributions optimally

1993
Consider a distribution as an abstract data type that represents a probability distribution f on a finite set and supports a generate operation, which returns a random value distributed according to f and independent of the values returned by previous calls. We study the implementation of dynamic distributions, which additionally support changes to the

Probability Distributions: Discrete

2018
The discrete probability distributions are introduced in this chapter. The general rules of a discrete probability distributions are illustrated and the concepts of expected value and variance are shown. The rules are illustrated with a number of examples.

Probability II: More Discrete Probability

2004
In this chapter, we cover the material on finite probability spaces that is needed for the discussion of discrete-time models in the next chapter.

Probability I: An Introduction to Discrete Probability

2004
Asset pricing involves the prediction of future events and as such relies very heavily on the mathematical theory of probability. In this chapter, we begin a discussion of basic probability. This discussion will continue in later chapters, as the need for more information arises in connection with subsequent topics to be covered in the book.

Discrete Probability Distributions

2012
In Chapter 6, you learn how to use R for the binomial distribution and the Poisson distribution. We quickly review the characteristics of a discrete probability distribution, and then you learn the various functions in R that make it easy to work with both discrete and continuous distributions.

Probability on discrete structures

2012
This dissertation contains the solutions to two problems. The first problem concerns probability on trees. The second is a covering problem. Several different probability problems can be studied on trees, such as random walks, percolation, random-walk-in-random-environment and tree-indexed processes. Optimal-reward problems are one reason to study tree-
