Some Technical Remarks on Negations of Discrete Probability Distributions and Their Information Loss [PDF]
Negation of a discrete probability distribution was introduced by Yager. To date, several papers have been published discussing generalizations, properties, and applications of negation. The recent work by Wu et al.

Insurance Purchase for Low-Probability Losses [PDF]
It is widely accepted that individuals tend to underinsure against low-probability, high-loss events relative to high-probability, low-loss events. This conventional wisdom is based largely on field studies, as there is very little experimental evidence.

Computing Loss Probabilities in Discrete-Time Queues [PDF]
Discrete-time queueing systems are frequently encountered in telecommunication networks. These systems usually involve finite buffers. The purpose of this paper is to present a generally applicable method to compute the loss probability in discrete-time finite-buffer queues by using only the state probabilities in the corresponding infinite-buffer ...

Analysis of causation of loss of communication with marine autonomous systems: a probability tree approach [PDF]
The last decade has seen the eagerly anticipated introduction of marine autonomous systems as a pragmatic tool for ocean observation. However, outstanding reliability problems means that these vehicles are not yet fulfilling their true potential.

Large losses–-probability minimizing approach [PDF]
The probability minimizing problem of large losses of portfolio in discrete and continuous time models is studied. This gives a generalization of quantile hedging presented in [3].

Probability Distribution Of Fire Losses [PDF]
Data on fire losses in Hotels and Motels collected by the National Fire Incident Reporting System in the USA between 1983-1995 are statistically analysed. It is shown, using as illustration the year 1988 data, that the non-zero fire losses closely follow a lognormal distribution.

Queuing Delay Model for Video Transmission Over Multi-Channel Underwater Wireless Optical Networks
In this paper, we analyze a delay-sensitive underwater wireless optical network used for livevideo applications. The video streams are generated at the sender and are transmitted through underwater multi-channel paths that span over several meters of ...

PACE: Redundancy Engineering in RLNC for Low-Latency Communication
Random linear network coding (RLNC) is attractive for data transfer as well as data storage and retrieval in complex and unreliable settings. The existing systematic RLNC approach first sends all source symbols in a generation without encoding followed ...

Risk Attitude in the DuLong Minority Ethnicity of China
Prospect theory predicts a four-fold risk attitude, which means that people are risk seeking for low-probability gain and high-probability loss and risk averse for low-probability loss and high-probability gain because they overweight probability when it
