Estimating the probability of loss reversal

open access: yes, 2008
This study aims to examine loss reversals with an emphasis on the effect of research and development expenditures on the probability of experiencing loss reversals. This paper builds on previous research by examining a variety of company variables such as accruals, cashflows, dividends, company size, earnings and R&D expenses against the chance of ...

On the convexity of loss probabilities

Journal of Applied Probability, 2002
For the M/G/c loss system, it is well known that Erlang's loss probability is convex in the number of servers. We extend this result firstly to renewal arrivals and exponential service, then to regenerative arrivals and exponential service, and finally to an arbitrary arrival process with i.i.d. service times that are independent of the arrival process.

Energy-loss probability in electron microscopy

Physical Review B, 1987
New general results on the self-energy of fast electrons interacting with metal surfaces are presented with emphasis on the energy-loss problem in electron microscopy. Some applications to both spherical and planar targets are considered. Our results are relevant to the understanding of inelastic electron scattering near small structures, at the ...

The Probability of Loss of Calls in Heavy Traffic

Theory of Probability & Its Applications, 1964
The full availability group of trunks with an arbitrary distribution of the inter-arrival times and a negative exponential holding time distribution is considered. The possibility of evaluating the probability of loss of calls by Erlang’s formula, as a first approximation, is established under very general conditions on streams with high intensity ...

Evaluation of packet loss probability in Bluetooth networks

2002 IEEE International Conference on Communications. Conference Proceedings. ICC 2002 (Cat. No.02CH37333), 2003
We provide a closed-form expression for the packet loss probability in Bluetooth networks accounting for capture effects due to propagation losses. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is assessed comparing the analytical results with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations.

Computation of Loss-of-Load Probability

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1976
When the reliability of an electric power system is evaluated by the Loss-of-Load Probability (LOLP) method, it is customary to take into account the uncertainty in load forecasts by associating a peak-load distribution (as a parameter expressing the uncertainty) with the assumed daily peak-load duration curve, then to compute the unconditional LOLP as

On the probable maximum loss

Blätter der DGVFM, 1990
In some nonlife insurance branches the probable maximum loss is of great importance for judging a given risk or a given collective of risks. In the present paper, the author gives a general mathematical definition and a new practicable calculation method for the probable maximum loss.

Bit Loss Probability versus Loss Probability in the Admission Control Process of Non-Elastic Traffic Sources

2008 Fourth Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications, 2008
Admission control is one of the key functions performed by the management of services and network resources in order to guarantee the QoS requirements of different types of traffic flows. In the case of non-elastic traffic streams, the admission control is typically based on a formula derived by assuming that the traffic aggregate may be approximated ...
