Connecting statistics, probability, algebra and discrete mathematics

open access: yes, 2021
In this paper, we connect four different branches of Mathematics: Statistics, Probability, Algebra and Discrete Mathematics with the objective of introducing new results on Markov chains and evolution algebras obtained by following a relatively new line ...

Homotopy probability theory I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This is the first of two papers that introduce a deformation theoretic framework to explain and broaden a link between homotopy algebra and probability theory. In this paper, cumulants are proved to coincide with morphisms of homotopy algebras.

Justifying Definitions in Mathematics—Going Beyond Lakatos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper addresses the actual practice of justifying definitions in mathematics. First, I introduce the main account of this issue, namely Lakatos's proof-generated definitions.

The probability of generating a finite simple group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We study the probability of generating a finite simple group, together with its generalisation PG,socG(d), the conditional probability of generating an almost simple finite group G by d elements, given that these elements generate G/ socG.

Probability in ethics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It is natural to think that the most basic questions in ethical theory do not have much to do with probability. Given answers to these questions, we can try to extend them to cases involving probability, though this job might best be handled by more ...

A Mathematical Framework for Learning Probability Distributions

open access: yesJournal of Machine Learning, 2022
The modeling of probability distributions, specifically generative modeling and density estimation, has become an immensely popular subject in recent years by virtue of its outstanding performance on sophisticated data such as images and texts. Nevertheless, a theoretical understanding of its success is still incomplete.

Teaching and learning probability in an age of technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Modern classrooms have access to a range of potential technologies, ranging from calculators to computers to the Internet. This paper explores some of the potential for such technologies to affect the curriculum and teaching of probability in the ...
