Buy-and-Hold Strategies and Comonotonic Approximations [PDF]
[cat] En aquest article estudiem estratègies “comprar i mantenir” per a problemes d’optimitzar la riquesa final en un context multi-període. Com que la riquesa final és una suma de variables aleatòries dependents, on cadascuna d’aquestes correspon a una ...

Logical Approximations of Qualitative Probability. [PDF]
We provide approximations of qualitative probability, that is, comparative structures which are representable by probability measures. We introduce sequences of qualitative belief structures, based on the ideas of Depth-Bounded logics D’Agostino et al ...

Parameter Estimation for Some Probability Distributions Used in Hydrology
Estimating the parameters of probability distributions generally involves solving a system of nonlinear equations or a nonlinear equation, being a technical difficulty in their usual application in hydrology.

Approximations of the ruin probability in a discrete time risk model
Based on a discrete version of the Pollaczeck–Khinchine formula, a general method to calculate the ultimate ruin probability in the Gerber–Dickson risk model is provided when claims follow a negative binomial mixture distribution.

Integral Approximations for Coverage Probability [PDF]
This letter gives approximations to an integral appearing in the formula for downlink coverage probability of a typical user in Poisson point process (PPP) based stochastic geometry frameworks of the form $\int_0^\infty \exp\{ - (Ax + B x^{α/2}) \} \ud x$. Four different approximations are studied.

Depth-Bounded Approximations of Probability [PDF]
We introduce measures of uncertainty that are based on Depth-Bounded Logics [4] and resemble belief functions. We show that our measures can be seen as approximation of classical probability measures over classical logic, and that a variant of the PSAT [10] problem for them is solvable in polynomial time.

Asymptotic Diffusion Analysis of Multi-Server Retrial Queue with Hyper-Exponential Service
A multi-server retrial queue with a hyper-exponential service time is considered in this paper. The study is performed by the method of asymptotic diffusion analysis under the condition of long delay in orbit.
