Three random variable transformations giving Heisenberg-type uncertainty relations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Though intrinsically probabilistic, the 1927 quantum mechanics Heisenberg uncertainty relation is still non-existent as a native Kolmogorov probability construct. This paper fills the gap via three random variable transformations that generate Heisenberg-

Eliciting opinions of experts using uncertainty

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2015
Multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods designed for evaluation of attractiveness of available alternatives, whenever used in decision-aid systems, imply active participation of experts.

Quantitative Framework for Astrobiology Strategies and in situ Biogenic Assessments

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
In July 2020, NASA’s Perseverance (Mars 2020) mission was launched. The rover sent to the surface of Mars will not only perform in situ analyses, but will also collect rock and regolith samples that will be returned to Earth by future missions for ...

The Role of the Subjectivist Position in the Probabilization of Forensic Science

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Science and Medicine, 2015
This paper is concerned with the contribution of forensic science to the legal process by helping reduce uncertainty. Although it is now widely accepted that uncertainty should be handled by probability because it is a safeguard against incoherent ...

Some Reliability Properties of Extropy and its Related Measures Using Quantile Function

open access: yesStatistica, 2021
Extropy is a recent addition to the family of information measures as a complementary dual of Shannon entropy, to measure the uncertainty contained in a probability distribution of a random variable.

Multiple perspectives on the concept of conditional probability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Conditional probability is a key to the subjectivist theory of probability; however, it plays a subsidiary role in the usual conception of probability where its counterpart, namely independence is of basic importance.

The role of statistics in data-centric engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging eld of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges.

Estimation of Temperature and Associated Uncertainty from Fiber-Optic Raman-Spectrum Distributed Temperature Sensing

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) systems can be used to estimate the temperature along optic fibers of several kilometers at a sub-meter interval. DTS systems function by shooting laser pulses through a fiber and measuring its backscatter intensity ...
