Probability and statistics [PDF]
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1934 The definition of the term “probability” is almost as illusive as that of the term “electricity.” Much as the average person knows that the effect of an electric current is to produce certain phenomena with which he is familiar, so he understands in a general manner what is implied by the words “the probability that an event will take place.” The term ...

An Essay on the Double Nature of the Probability [PDF]
, 2012 Classical statistics and Bayesian statistics refer to the frequentist and subjective theories of probability respectively. Von Mises and De Finetti, who authored those conceptualizations, provide interpretations of the probability that appear ...

Statistics and Probability [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010 This ourse constitutes a brief introduction to probability applications in high energy physis. First the mathematical tools related to the diferent probability conepts are introduced. The probability distributions which are commonly used in high energy physics and their characteristics are then shown and commented.

Quantum Coins, Dice and Children: Probability and Quantum Statistics
, 2000 We discuss counterintuitive aspects of probabilities for systems of identical particles obeying quantum statistics. Quantum coins and children (two level systems) and quantum dice (many level systems) are used as examples.

Survival probability and order statistics of diffusion on disordered media
, 2002 We investigate the first passage time t_{j,N} to a given chemical or Euclidean distance of the first j of a set of N>>1 independent random walkers all initially placed on a site of a disordered medium.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
