Success Run Waiting Times and Fuss-Catalan Numbers
Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2015 We present power series expressions for all the roots of the auxiliary equation of the recurrence relation for the distribution of the waiting time for the first run of k consecutive successes in a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, that is, the ...

Measuring access to primary care appointments: a review of methods
BMC Family Practice, 2003 Background Patient access to primary care appointments is not routinely measured despite the increasing interest in this aspect of practice activity. The generation of standardised data (or benchmarks) for access could inform developments within primary ...

Coupled continuous time random walks in finance [PDF]
, 2006 Continuous time random walks (CTRWs) are used in physics to model anomalous diffusion, by incorporating a random waiting time between particle jumps. In finance, the particle jumps are log-returns and the waiting times measure delay between transactions.

Waiting Time and Expected Waiting Time-Paradoxical Situations
The American Statistician, 1997 Abstract We present a technique for the derivation of the density and its moments in the case of the discrete random variable that expresses the “waiting time” for an n-tuplet (especially in HH, HT, HHH) when a fair coin is flipped. In addition, we present some paradoxical situations that arise from them.

Correlated continuous time random walks [PDF]
, 2008 Continuous time random walks impose a random waiting time before each particle jump. Scaling limits of heavy tailed continuous time random walks are governed by fractional evolution equations. Space-fractional derivatives describe heavy tailed jumps, and

Waiting times of entangled electrons in normal-superconducting junctions [PDF]
, 2015 We consider a normal-superconducting junction in order to investigate the effect of new physical ingredients on waiting times. First, we study the interplay between Andreev and specular scattering at the interface on the distribution of waiting times of ...
