A probability distribution of a random variable describes how the probabilities are distributed over the possible values of the random variable. A probability distribution shows the likelihood of ...

Interest Rate Probability Distributions Implied by Derivatives Prices is a daily measure of the distribution of future short-term interest rates, calculated from prices of fixed-income derivatives ...

Continuous-variable quantum cryptography has emerged as a significant branch of quantum cryptography, with continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) at its core. However, compared to ...

Life is uncertain. None of us know what is going to happen. We know little of what has happened in the past or is happening now outside our immediate experience. Uncertainty has been called the ...

Background: Although several strategies for modelling competing events in discrete event simulation (DES) exist, a methodological gap for the event-specific probabilities and distributions (ESPD) ...

This paper focuses on the use of the agglomerate technique to simulate crushable particles in the Discrete Element Method. A novel approach is proposed to design a Weibullian agglomerate by mimicking ...

Abstract: We have proposed a novel sampling method (NS) for controlling step sizes and incorporating Lévy flight to distribution-based discrete particle swarm optimizations (DDP-SOs), which are ...

Quantum information is a powerful technology for increasing the amount of information that can be processed and communicated securely. Using quantum entanglement to securely distribute a secret ...

Abstract: In this work, we propose a novel procedure for deriving a discrete counterpart to a continuous probability distribution. This procedure or, better, this class of procedures, is based on an ...
