One of the most prominent quasiprobability functions in quantum mechanics is the Wigner function that gives the right marginal probability functions if integrated over position or momentum. Here we ...

Copulas are functions that enable the construction of multivariate probability distributions by binding together univariate marginal distributions. Central to probability theory, they allow ...

Abstract: The marginal maximum entropy criterion has been used to guide recursive partitioning of a continuous sample space. Although the criterion has been successfully applied in pattern discovery ...

This course provides an introduction to probability models including sample spaces, mutually exclusive and independent events, conditional probability and Bayes' Theorem. The named distributions ...

Abstract: This paper introduces the first application of Belief Propagation (BP) in reputation systems. We view the reputation management as an inference problem, and hence, describe the reputation ...
