In this lesson, you'll look at a way to represent discrete distributions - the probability mass function (PMF), which maps from each value to its probability. A probability mass function (PMF), ...

In this lesson we shall look at another way to represent a distribution - a probability mass function (pmf), which maps from each value to its probability. Recall that PMFs are exclusive to discrete ...

We toss an unbiased coin four times, and choose \(\Omega=\{H,T\}^4\) for our sample space. We write \(X\) for the number of heads in the first three tosses and \(Y\) for the number of heads in the ...

Abstract: Estimating the probability mass function (PMF) of a set of discrete random variables using a low-rank model for the PMF tensor has recently gained much attention. However, detecting the rank ...

Colorblindness is caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. Since men have only one X chromosome, if a man carries the colorblindness allele (gene form), he will have the trait. Women have two X ...

Abstract: We consider the classical problem of missing-mass estimation, which deals with estimating the total probability of unseen elements in a sample. The missing-mass estimation problem has ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

In the board game "Chick-a-Pig," a cow that sits in the center of the board and creates an obstacle for players attempting to move across the board. On each turen, a player rolls a die to determine ...
