متن کاملISyE 8843 A , Brani Vidakovic Handout 1 1 Probability , Conditional Probability and Bayes Formula
The intuition of chance and probability develops at very early ages.1 However, a formal, precise definition of the probability is elusive. If the experiment can be repeated potentially infinitely many times, then the probability of an event can be defined through relative frequencies. For instance, if we rolled a die repeatedly, we could construct a frequency distribution table showing how many...
متن کاملThe Blanchard (1985) Model of Perpetual Youth
This handout analyzes a way to relax the standard assumption of infinite lifetimes in the Ramsey/Cass-Koopmans growth model. The trick, introduced by Blanchard (1985), is to assume that the economy is populated by agents who face a constant probability of death. Thus, an agent who has lived a thousand years is no more likely to die in the next year than an agent who was born yesterday. Time is ...

متن کاملPredictors of long-term outcome of a smoking cessation programme in primary care.
BACKGROUND It would be helpful for general practitioners to know which smokers are the most or the least likely to achieve long-term cessation, so that efforts in promoting lifestyle changes can be prioritised. AIM To identify predictors of abstinence and assess effectiveness over a two-year follow-up of a smoking cessation programme in routine general practice. DESIGN OF STUDY Quasi-experi...
