On the role of Bernoulli distribution in cosmology

چکیده

Cosmological observations suggest that the transition scale to homogeneity is not smaller than' (200−300)h−1 Mpc (h is the Hubble parameter in units 100 km s−1 Mpc−1), and that in addition this transition scale seems to decrease with increasing redshift. Nevertheless, these claims are highly uncertain, and call for further observational tests allowing to verify the homogeneity even on scales' (400−1000)h−1 Mpc for different redshifts. The key ideas of such a test are presented. Simultaneous pencil beam surveys are proposed to be done, and then the randomness of observed objects should be verified by the so called ”Bernoulli test”. The method is in fact a generalization of the usual counts-in-cells analysis, where the Poisson distribution is substituted by the Bernoulli distribution. Hence, it is shown that this distribution may have a great importance in cosmology.

Thinking Towards Peace: On Triades and New Cosmology of the Mesocosm

This paper has three parts. In the first part, we bring to the fore an ancient Vedic concept of mesocosm and discuss its religious and cosmic significance within Indian religion. This part also brings an initial approach towards philosophy of spirituality by focusing on the role of breath within the very concept of mesocosm. In the second part, based on our preliminary analysis, we present an o...

Estimation of parameter of proportion in Binomial Distribution Using Adjusted Prior Distribution

Historically, various methods were suggested for the estimation of Bernoulli and Binomial distributions parameter. One of the suggested methods is the Bayesian method, which is based on employing prior distribution. Their sound selection on parameter space play a crucial role in reducing posterior Bayesian estimator error. At times, large scale of the parametric changes on parameter space bring...

Factor analysis for Bernoulli variables and its application in the survey of the high school mathematics textbooks in Iran.

Nowadays factor analysis has been extended greatly, and one of its applications is to analysis the attributes which are not measurable directly. While the response variable has a Bernoulli distribution, using factor analysis method for continuous quantities leads to invalid and misleading results. Factor analysis for Bernoulli response variable base on Logit model is developed in this paper ...
