Estimating random variables from random sparse observations
Let X1, . . . , Xn be a collection of iid discrete random variables, and Y1, . . . , Ym a set of noisy observations of such variables. Assume each observation Ya to be a random function of some a random subset of the Xi’s, and consider the conditional distribution of Xi given the observations, namely μi(xi) ≡ P{Xi = xi|Y } (a posteriori probability). We establish a general decoupling principle ...
full textEstimating Sums of Independent Random Variables
The paper deals with a problem proposed by Uriel Feige in 2005: if X1, . . . , Xn is a set of independent nonnegative random variables with expectations equal to 1, is it true that P ( ∑n i=1 Xi < n + 1) > 1 e ? He proved that P ( ∑n i=1Xi < n + 1) > 1 13 . In this paper we prove that infimum of the P ( ∑n i=1Xi < n + 1) can be achieved when all random variables have only two possible values, a...
full textMoment-based minimax stopping functions for sequences of random variables
Minimax-optimal stopping times and minimax (worst-case) distributions are found for the problem of stopping a sequence of uniformly bounded independent random variables, when only the means and! or variances are known, in contrast to the classical setting where the complete joint distributions of the random variables are known. Results are obtained for both the independent and i.i.d. cases, wit...
full textOn the Ratio of Rice Random Variables
The ratio of independent random variables arises in many applied problems. In this article, the distribution of the ratio X/Y is studied, when X and Y are independent Rice random variables. Ratios of such random variable have extensive applications in the analysis of noises of communication systems. The exact forms of probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) a...
full textassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
