We associate a statistical vector to a trace and a geometrical embedding to a Markov Decision Process, based on a distance on words, and study basic Membership and Equivalence problems. The Membership problem for a trace w and a Markov Decision Process S decides if there exists a strategy on S which generates with high probability traces close to w. We prove that Membership of a trace is testab...

one of the important factors in making financial decisions is perceptual biases. they influence decisions at the time of exchanging stocks. the present research means to identify these common biases among investors and show its relation with their personality. doing this research, the statistic society is considered unlimited thus a random group of 200 investors from tehran stock exchange has b...

The article touches upon the problem of necessity to change pedagogical methods and technologies in high school education that are determined by changes modern society. authors point out up-to-date society is deeply plunged into digital reality being used cannot meet requirements present. In this regard speculate application technologies, namely laboratory facilities virtual training process te...

In this paper we study U-statistics with side information incorporated using the method of empirical likelihood. Some basic properties of the proposed statistics are investigated. We find that by implementing the side information properly, the proposed U-statistics can have smaller asymptotic variance than the existing U-statistics in the literature. The proposed U-statistics can achieve asympt...

With the continuous increase of Internet link speed and the number of flows, flow statistics has become a challenging task due to the demanding requirements on both memory size and memory bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a DIScount COunting (DISCO) method, which is designed for both flow size and flow bytes counting. For each incoming packet, DISCO increases the corresponding counter assign...

In the case of two signals with independent pairs of observations (x n ,y n ) a statistic to estimate the variance of the histogram based mutual information estimator has been derived earlier. We present such a statistic for dependent pairs. To derive this statistic it is necessary to avail of a reliable statistic to estimate the variance of the sample mean in case of dependent observations. We...

background : there is a broad consensus among health policy-makers that smoking has a significant impact on both heath system and society. the purpose of this study was to estimate the economic burden of major cancer deaths caused by smoking in iran in 2012. methods : number of major cancer deaths due to smoking by sex and age groups in 2012 was obtained from globcan database. the life expectan...
