Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

Introduction to probability, random processes and basic statistical methods to address the random nature of signals and systems that engineers analyze, characterize and apply in their designs. It ...

Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Covariance: a measure of the direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Discrete ...

Provides a one-semester course in probability and statistics with applications in the engineering sciences. Probability of events, discrete and continuous random variables cumulative distribution, ...

In the present paper a uniform asymptotic series is derived for the probability distribution of the sum of a large number of independent random variables. In contrast to the usual Edgeworth-type ...

Trees of Polya urns are used to generate sequences of exchangeable random variables. By a theorem of de Finetti each such sequence is a mixture of independent, identically distributed variables and ...
