Common Probability Patterns Arise from Simple Invariances
Abstract: Shift and stretch invariance lead to the exponential-Boltzmann probability distribution. Rotational invariance generates the Gaussian distribution. Particular scaling relations transform the canonical exponential and Gaussian patterns into the variety of commonly observed patterns. The scaling relations themselves arise from the fundamental invariances of shift, stretch and rotation, ...
متن کاملComplex genetic patterns in human arise from a simple range-expansion model over continental landmasses
Although it is generally accepted that geography is a major factor shaping human genetic differentiation, it is still disputed how much of this differentiation is a result of a simple process of isolation-by-distance, and if there are factors generating distinct clusters of genetic similarity. We address this question using a geographically explicit simulation framework coupled with an Approxim...
متن کاملFrom Probability Distributions to Common Secrets
This thesis investigates generating a common secret between two entities by extracting a stream of random numbers obtained from measurements of the same process. The creation of the secret is based on the algorithm of Ueli Maurer described in [1], and is independent of the fact that the communication channel between the two entities may be listened to by an adversary. I implement the extraction...
متن کاملCommon probability distributions
For each distribution, I give the name of the distribution along with one or two parameters and indicate whether it is a discrete distribution or a continuous one. Then I describe an example interpretation for a random variable X having that distribution. Each discrete distribution is determined by a probability mass function f which gives the probabilities for the various outcomes, so that f(x...
متن کاملSimple likelihood and probability
SUMMARY Linkage analysis using all available pedigree data can be extremely complicated. We point out that by suitably restricting the data to the most informative nuclear families, we may be able to make a simple analysis for linkage between two loci without too much loss of information. The method can be readily extended to cases of heterogeneity, where there may be more than one cause of the...
