More Complete Probability Density Functions for Fading in Mobile Communications

This paper presents new envelope PDF's (probability density functions) that describe smallscale, local area fading experienced by narrowband wireless receivers. The paper develops novel PDF's that describe the local area fading of two coherent multipath components in the presence of other diffuse propagating waves. Analytical expressions, graphical analysis, and applicability of the PDF's are p...

On Class-probability Estimates and Cost-sensitive Evaluation of Classiiers 1. Class-probability Estimates

This paper addresses two cost-sensitive learning methodology issues. First, we ask the question of whether Bagging is always an appropriate procedure to compute accurate class-probability estimates for cost-sensitive classiication. Second, we will point the reader to a potential source of erroneous results in the most common procedure of evaluating cost-sensitive classiiers when the real miscla...

Probability Generating Functions for Sattolo’s Algorithm

In 1986 S. Sattolo introduced a simple algorithm for uniform random generation of cyclic permutations on a fixed number of symbols. Recently, H. Prodinger analysed two important random variables associated with the algorithm, and found their mean and variance. H. Mahmoud extended Prodinger’s analysis by finding limit laws for the same two random variables.The present article, starting from the ...
