Estimating Fatigue Curves With the Random Fatigue-Limit Model

In a fatigue-limit model, units tested below the fatigue limit (also known as the threshold stress) theoretically will never fail. This article uses a random fatigue-limit model to describe (a) the dependence of fatigue life on the stress level, (b) the variation in fatigue life, and (c) the unit-to-unit variation in the fatigue limit. We t the model to actual fatigue data sets by maximum likel...

Efficient Simulation of a Random Knockout Tournament

We consider the problem of using simulation to efficiently estimate the win probabilities for participants in a general random knockout tournament. Both of our proposed estimators, one based on the notion of “observed survivals” and the other based on conditional expectation and post-stratification, are highly effective in terms of variance reduction when compared to the raw simulation estimato...

L S Penrose's limit theorem: Tests by simulation

L S Penrose’s Limit Theorem – which is implicit in Penrose [7, p. 72] and for which he gave no rigorous proof – says that, in simple weighted voting games, if the number of voters increases indefinitely and the relative quota is pegged, then – under certain conditions – the ratio between the voting powers of any two voters converges to the ratio between their weights. Lindner and Machover [4] p...
