Manipulation of Discrete Random Variables with discreteRV
A prominent issue in statistics education is the sometimes large disparity between the theoretical and the computational coursework. discreteRV is an R package for manipulation of discrete random variables which uses clean and familiar syntax similar to the mathematical notation in introductory probability courses. The package offers functions that are simple enough for users with little experi...
متن کاملDiscrete Random Variables over Domains
In this paper we initiate the study of discrete random variables over domains. Our work is inspired by work of Daniele Varacca, who devised indexed valuations as models of probabilistic computation within domain theory. Our approach relies on new results about commutative monoids defined on domains that also allow actions of the non-negative reals. Using our approach, we define two such familie...
متن کاملProbability Models.S2 Discrete Random Variables
For a particular decision situation, the analyst must assign a distribution to each random variable. One method is to perform repeated replications of the experiment. Statistical analysis provides estimates of the probability of each possible occurrence. Another, and often more practical method, is to identify the distribution to be one of the named distributions. It is much easier to estimate ...
متن کاملInference of Entropies of Discrete Random Variables with Unknown Cardinalities
We examine the recently introduced NSB estimator of entropies of severely undersampled discrete variables and devise a procedure for calculating the involved integrals. We discover that the output of the estimator has a well defined limit for large cardinalities of the variables being studied. Thus one can estimate entropies with no a priori assumptions about these cardinalities, and a closed f...
متن کاملEntropy and thinning of discrete random variables
We describe five types of results concerning information and concentration of discrete random variables, and relationships between them. These results are motivated by their counterparts in the continuous case. The results we consider are information theoretic approaches to Poisson approximation, the maximum entropy property of the Poisson distribution, discrete concentration (Poincaré and loga...
