MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHT PROBABILITIES FOR A RANDOM NUMBER OF RANDOM INTENSITY STORMS

Profile and Height of Random Binary Search Trees

The purpose of this article is to survey recent results on distributional properties of random binary search trees. In particular we consider the profile and the height.

Random-number Generators Physical Random-number Generators

R andom numbers have applications in many areas: simulation, game-playing, cryptography, statistical sampling, evaluation of multiple integrals, particletransport calculations, and computations in statistical physics, to name a few. Since each application involves slightly different criteria for judging the “worthiness” of the random numbers generated, a variety of generators have been develope...

Expected Number of Local Maxima of Some Gaussian Random Polnomials

Probabilities and Random Variables

The purpose of probability theory is to model random experiments so that we can draw inferences about them. The fundamental mathematical object is a triple (Ω,F , P ) called the probability space. A probability space is needed for each experiment or collection of experiments that we wish to describe mathematically. The ingredients of a probability space are a sample space Ω, a collection F of e...

Random Projection-Based Anderson-Darling Test for Random Fields

In this paper, we present the Anderson-Darling (AD) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) goodness of fit statistics for stationary and non-stationary random fields. Namely, we adopt an easy-to-apply method based on a random projection of a Hilbert-valued random field onto the real line R, and then, applying the well-known AD and KS goodness of fit tests. We conclude this paper by studying the behavior o...
