Probabilistic arithmetic. I. Numerical methods for calculating convolutions and dependency bounds
Probabilistic arithmetic involves the calculation of the distribution of arithmetic functions of random variables. This work on probabilistic arithmetic began as an investigation into the possibility o f adapting existing numerical procedures (developal for fixed numbers) to handle random variables (by replacing the basic operations of arithmetic by the appropriate convolutions). The general id...
متن کاملOn Some Arithmetic Convolutions
0. Introduction. In this paper we first review some of the known arithmetical convolutions with particular reference to a class of convolutions which may be called Lehmer's ~-products. These products are general enough to include as special cases the well known Dirichlet and unitary products and other Narkiewicz-type products. We indicate a few new cases of ~-products, and in particular study i...
متن کاملProbabilistic Arithmetic
This thesis develops the idea of probabilistic arithmetic. The aim is to replace arithmetic operations on numbers with arithmetic operations on random variables. Specifically, we are interested in numerical methods of calculating convolutions of probability distributions. The long-term goal is to be able to handle random prob lems (such as the determination of the distribution of the roots of ...

متن کاملBayesian Probabilistic Numerical Methods
The emergent field of probabilistic numerics has thus far lacked rigorous statistical principals. This paper establishes Bayesian probabilistic numerical methods as those which can be cast as solutions to certain Bayesian inverse problems, albeit problems that are non-standard. This allows us to establish general conditions under which Bayesian probabilistic numerical methods are well-defined, ...
