Variable-interval escape from stimuli accompanied by shocks1

Escape from shock versus escape from shock accompanied by a visual stimulus in rats.

Two groups of 15 rats each were trained in a shuttle box to escape foot-shock either unsignalled or presented in compound with a visual cue: darkness. The visual cue presented in shock compartment amplifies the behavioral tendency actually prevailing in the response repertory of the rat. During the 1st session the compound enhanced the species-specific flight resulting in shortening of the rat'...

Escape of a Uniform Random Walk from an Interval

We study the first-passage properties of a random walk in the unit interval in which the length of a single step is uniformly distributed over the finite range [−a, a]. For a of the order of one, the exit probabilities to each edge of the interval and the exit time from the interval exhibit anomalous properties stemming from the change in the minimum number of steps to escape the interval as a ...

Computing tolerance interval for binomial random variable

Tolerance interval is a random interval that contains a proportion of the population with a determined confidence level and is applied in many application fields such as reliability and quality control. In this educational paper, we investigate different methods for computing tolerance interval for the binomial random variable using the package Tolerance in statistical software R. 

Variable-precision, interval arithmetic coprocessors

This chapter presents the design and analysis of variable-precision, interval arithmetic processors. The processors give the user the ability to specify the precision of the computation, determine the accuracy of the results, and recompute inaccurate results with higher precision. The processors support a wide variety of arithmetic operations on variable-precision oating point numbers and inter...
