On a Crucial Problem in Probabilities, and Solution
نویسنده
چکیده
First the crucial but very confidential fact is brought into evidence that – as Kolmogorov himself repeatedly claimed – there exists no abstract theory of probabilities, simply because the factual concept of probability is itself unachieved : it is nowhere specified how to construct the factual probability law to be asserted on a given physical random phenomenon. Then an algorithm of semantic integration is built that permits to identify this factual probability law. This article is dedicated to Giuseppe Longo with whom I had several interesting exchanges concerning probabilities.

Another View of the Classical Problem of Comparing Two Probabilities
The usual calculation of the P-value for the classical problem of comparing probabilities is not always accurate. This issue arose in the context of a legal dispute which depended on when some written material was written in a diary. The problem raises some issues on the foundations of statistical inference.
متن کاملAN EFFICIENT CROSSOVER OPERATOR FOR TRAVELING SALESMAN PROBLEM
Crossover operator plays a crucial role in the efficiency of genetic algorithm (GA). Several crossover operators have been proposed for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP) in the literature. These operators have paid less attention to the characteristics of the traveling salesman problem, and majority of these operators can only generate feasible solutions. In this paper, a crossover ...
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملWeapon scheduling in naval combat systems for maximization of defense capabilities
Air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. In this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. We define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. The optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...
متن کاملTransient Solution of an M/M/1 Variant Working Vacation Queue with Balking
This paper presents the transient solution of a variant working vacation queue with balking. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process and decide to join the queue with probability $b$ or balk with $bar{b} = 1-b$. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server takes working vacation. The service times during regular busy period and working vacation period, and vacation times are assumed ...
