There has not been much work concerning bounds on tail probabilities of discrete distributions+ In the work of Johnson, Kotz, and Kemp @9# , for example, only two ~quite bad! upper bounds on Poisson tail probabilities are quoted+ This article examines several more generally applicable methods to derive lower and upper bounds on tail probabilities of discrete distributions+ Section 2 presents an...

People can create impressive new objects: an architect designs new houses, a cook designs new recipes, and an entrepreneur designs new companies. On the other hand, computers are better known for consistency than creativity, and thus the computational basis of creativity remains mysterious. Recent work suggests that probabilistic generative models can capture how people generate simple types of...

Temporal differences in foraging rhythms, at both daily and seasonal levels, are common among sympatric ant species (Lynch, Balinsky & Vail 1980; Lynch 1981; Herbers 1985, 1989; Lynch, Johnson & Balinsky 1988; Marsh 1988; Fellers 1989; Samways 1990).
