In this research, a new control policy for the acceptance sampling problem is introduced. Decision is made based on the number of defectives items in an inspected batch. The objective of the model is to find a constant control level that minimizes the total costs, including the cost of rejecting the batch, the cost of inspection and the cost of defective items. The optimization is performed by...

For >40 years, geneticists and science historians have appealed to the tetrad-pollen model as an explanation of the bias toward expectation in Mendel's data, albeit without experimental support. Our experiments demonstrate that pollen sampling during self-pollination in pea conforms to the binomial distribution with no evidence of a tetrad-pollen effect.

The binomial distribution is a well known approximation to the distance spectra of many classes of codes. We derive a lower estimate for the deviation from the binomial approximation.

A single primary user cognitive radio system with multi-user diversity at the secondary users is considered where there is an interference constraint between secondary and primary users. The secondary user with the highest instantaneous SNR is selected for communication from a set of active users which also satisfies the interference constraint. The active number of secondary users is shown to ...

In this paper a univariate discrete distribution, denoted by GIT, is proposed as a generalization of the shifted inverse trinomial distribution, and is formulated as a first-passage time distribution of amodified randomwalk on the half-plane with five transition probabilities. In contrast, the inverse trinomial arises as a random walk on the real line with three transition probabilities. The pr...
