This paper describes the frequency and number of Sphyrion laevigatum in the skin of Genypterus blacodes, an important economic resource in Chile. The analysis of a spatial distribution model indicated that the parasites tended to cluster. Variations in the number of parasites per host could be described by a negative binomial distribution. The maximum number of parasites observed per host was two.

We give error bounds which demonstrate optimal rates of convergence in the CLT for the total covered volume and the number of isolated shapes, for germ-grain models with fixed grain radius over a binomial point process of n points in a toroidal spatial region of volume n. The proof is based on Stein’s method via size-biased couplings. 1 Department of Mathematics, University of Southern Californ...

An analogue of Talagrand’s convex distance for binomial and Poisson point processes is defined. A corresponding large deviation inequality is proved.

This note introduces a greedy walk on Poisson and Binomial processes which is a close relative to the well known greedy server model. Some open problems are presented.

This work studies the temporal imbalance that processes experience when operating on a modern multicore cluster, and develops hierarchical algorithms that tolerate this imbalance. A micro-benchmark is used to investigate the nature of process imbalance with perfectly balanced workloads, and understand the nature of interversus intra-node imbalance. These insights are then used to develop imbala...

On the basis of a recently introduced generalization of the negative binomial distribution the influence of higher-order perturbative QCD effects on multiplicity fluctuations are studied for deep inelastic e + p scattering at HERA energies. It is found that the multiplicity distributions measured by the H1 Collaboration indicate violation of infinite divisibility in agreement with pQCD calculat...

Since the introduction of binomial state as an intermediate state, di erent intermediate states have been proposed. Di erent nonclassical e ects have also been reported in these intermediate states. But till now higher order antibunching or higher order subpoissonian photon statistics is predicted only in one type of intermediate state, namely shadowed negative binomial state. Recently we have ...
