Papoulis contributed in the areas of signal processing, communications, and signal and system theory. His classic book Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes [4] is used as a textbook in many graduate-level probability courses in electrical engineering departments all over the world.
The Optimum "L" filter (also known as a Legendre–Papoulis filter) was proposed by Athanasios Papoulis in 1958. It has the maximum roll off rate for a given filter order while maintaining a monotonic frequency response .
Graphs of probability P of not observing independent events each of probability p after n Bernoulli trials vs np for various p.Three examples are shown: Blue curve: Throwing a 6-sided die 6 times gives a 33.5% chance that 6 (or any other given number) never turns up; it can be observed that as n increases, the probability of a 1/n-chance event never appearing after n tries rapidly converges to ...
More precisely, a real-valued continuous-time stochastic process with a probability space (,,) is separable if its index set has a dense countable subset and there is a set of probability zero, so () =, such that for every open set and every closed set = (,), the two events {} and {} differ from each other at most on a subset of .
The probability measure thus defined is known as the Binomial distribution. As we can see from the above formula that, if n=1, the Binomial distribution will turn into a Bernoulli distribution . So we can know that the Bernoulli distribution is exactly a special case of Binomial distribution when n equals to 1.
Probability distribution of the length of the longest cycle of a random permutation of the numbers 1 to 100. The green area corresponds to the survival probability of the prisoners. In the initial problem, the 100 prisoners are successful if the longest cycle of the permutation has a length of at most 50.
In probability theory, a product-form solution is a particularly efficient form of solution for determining some metric of a system with distinct sub-components, where the metric for the collection of components can be written as a product of the metric across the different components.
Graphs of probabilities of getting the best candidate (red circles) from n applications, and k/n (blue crosses) where k is the sample size. The secretary problem demonstrates a scenario involving optimal stopping theory [1] [2] that is studied extensively in the fields of applied probability, statistics, and decision theory.
