  2. Principle of maximum caliber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_maximum_caliber

    The principle of maximum caliber (MaxCal) or maximum path entropy principle, suggested by E. T. Jaynes, [1] can be considered as a generalization of the principle of maximum entropy. It postulates that the most unbiased probability distribution of paths is the one that maximizes their Shannon entropy. This entropy of paths is sometimes called ...

  3. Maximal entropy random walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_Entropy_Random_Walk

    To practically use such long sequences, after 1 we have to use 0, but there remains a freedom of choosing the probability of 0 after 0. Let us denote this probability by , then entropy coding would allow encoding a message using this chosen probability distribution. The stationary probability distribution of symbols for a given turns out to be

  4. Watts–Strogatz model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts–Strogatz_model

    Watts–Strogatz small-world model generated by igraph and visualized by Cytoscape 2.5. 100 nodes. The Watts–Strogatz model is a random graph generation model that produces graphs with small-world properties, including short average path lengths and high clustering.

  5. Random graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_graph

    With 0 ≤ M ≤ N, G(n,M) has () elements and every element occurs with probability / (). [3] The G ( n , M ) model can be viewed as a snapshot at a particular time ( M ) of the random graph process G ~ n {\displaystyle {\tilde {G}}_{n}} , a stochastic process that starts with n vertices and no edges, and at each step adds one new edge chosen ...

  6. Transition path sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_path_sampling

    Molecular dynamics generates a path as a set of (r t, p t) at discrete times t in [0,T] where T is the length of the path. For a transition from A to B, (r 0, p 0) is in A, and (r T, p T) is in B. One of the path times is chosen at random, the momenta p are modified slightly into p + δp, where δp is a random perturbation consistent with ...

  7. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random...

    However, for a given sequence {X n} which converges in distribution to X 0 it is always possible to find a new probability space (Ω, F, P) and random variables {Y n, n = 0, 1, ...} defined on it such that Y n is equal in distribution to X n for each n0, and Y n converges to Y 0 almost surely. [11] [12] If for all ε > 0,

  8. Network entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_entropy

    According to a 2018 publication by Zenil et al. there are several formulations by which to calculate network entropy and, as a rule, they all require a particular property of the graph to be focused, such as the adjacency matrix, degree sequence, degree distribution or number of bifurcations, what might lead to values of entropy that aren't invariant to the chosen network description.

  9. Mean free path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_free_path

    whose solution is known as Beer–Lambert law and has the form = /, where x is the distance traveled by the beam through the target, and I 0 is the beam intensity before it entered the target; ℓ is called the mean free path because it equals the mean distance traveled by a beam particle before being stopped.
