Naively, we can simulate the trajectory of the reaction chamber by discretizing time, then simulate each time-step. However, there might be long stretches of time where no reaction occurs. The Gillespie algorithm samples a random waiting time until some reaction occurs, then take another random sample to decide which reaction has occurred.
The first two population distribution parameters and are usually characterized as location and scale parameters, while the remaining parameter(s), if any, are characterized as shape parameters, e.g. skewness and kurtosis parameters, although the model may be applied more generally to the parameters of any population distribution with up to four ...
Animation showing the effects of a scale parameter on a probability distribution supported on the positive real line. Effect of a scale parameter over a mixture of two normal probability distributions. If the probability density exists for all values of the complete parameter set, then the density (as a function of the scale parameter only ...
The forward algorithm, in the context of a hidden Markov model (HMM), is used to calculate a 'belief state': the probability of a state at a certain time, given the history of evidence. The process is also known as filtering .
A Pearson density p is defined to be any valid solution to the differential equation (cf. Pearson 1895, p. 381) ′ () + + + + = ()with: =, = = +, =. According to Ord, [3] Pearson devised the underlying form of Equation (1) on the basis of, firstly, the formula for the derivative of the logarithm of the density function of the normal distribution (which gives a linear function) and, secondly ...
The following shows how to implement a location–scale family in a statistical package or programming environment where only functions for the "standard" version of a distribution are available. It is designed for R but should generalize to any language and library.
An estimate of the uncertainty in the first and second case can be obtained with the binomial probability distribution using for example the probability of exceedance Pe (i.e. the chance that the event X is larger than a reference value Xr of X) and the probability of non-exceedance Pn (i.e. the chance that the event X is smaller than or equal ...
In mathematics and statistics, a probability vector or stochastic vector is a vector with non-negative entries that add up to one.. The positions (indices) of a probability vector represent the possible outcomes of a discrete random variable, and the vector gives us the probability mass function of that random variable, which is the standard way of characterizing a discrete probability ...
