    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 17 January 2025. Observation that in many real-life datasets, the leading digit is likely to be small For the unrelated adage, see Benford's law of controversy. The distribution of first digits, according to Benford's law. Each bar represents a digit, and the height of the bar is the percentage of ...

  3. Probabilistic number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_number_theory

    In mathematics, Probabilistic number theory is a subfield of number theory, which explicitly uses probability to answer questions about the integers and integer-valued functions. One basic idea underlying it is that different prime numbers are, in some serious sense, like independent random variables. This however is not an idea that has a ...

    Let n be very large and consider a random graph G on n vertices, where every edge in G exists with probability p = n 1/g −1. We show that with positive probability, G satisfies the following two properties: Property 1. G contains at most n/2 cycles of length less than g. Proof. Let X be the number cycles of length less than g.

  5. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    Each row shows the state evolving until it repeats. The top row shows a generator with m = 9, a = 2, c = 0, and a seed of 1, which produces a cycle of length 6. The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8].

    For example, squaring the number "1111" yields "1234321", which can be written as "01234321", an 8-digit number being the square of a 4-digit number. This gives "2343" as the "random" number. Repeating this procedure gives "4896" as the next result, and so on. Von Neumann used 10 digit numbers, but the process was the same.

  7. Algebra of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_random_variables

    The measurable space and the probability measure arise from the random variables and expectations by means of well-known representation theorems of analysis. One of the important features of the algebraic approach is that apparently infinite-dimensional probability distributions are not harder to formalize than finite-dimensional ones.

    If X is a discrete random variable taking values x in the non-negative integers {0,1, ...}, then the probability generating function of X is defined as [1] = ⁡ = = (),where is the probability mass function of .
