Discrete probability distribution

metric) function. A common assumption in all of the coverage control results is that the distribution of sensory information in the environment is known apriori by all agents. The proposed cooperative area coverage control framework is based on two interdependent tasks: (i) online learning of the coverage area and storing of the data in the form of a “probability map”; and (ii) utilization of the probability map (which is used as a search map) and other data collected to compute online a positional

covariance kernel on D with iii eigen values λi and eigen vectors ei(x) and ξi ∼ N(0,1). 13 The goal is to derive the posterior distribution of κ’s or equivalently ξi’s given observation and the model. Posterior for κ The posterior for κ can be written as Π(κ|Y ) = p(Y |κ)π(κ) where p(Y |K) is the likelihood of Y given κ which is a normal distribution for the above error distribution assumption around the solution K(u,κ) from the pde. This posterior is not closed form and Metropolis-Hastings MCMC sampling

Define American Call/Put option 10 pts Answer Options allow investors to hedge against risk. If one expects stock prices to rise, then he/she may like to invest in stocks. However, buying stocks also entails risk because of price fluctuation. The risk will be potentially large in case price falls to zero. In order to avoid

It is given that the repair time follows Repair Time (days) Probability 1. .20 2. .45 3. .25 4. .10 ----- 1.00 To generate a random number from the above distribution, we use the following

Thus, each topic z in TRM is not only associated with a word distribution ϕz, but also with a distribu- tion over time ψz. This design enables ϕz and ψz to be mutually influenced and enhanced during the topic discovery process, facilitating the clustering of the words of POIs with similar temporal patterns into the same topic with high probability. To integrate the check-in time information to the topic discovery process, we employ the widely adopted discretization

safety and maintaining rapid accrual through a reliable practical dose finding design [1]. A phase I cancer trial aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), defined as the dose for which the probability of toxicity is closest to a prespecified target toxicity rate p_T (the toxicity probability of the true MTD). Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is a side effect of treatments that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose. In other words, MTD is the highest

The engineering component of the Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model predicts wind and rain damage to a variety of modelled building configurations in an effort to model hurricane losses. The program uses a Monte Carlo approach to probabilistically simulating damage to the exterior components of the models, but currently assigns costs to the damaged components deterministically. This implementation does not capture variations in component costs and building values. This paper investigates replacing

The manager of an integrated energy and environmental management system is responsible for allocating carbon-emission treatment amount to each carbon emitter within a multi-period horizon. In a regional energy system, there are some limitations for total emission amounts set up by the emission constraints in certain periods. If carbon emission is larger than the emission target, the over-limit part should be treated by carbon mitigation facilities. In period k, carbon emission amounts should be no
