Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Covariance: a measure of the direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Discrete ...

A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . . For example, stock prices are discrete random variables, ...

In a number of situations we are faced with the problem of determining efficient estimates of the mean and variance of a distribution specified by (i) a non-zero probability that the variable assumes ...

Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Apr., 1970), pp. 99-113 (15 pages) Let ξn be the maximum of a set of n independent random variables with common distribution function F whose support ...

This is a graduate-level course focused on techniques and models in modern discrete probability. Topics include: the first and second moment methods, Chernoff bounds and large deviations, martingales, ...
