Probability theory forms the mathematical backbone for quantifying uncertainty and random events, providing a rigorous language with which to describe both everyday phenomena and complex scientific ...

Let $\{S_n\}$ be the partial sums of a sequence of independent random variables and let $\{a_n\}$ be a nondecreasing, divergent real sequence. Necessary and sufficient conditions for $\lim ...

A random variable X is N-divisible if it can be decomposed into a random sum of N i.i.d. components, where N is a random variable independent of the components; X is N-stable if the components are ...

The world is full of uncertainty: accidents, storms, unruly financial markets, noisy communications. The world is also full of data. Probabilistic modeling and the related field of statistical ...
