Random split of the interval [0,1]

B. Kopociński (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define two splitting procedures of the interval [0,1], one using uniformly distributed points on the chosen piece and the other splitting a piece in half. We also define two procedures for choosing the piece to be split; one chooses a piece with a probability proportional to its length and the other chooses each piece with equal probability. We analyse the probability distribution of the lengths of the pieces arising from these procedures.

On random split of the segment

Milena Bieniek, Dominik Szynal (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a partition of the interval [0,1] by two partition procedures. In the first a chosen piece of [0,1] is split into halves, in the second it is split by uniformly distributed points. Initially, the interval [0,1] is divided either into halves or by a uniformly distributed random variable. Next a piece to be split is chosen either with probability equal to its length or each piece is chosen with equal probability, and then the chosen piece is split by one of the above procedures....

Some properties and applications of probability distributions based on MacDonald function

Oldřich Kropáč (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

In the paper the basic analytical properties of the MacDonald function (the modified Bessel function of the second kind) are summarized and the properties of some subclasses of distribution functions based on MacDonald function, especially of the types x n K n ( x ) , x 0 , x n K n ( x x ) , x 𝐑 and x n + 1 K n ( x ) , x 0 are discussed. The distribution functions mentioned are useful for analytical modelling of composed (mixed) distributions, especially for products of random variables having distributions of the exponential type. Extensive and...

An extended problem to Bertrand's paradox

Mostafa K. Ardakani, Shaun S. Wulff (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Bertrand's paradox is a longstanding problem within the classical interpretation of probability theory. The solutions 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 were proposed using three different approaches to model the problem. In this article, an extended problem, of which Bertrand's paradox is a special case, is proposed and solved. For the special case, it is shown that the corresponding solution is 1/3. Moreover, the reasons of inconsistency are discussed and a proper modeling approach is determined by...
