... Now, how can we sell to this single person in the auction game? If the distribution was regular, we could run a second-price auction with reserve price r. There are two reasonable choices for r: • r = 1− , which gives a probability of sale 1 and revenue 1 • r = N − , which gives a probability of sal ...

Introduction to Probability and Linear Algebra
... Probability theory is the branch of mathematics which aids in analyzing random phenomenon. Many real-world phenomena are too complicated to be studied systematically in their entirety. Examples vary from seemingly simple phenomenon like queues at ATMs/banks, vehicular trac to more complicated ones ...

a critical evaluation of comparative probability - Philsci
... this context p(h) is already a conditioned probability with respect to the old evidence. On the other hand, the application of Bayes’ theorem presupposes that the initial probabilities are already known, i.e. first of all the probability of h given the old evidences must be known. Thus we return to ...

Ars Conjectandi
Ars Conjectandi (Latin for The Art of Conjecturing) is a book on combinatorics and mathematical probability written by Jakob Bernoulli and published in 1713, eight years after his death, by his nephew, Niklaus Bernoulli. The seminal work consolidated, apart from many combinatorial topics, many central ideas in probability theory, such as the very first version of the law of large numbers: indeed, it is widely regarded as the founding work of that subject. It also addressed problems that today are classified in the twelvefold way, and added to the subjects; consequently, it has been dubbed an important historical landmark in not only probability but all combinatorics by a plethora of mathematical historians. The importance of this early work had a large impact on both contemporary and later mathematicians; for example, Abraham de Moivre.Bernoulli wrote the text between 1684 and 1689, including the work of mathematicians such as Christiaan Huygens, Gerolamo Cardano, Pierre de Fermat, and Blaise Pascal. He incorporated fundamental combinatorial topics such as his theory of permutations and combinations—the aforementioned problems from the twelvefold way—as well as those more distantly connected to the burgeoning subject: the derivation and properties of the eponymous Bernoulli numbers, for instance. Core topics from probability, such as expected value, were also a significant portion of this important work.
