Why Simple Hash Functions Work: Exploiting the Entropy in a Data
... The classic analysis of Knuth [Knu] gives a tight bound for the insertion time in a hash table with linear probing in terms of the ‘load’ of the table (the number of items divided by the size of the table), under the assumption that an idealized, truly random hash function is used. Resolving a longs ...

Probability box
),steps=500.png?width=300)
A probability box (or p-box) is a characterization of an uncertain number consisting of both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties that is often used in risk analysis or quantitative uncertainty modeling where numerical calculations must be performed. Probability bounds analysis is used to make arithmetic and logical calculations with p-boxes.An example p-box is shown in the figure at right for an uncertain number x consisting of a left (upper) bound and a right (lower) bound on the probability distribution for x. The bounds are coincident for values of x below 0 and above 24. The bounds may have almost any shapes, including step functions, so long as they are monotonically increasing and do not cross each other. A p-box is used to express simultaneously incertitude (epistemic uncertainty), which is represented by the breadth between the left and right edges of the p-box, and variability (aleatory uncertainty), which is represented by the overall slant of the p-box.
