The Monte-Carlo Method
... in many rejections and inadequate sampling of the distribution near the peak. One way the efficiency of the method can be improved is to use regions more general than boxes on which to generate the uniform variates. One approach is to sample in the area under the graph of another function f (x), wit ...

Some Remarks on Rao and Lovric`s `Testing Point Null Hypothesis

Thus, we can sample infinitely often and we will in fact never sample the singleton {a}, almost surely. This argument immediately generalizes to any countable set, which is ...

... Let’s try to figure out what the probability of X = 5 is, in our uniform example. We know how to calculate the probability of intervals, so let’s try to get it as a limit of intervals around 5. Pr (4 ≤ X ≤ 6) = F (6) − F (4) = 0.2 Pr (4.5 ≤ X ≤ 5.5) = F (5.5) − F (4.5) = 0.1 Pr (4.95 ≤ X ≤ 5.05) = F ...

... The probability of getting a red ball (S) on the first draw is P(S)=10/20. Suppose you get a S on draw one. Then on draw 2, P(S)=9/19. On the other hand if you get a F on draw one the probability of getting a S on draw 2 is P(S)=10/19. So p and q change from trail to trial. Also the probability a g ...

Estimates for probabilities of independent events

In particular, we discuss the connection between the sum of the probabilities of these events and the probability of their union. Naturally, the results can be formulated both i ...

Infinite monkey theorem
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.In this context, ""almost surely"" is a mathematical term with a precise meaning, and the ""monkey"" is not an actual monkey, but a metaphor for an abstract device that produces an endless random sequence of letters and symbols. One of the earliest instances of the use of the ""monkey metaphor"" is that of French mathematician Émile Borel in 1913, but the first instance may be even earlier. The relevance of the theorem is questionable—the probability of a universe full of monkeys typing a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is so tiny that the chance of it occurring during a period of time hundreds of thousands of orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe is extremely low (but technically not zero). It should also be noted that real monkeys don't produce uniformly random output, which means that an actual monkey hitting keys for an infinite amount of time has no statistical certainty of ever producing any given text.Variants of the theorem include multiple and even infinitely many typists, and the target text varies between an entire library and a single sentence. The history of these statements can be traced back to Aristotle's On Generation and Corruption and Cicero's De natura deorum (On the Nature of the Gods), through Blaise Pascal and Jonathan Swift, and finally to modern statements with their iconic simians and typewriters. In the early 20th century, Émile Borel and Arthur Eddington used the theorem to illustrate the timescales implicit in the foundations of statistical mechanics.
