Relative frequencies
... So relative frequency is not countably additive. 2 Indeed, its domain of definition is not closed under countable unions, and so is not a Borel field. For let B be an event whose relative frequency does not tend to a limit at all. Let the events B(n) be as follows: B(n) =A(n) if B happens on the nth ...

THE CIRCULAR LAW PROOF OF THE REPLACEMENT PRINCIPLE by ZHIWEI TANG
... each entry aij of An is an independently identically distributed copy of a single random variable with mean 0 and variance 1. Numerical evidence reveals that the eigenvalues of such a matrix appear to distribute themselves uniformly on the unit disk in the limit n → ∞. (see Figure 2) Conjecture 1.2 ...

... Suppose that A and B are dependent events and A has apriori probability of P(A ) . How does Knowing that B has occurred affect the probability of A? The new probability can be computed based on Bayes’ Theorm. Bayes’ Theorm shows how to incorporate the knowledege about B’s occuring to calcula ...

This process is called variance reduction, since b is statistical. Reducing the variance of A b reduces the most of ...

Probability 2 Recall: Outcome Event If all outcomes are equally likely
... In two independent experiments, the probability of getting a particular outcome in the first and a particular outcome in the second is the product of the two probabilities. Event A in first experiment has probability Pr(A). Event B in second experiment has probability Pr(B). Pr(A and B) = Pr(A)*Pr(B ...

Catalyst-assisted Probabilistic Entanglement Transformation
... This paper is organized as follows. In Section II, we consider briefly probabilistic entanglement transformations without the aid of catalysis. We first provide a simple connection between probabilistic transformations and deterministic ones, which is helpful in realizing probabilistic transformatio ...
