A continuous random variable is a type of variable that can take on any value within a given range. Unlike discrete random variables, which have a countable number of outcomes, continuous random ...

Amusement park patrons, wanting to go on a log ride, might not have to wait in line at all, they might have to wait for hours, or the wait could be anywhere in between. For a random log rider, the ...

Introduction to probability, random processes and basic statistical methods to address the random nature of signals and systems that engineers analyze, characterize and apply in their designs. It ...

Abstract: In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a random variable and develop the procedures for characterizing random variables, including the cumulative distribution function, as well as the ...

Previously suggested methods for constructing confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions have been based on the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for an empirical distribution function.

Fuzzy statistics and random variables represent a progressive fusion of traditional probability theory with the principles of fuzzy logic, enabling the treatment of imprecision and vagueness inherent ...

Dichotomizing a continuous outcome variable casts that variable in traditional epidemiologic terms (that is, disease, no disease). One consequence is overall reduced statistical power. A more ...
