A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

Abstract: Consider a system comprising sensors that communicate with a remote estimator by way of a so-called collision channel. Each sensor observes a discrete random variable and must decide whether ...

Roll a die and ask students to identify the random variable. Since a die can only take on values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this is a discrete random variable. Repeat ...

Engineering applications of the fractional Weibull distribution (fWd) are quite limited because a corresponding stochastic process is not yet constituted and completely analyzed of fundamental ...

A random field is the representation of the joint probability distribution for a set of random variables. Markov fields, in particular, have a long standing tradition as the theoretical foundation of ...

Applying the chi-square test for the case of discrete random variables with an infinite number of values (m = ∞). In this case the distribution can be geometric or poisson's, an infinite number of ...
