Arithmetic on Random Variables: Squeezing the Envelopes with New Joint Distribution Constraints
Uncertainty is a key issue in decision analysis and other kinds of applications. Researchers have developed a number of approaches to address computations on uncertain quantities....

Rare-event simulation for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments, via simulation. In addition...

Time and Energy Complexity of Distributed Computation of a Class of Functions in Wireless Sensor Networks
We consider a scenario in which a wireless sensor network is formed by randomly deploying n sensors to measure some spatial function over a field, with the objective of computing a...

Bounds on the Distribution of a Sum of Correlated Lognormal Random Variables and Their Application
The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a sum of correlated or even independent lognormal random variables (RVs), which is of wide interest in wireless communications, remain...

Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
