Upper and lower probabilities induced by a fuzzy random variable
We review two existing interpretations of fuzzy random variables. In the first one, the fuzzy random variable is viewed as a linguistic random variable. In the second case, it re...

On the distribution of the number stranded in bulk-arrival, bulk-service queues of the M/G/1 form
Bulk-arrival queues with single servers that provide bulk service are widespread in the real world, e.g., elevators in buildings, people-movers in amusement parks, air-cargo deliv...

Sub-Gaussian Tails for the Number of Triangles in G( n, p)
Let X be the random variable that counts the number of triangles in the binomial random graph G(n, p). We show that for some positive constant c, the probability that X deviates f...

Approximations of upper and lower probabilities by measurable selections
A random set can be regarded as the result of the imprecise observation of a random variable. Following this interpretation, we study to which extent the upper and lower probabili...

Formulas for approximating pseudo-Boolean random variables
We consider {0, 1}n as a sample space with a probability measure on it, thus making pseudo-Boolean functions into random variables. We then derive explicit formulas for approximat...

Estimation in Gaussian Noise: Properties of the Minimum Mean-Square Error
Consider the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of estimating an arbitrary random variable from its observation contaminated by Gaussian noise. The MMSE can be regarded as a function...

Comparing and Combining Profiles
How much do two profiles of the same program differ? When has a profile changed enough to warrant reexamination of the profiled program? And how should two or more profiles be com...

Optimality conditions in portfolio analysis with general deviation measures
Optimality conditions are derived for problems of minimizing a general measure of deviation of a random variable, with special attention to situations where the random variable cou...
