Today we're looking at HyperLogLog, an algorithm that leverages random chance to count the number of distinct items are in a dataset. It does this by tracking the longest run of zeros in a binary ...

Gibbs sampling on the Poisson-Ising model. The Poisson-Ising model is a 2D image of Poisson distributed random variables but has a dependency on their four neighbours. This causes the Poisson random ...

ABSTRACT: Count data is almost always over-dispersed where the variance exceeds the mean. Several count data models have been proposed by researchers but the problem of over-dispersion still remains ...

Abstract: We extend network tomography to traffic flows that are not necessarily Poisson random processes. This assumption has governed the field since its inception in 1996 by Y. Vardi. We allow the ...

NFL scorigamis — a final score combination that has never previously occurred in league history, such as 11-6 or 22-16 — have sparked a cult-like following among football fans and statisticians alike.

Note: The following article contains spoilers about the Netflix series “3 Body Problem.” I first encountered the three-body problem 60 years ago, in a short story called “Placet is a Crazy Place” by ...

Abstract: New lower bounds on the total variation distance between the distribution of a sum of independent Bernoulli random variables and the Poisson random variable (with the same mean) are derived ...

It seems iOS 17.0.3 couldn't fix all iPhone 15 issues after all. A few days after the update was released, several iPhone 15 users are complaining that their phones are shutting off while charging at ...
