We can compare discrete and continuous data by looking at how water comes out of a tap. A dripping tap shows discrete data, because each individual drop can be counted. The data collected will simply ...

This paper presents an approach for representing functions of discrete variables, and their products, using logarithmic numbers of binary variables. Given a univariate function whose domain consists ...

Let T denote a subset of the possible transitions between the states of a finite Markov chain and let Yk denote the time of the kth occurrence of a T-transition. Formulae are derived for the ...

Split a mile in half, you get half a mile. Split the half mile, you get a quarter, and on and on, until you’ve carved out a length far smaller than the diameter of an atom. Can this slicing continue ...
