A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The mean deviation of the symmetrical multinomial distribution may be used to test the hypothesis of equal cell probabilities in a multinomial ...

Instead of maximum-likelihood or MAP, Bayesian inference encourages the use of predictive densities and evidence scores. This is illustrated in the context of the multinomial distribution, where ...

The conjecture of twin prime numbers is a mathematical problem. Proving the twin prime conjecture using traditional modern number theory is extremely profound and complex. We propose an elementary ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to derive an upper-bound and a lower-bound of the entropy of a multinomial distribution. In spite of its practicality and versatility, there is no closed-form ...
