Random walks and electric networks
Peter G. Doyle,J. Laurie Snell +1 more
- 01 Dec 1984
TL;DR: The goal will be to interpret Polya’s beautiful theorem that a random walker on an infinite street network in d-dimensional space is bound to return to the starting point when d = 2, but has a positive probability of escaping to infinity without returning to the Starting Point when d ≥ 3, and to prove the theorem using techniques from classical electrical theory.
Wide-area traffic: the failure of Poisson modeling
Vern Paxson,Sally Floyd +1 more
- 01 Oct 1994
TL;DR: It is found that user-initiated TCP session arrivals, such as remote-login and file-transfer, are well-modeled as Poisson processes with fixed hourly rates, but that other connection arrivals deviate considerably from Poisson.

Stochastic Geometry and Wireless Networks: Volume I Theory
François Baccelli,Bartłlomiej Błlaszczyszyn +1 more
- 24 Sep 2009
TL;DR: Volume I first provides a compact survey on classical stochastic geometry models, with a main focus on spatial shot-noise processes, coverage processes and random tessellations, which is the basis for the modeling of wireless network protocols and architectures considered in Volume II.
Random Graphs and Complex Networks
Remco van der Hofstad
- 01 Jan 2017
TL;DR: This chapter explains why many real-world networks are small worlds and have large fluctuations in their degrees, and why Probability theory offers a highly effective way to deal with the complexity of networks, and leads us to consider random graphs.

Low density traffic streams
TL;DR: It is shown that if PI is the expected time for a vehicle to travel from A to B under the STOCHASTIC PROCESS GOVERNING the MOTION of VEHICLES, then a non-HOMOGENEOUS POISSON SPATIAL PROCESS with MEAN MEASURE PI is INVARIant.

On point estimation of the abnormality of a Mahalanobis index
TL;DR: Simulations show that some estimators, including the commonly-used plug-in maximum likelihood estimator, can have substantial bias for small or moderate sample sizes, and an adjustment is proposed that ensures estimates are always credible.

Competitive Bridge Bidding with Deep Neural Networks
Jiang Rong,Tao Qin,Bo An +2 more
- 08 May 2019
TL;DR: A competitive bidding system based on deep learning techniques, which exhibits two novelties: a compact representation to encode the private and public information available to a player for bidding and two neural networks to deal with imperfect information.

Measuring Transition and Mobility in the Hierarchical World–Economy
TL;DR: In this article, a temporal stochastic framework was used to analyze economic transitions of countries in the world system, and the authors provided a contribution to a general quantitative rendering of the world-systems perspective.
