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.

Flow on a wall surface due to spray impact
Ilia V. Roisman,Cameron Tropea +1 more
- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: In this paper, the parameters of a single drop impact and those of the impinging spray in varying the dynamics of a moving, oscillating liquid mixture are determined, such that the dynamic pressure applied by the spray can no longer be considered as continuous.
Spectral properties of the discrete random displacement model
Roger Nichols,Günter Stolz +1 more
- 06 Jul 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral properties of a discrete random displacement model with potential generated by randomly displacing finitely supported single-site terms from the points of a sublattice of the plane were investigated.

A comparison of statistical models for short categorical or ordinal time series with applications in ecology
TL;DR: Two statistical models for short-length categorical categorical (or ordinal) time series are studied, particularizing the discrete autoregressive model to the case of categorical data.

Portfolio Performance Measurement: Monotonicity with Respect to the Sharpe Ratio and Multivariate Tests of Correlation
C. J. Adcock,Nelson Areal,Manuel José da Rocha Armada,Maria Ceu Cortez,Benilde Oliveira,Florinda Silva +5 more
TL;DR: This article showed that under regularity conditions the asymptotic correlation between pairs of performance measures is equal to unity, and used this result to derive unconditional and conditional multivariate tests of unit correlation between an arbitrary number of performance measure.

Are all distributions of risk with the same 95thpercentile equally acceptable
TL;DR: In this article, the authors recommend that regulatory agencies adopt risk management policies for use with probabilistic risk assessments, and they base their new policies on two simultaneously binding constraints: 1) the 95th percentile of the risk distribution falls at or below a given value, without considering the behavior of the rest of the distribution.
