A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

Roll a die and ask students to identify the random variable. Since a die can only take on values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this is a discrete random variable. Repeat ...

Abstract: Consider a system comprising sensors that communicate with a remote estimator by way of a so-called collision channel. Each sensor observes a discrete random variable and must decide whether ...

A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . . For example, stock prices are discrete random variables, ...

This repository contains implementations of the Unordered set estimator as derived in our paper Estimating Gradients for Discrete Random Variables by Sampling without Replacement. For more details, ...

In a raffle with 20 tickets, 6 tickets are drawn for prizes. The first prize winner gets $\$20$, 2 second prize winners get $\$10$, and three third prize winners get $\$5$. What is the sample space ...
