Abstract: The settling/rising velocity is of key importance in the vertical distribution of microplastics in marine environment. It is generally parameterized with semi-empirical laws dependent on the ...

Abstract: In this study, the multivariate probability distribution was investigated to develop the expert knowledge-based automatic sleep stage determination technique. The ultimate purpose is to ...

We start with analyzing stochastic dependence in a classic bivariate normal density framework. We focus on the way the conditional density of one of the random variables depends on realizations of the ...

This paper presents a saddlepoint approximation to the cumulative distribution function of a random vector. The proposed approximation has accuracy comparable to that of existing expansions valid in ...

1) Define (and distinguish between) the terms *joint probability mass/density function*, *marginal pmf/pdf*, and *conditional pmf/pdf*. 2) Given a joint pmf/pdf, obtain the marginal and conditional ...
