A survey is given of general properties of normal variance-mean mixtures, including various new results. In particular, it is shown that the class of self-reciprocal normal variance mixtures is rather ...

Think about a baseball game. The batter has to decide whether and how to hit the incoming pitch. He needs to judge the position and speed of the ball, given his own visual uncertainty, and to estimate ...

Uses the computer to apply mathematics, probability and statistics to technological problems. Topics include: probability, statistics, regression, correlation, goodness of fit, variance, probability ...

Monte Carlo variance reduction techniques have become indispensable in radiation transport simulations, where the challenge of obtaining statistically significant results in deep-penetration problems ...
