Differential Modelling?

How can I estimate the probability of a population reaching some size in the next step, considering that my population size follows a differential model, let's say dP/dt = cP(1-P/K); where c is...

Compute the number of path from a node to a different one in a weighted undirected connected 3-regular graph.

The graph is a weighted undirected connected 3-regular graph. The number of nodes is N. For each node there is one loop with weight $= \frac{1}{N}, and two other edges which goes from the node to...

Cumulants and moments for the multivariate distribution.

The cumulants are related to the moments by a recursive formula for a univariate distribution. Is there a similar formula for the multivariate case? I'm interesting in the multivariate normal...

Difference between distribution and Process?

Currently I am reading about stochastic processes. I cannot understand how one can extend distribution to a process (like a particular example is Poisson distribution and Process). But can we...

Is shannon entropy H a measure?

Let Σ be a σ-algebra over a set X. A function μ from Σ to the extended real number line is called a MEASURE if it satisfies the following properties: (1) μ(e_i) >= 0 for e_i in Σ (2) μ(e_i ∪ e_j)...

Can advise on how to apply Gillespie's stochastic simulation algorithm?

I'm using SSA on the simulation of a pure breakage process with exponential kernel function. SSA needs to set an initial number of particles, N. This N will be increasing during simulation. I'd...
