Today we're looking at HyperLogLog, an algorithm that leverages random chance to count the number of distinct items are in a dataset. It does this by tracking the longest run of zeros in a binary ...

The internet is a weird and wonderful place. It's like the world's biggest flea market, where one minute you're looking at a video of a cat, and the next, your targeted ads are trying to sell you a ...

I would like to use simulate a stochastic process where the number of events in each time window follows a Poisson distribution. This code fails because the poisson.sample() distribution can only ...

Abstract: We extend network tomography to traffic flows that are not necessarily Poisson random processes. This assumption has governed the field since its inception in 1996 by Y. Vardi. We allow the ...

WLKY’S, MARK VANDERHOFF BRINGS US THE LATEST. ON THE PROPERTY INSPECTIONS WILL BE DONE ON A RANDOM BASIS AND THEY’RE DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE THAT LOUISVILLE’S RENTALS WILL BE SAFE AND UP TO CODE.

A problem statement is a powerful tool that helps businesses ask the right questions. Used properly, it can lead to efficient solutions and make problem-solving feel like a breeze. Done poorly, it can ...

This article shows that the Poisson Quasi-Maximum Likelihood (QML) estimator applied to the gravity model produces estimates in which, summing across all partners, actual and estimated total trade ...
