Abstract: The Poisson-binomial probability density function (pdf) describes the numbers of successes in N independent trials, when the individual probabilities of ...

Got heel pain? You're not alone. A growing number of runners are experiencing plantar fasciitis. Here's why—and what you can ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the mapping problem. Using a conjugate prior form, we derive the exact theoretical batch multiobject posterior density of the map given a set of measurements. The ...

The record for most goals scored in a World Cup tournament is 172, but that could be broken by the time the group stages wrap ...

The word 'statistics' has two meanings—the use of numbers to describe whole patterns of activity (for example, baseball statistics), and the analytic methods that allow manipulation of such data. The ...

A team of astrophysicists has just published in Nature a finding that calls into question one of the pillars of modern ...

EL PAÍS’s statistical model predicts that Spain is the favorite but the 2010 champion only wins one out of every six times on our simulator. Check out our updated odds for each team ...

Log-linear Poisson models provide a principled framework for modeling such count data through covariate-dependent intensity functions. This study develops a Bayesian formulation of the Poisson ...
