It's time for another physics example. In this case, I am going to calculate the electric field due to an electric charged rod. Of course you could do this analytically using a bit of calculus. This ...

The frequency of words in texts, the size of companies and the linking together of components in Linux software distributions show approximately the same mathematical distribution: they obey Zipf’s ...

Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

An efficient adaptive direct numerical integration (DNI) algorithm is developed for computing high quantiles and conditional Value at Risk (VaR) of compound distributions using characteristic ...

One approach to the computation of the price of an Asian option involves the Hartman-Watson distribution. However, numerical problems for its density occur for small values. This motivates the ...

Biometrika is primarily a journal of statistics in which emphasis is placed on papers containing original theoretical contributions of direct or potential value in applications. From time to time, ...
