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 ...

ABSTRACT: Count data is almost always over-dispersed where the variance exceeds the mean. Several count data models have been proposed by researchers but the problem of over-dispersion still remains ...

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 ...

NFL scorigamis — a final score combination that has never previously occurred in league history, such as 11-6 or 22-16 — have sparked a cult-like following among football fans and statisticians alike.

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.

Abstract: New lower bounds on the total variation distance between the distribution of a sum of independent Bernoulli random variables and the Poisson random variable (with the same mean) are derived ...
