Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

A continuous r. v. can only hypothetically assume any value on a continuum. When only an approximating discrete r. v. ("discretization") is observable, estimation procedures employing the hypothetical ...

This paper obtains some extensions of Gilliland and Hannan's results on equivariance and the compound decision problem. Consider a compound decision problem with restricted component risk and ...

The second part in the Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS) sequence covers mathematical topics of probability, linear algebra, multivariable calculus and basic optimization that are ...
