Laplace transforms, probabilities and queues.
In this thesis, we discuss a probabilistic interpretation of the Laplace transform of probability density functions (p.d.f.) for waiting times in queues. We interpret the Laplace transform of a p.d.f. as the probability that the corresponding random variable wins a race against (i.e., is less than) …

Modelling probabilities of corporate default
… related to the scope of this study on modelling probabilities of corporate default of South African firms. Using our model, we simulate defaults and subsequently, infer parameters using classical statistical frequentist likelihood estimation and one-world-view pseudo-likelihood estimation. We …

Managing Agent Sampling Probabilities in Irregular Networks
Agent-based security can provide a good distributed solution to issues surrounding large real-world networks. Such networks are often modeled by small-world, scale-free, minimum-distance, or random (SFMR) graphs. If agents randomly wander nodes, then the irregularity found in these types of graphs …

Ruin Probabilities with Dependent Forces of Interest.
… time risk models are introduced and ruin probabilities in these two models under dependent forces of interest are discussed. Recursive and integral equations for these ruin probabilities are given. Inequalities for the ruin probability estimation are derived by an inductive approach. …

Topics on the estimation of small probabilities
… (ML/E) method of estimation of the cell probabilities for multinomial and contingency table problems is derived and discussed. This method is a generalization of the Maximum Likelihood estimator to situations when small probabilities are to be estimated and the standard Maximum Likelihood …

Subjective Probabilities in Choice Experiments' Design: Three Essays
… essays investigates the influence of subjective probabilities on decision making processes under conditions of risk. In particular, it examines whether subjects adjust new risk information on their prior subjective estimates, and, to what extent this adjustment affects their choices. In the first …

Revision of Subjective Probabilities Under a Bayesian Model
The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which subjective probability judgments conform to the Bayesian model of mathematical probability theory; more specifically, the degree to which subjective probability estimates for intersections of events approximate the product of the …

Calculating failure probabilities of passive systems during transients
A time-dependent reliability evaluation of a two-loop passive Decay Heat Removal (DHR) system was performed as part of the iterative design process for a helium-cooled fast reactor. The system was modeled using RELAP5-3D. The uncertainties in input parameters were assessed and were propagated …

Random tilings : gap probabilities, local and global asymptotics
In the thesis we explore and develop two different approaches to the study of random tiling models. First, we consider tilings of a hexagon by rombi, viewed as 3D random stepped surfaces with a measure proportional to q-volume. Such model is closely related to q-Hahn orthogonal polynomial …

Solidarity and ergodic properties of semi-Markov transition probabilities
… that the Laplace transforms of the transition probabilities pertaining to an irreducible class all have the same abscissa of convergence, a fact that permits the definition of a-recurrence and leads to a result for a-recurrent processes that generalizes the familiar ergodic theorem of Markov …

The Extinction Probabilities of Nuclear Assemblies: A Sensitivity Study

Quantization of prior probabilities in Bayesian group decision-making

Evaluation of human error probabilities for post-initiating events
… Treatment of post-initiating event human error probabilities by three human reliability analysis methods are compared to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the methodologies and to identify how they may be best used. A Technique for Human Event Analysis (ATHEANA) has a unique approach …

Fast program for sequence alignment using partition function posterior probabilities
The key requirements of a good sequence alignment tool are high accuracy and fast execution. The existing Probalign program is a highly accurate tool for sequence alignment of both proteins and nucleotides. However, the time for execution is fairly high. The focus is therefore, to reduce the …
