The probability distribution of the number of defaults plays an important role in pricing problems of multiple-name credit derivatives. When the group size gets large, it becomes increasingly ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed new insight into a formula that helped British cryptanalysts crack the German Enigma code in World War II. Scientists at the ...

A straightforward expansion and integration of the frequency function for Fisher's $z$ produces a formula for the probability that $z$ is not exceeded, of which the ...

Stein's method has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool in probability theory for deriving error bounds in distributional approximations. Originally developed to ...
