This dissertation contains several new results concerning Moser-type optimal stopping problems. In the simplest case we consider sequence of independent uniformly distrib[...]

This multi-case study examined high school students’ probability literacy, with focus on randomness, independence, and sample space. Task-based interviews were used with [...]

Higher order Turing formulae, denoted as Tr for r ∈ Z+, are a powerful result allowing one to estimate the total probability associated with words from a random piece of [...]

The main result of this dissertation concerns the asymptotics, uniform in t and x, of the probability distribution of a random walk with heavy tails. The random walk is a[...]

A method of univariant probability density function (pdf) estimation is developed for big data applications. The method employs the use of a non-parametric maximum entrop[...]

Using a reversal design, the current study evaluated the effects of the high-probability request sequence (HPRS) on the compliance to low-probability requests for a high [...]

Competing risks often arise where more than one event compete with each other for a subject. The cumulative incidence function is a proper summary quantity for analyzing [...]
