Japan doesn’t have too many tourists. It has too many tourists being sent to the same places. Until that changes, talks on solving overtourism will just remain recycled rhetoric. As Japan continues to ...

Abstract: This article innovatively combines the empirical distribution characteristics of random fuzzy variables to propose a new Wasserstein distributionally robust equilibrium optimization method ...

Interest Rate Probability Distributions Implied by Derivatives Prices is a daily measure of the distribution of future short-term interest rates, calculated from prices of fixed-income derivatives ...

Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples.

A variation of a puzzle called the “pick-up sticks problem” asks the following question: If I have some number of sticks with random lengths between 0 and 1, what are the chances that no three of ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of designing nonlinear discrete-time dynamical systems for prospective use in low-complexity random signal generators. Drawing upon ergodic systems theory, ...

Sampling from probability distributions with known density functions (up to normalization) is a fundamental challenge across various scientific domains. From Bayesian uncertainty quantification to ...
