Statistical Science, Vol. 8, No. 1, Report from the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Research Council on Probability and Algorithms (Feb., 1993), pp. 48-56 (9 pages) ...

From Monopoly to Backgammon to Yahtzee, our first experiences with board games almost always feature sets of six-sided dice. They’re a great way to create some randomness and chaos in a game, but ...

Research of the probability and statistics group includes particle systems, theoretical statistics, non-conventional random walks, random matrix theory, and random polynomials. Research interests also ...

We draw attention to some important nonlinear equations commonly arising in applied probability, review some known techniques to compute their minimal nonnegative solutions, propose improved iterative ...

Mathematics professor Gregory Lawler was named a co-winner of the $100,000 Wolf Prize. The award recognizes Lawler’s research in probability theory involving random walks and Brownian motion, which ...

Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk. The team, which also worked with a colleague from Israel’s ...
