Sentences with phrase «probability distribution function»

Additionally, we provide a more accurate chronology for the timing of Neanderthal extinction in the region through a robust series of 16 ultrafiltered bone collagen radiocarbon dates from LMP layers and using Bayesian modeling to produce a boundary probability distribution function corresponding to the end of the LMP at Mezmaiskaya.

Presumably a climate model would assume a convergence of all moments in each relevant probability distribution function (pdf) although presumably higher order components may be truncated according to particular assumptions of a given model.

If the problem is generalized to look at the entire probability distribution function (pdf) of the climate variables, then the biggest changes percentagewise occur in the tails of the distribution, where they can easily exceed several hundred percent (Trenberth 2011b).

You can very quickly set up a probability distribution function of your choice (fair dice, biased dice, numbered balls in a bag, you name it!)

I'm not quite sure whether this is aimed at eliciting a chuckle from scientists bemoaning the impossibility of communicating accurately with the outside world, or simply making a little fun out of the lack of reporters with a deep understanding of probability distribution functions or Bayesian analysis.

The probability of occurrence of values in this range is called a probability distribution function (PDF) that for some variables is shaped similarly to a «Normal» or «Gaussian» curve (the familiar «bell» curve).

This is often called a probability distribution function in practice, and in the Bayesian model of probability, all pdf s ultimately have this epistemic status.

She does this by virtue of a rather misplaced attack on Emanuel's use of «probability distribution functions» or pdfs in his argument that we must attend to worst cases.

A proper understanding of information theory and decision theory indicates that there is always an optimum policy in the light of available information, and this optimum is formally obtained via the use of risk weighting, which in turn is based on something that is structurally the same as a probability distribution function and is conceptually closely related.

Note that asymmetries may be in the probability distribution function as well as in the evaluation of the impact.
