Distribution Type

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on identifying the type of distribution for a queue of requests that arrive at varying rates throughout the day. Participants explore whether the situation can be modeled as a Poisson process, noting that a Poisson process assumes a constant average rate of arrival, which may not apply here due to the fluctuating request rates. The conversation highlights the need to consider alternative distributions that account for the non-uniform arrival rates, such as a non-homogeneous Poisson process or other queuing models. Additionally, the importance of analyzing the specific arrival patterns and time intervals is emphasized to determine the most suitable distribution. Understanding the correct distribution is crucial for optimizing queue management and service efficiency.

I have a queue of request that every during a day some requests arrive in a queue to be served. but, the rate of request's arrival is different in each hour.
I would appreciate that if somebody tells me what kind of distribution the problem is ?

Re: help in determine what kind of Distribution is that

Why is it not still a Poisson Process?

Thread 'Please Explain (actually explain) The Monty Hall Problem'

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. But this one involves probability, known as the Monty Hall Problem. Please see any number of YouTube videos on this for an explanation, I'll leave it to them to explain it. I question the predicate of all those who answer this...

Thread 'Value of intuitionistic logic'

I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.

Thread 'Formal derivation of statement from Peano Arithmetic system'

I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
