The alias method of Walker is a clever, new, fast method for generating random variables from an arbitrary, specified discrete distribution. A simple probabilistic proof is given, in terms of mixtures ...

What Is the Difference Between the Binomial Distribution and the Multinomial Distribution? Simply put, a multinomial distribution has several possible discrete outcomes.

In a number of situations we are faced with the problem of determining efficient estimates of the mean and variance of a distribution specified by (i) a non-zero probability that the variable assumes ...
