For a random walk with negative drift we study the exceedance probability (ruin probability) of a high threshold. The steps of this walk (claim sizes) constitute a stationary ergodic stable process.

The aim of this paper is to analyze a class of random processes which models the motion of a particle on the real line with random velocity and subject to the action of friction. The speed randomly ...

Random walks constitute a foundational concept in probability theory, describing the seemingly erratic movement of particles or agents as they traverse a space in a series of stochastic steps. In many ...

Random walks constitute one of the most fundamental models in the study of stochastic processes, representing systems that evolve in a sequence of random steps. Their applications range from modelling ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. A study by neuroscientists Raymundo Báez-Mendoza from the German Primate Center (DPZ)—Leibniz ...

Here’s a game Claude Shannon, the founder of information theory, invented in 1948. He was trying to model the English language as a random process. Go to your bookshelf, pick up a random book, open it ...
