A maximally connected coupling of the entire system of random variables is defined as one in which all connections have maximal subcouplings. |
|
Alice and Bob only use a random subset of the strings of Os and 1s for a spot check. |
|
Finally, we present an application to crossing numbers of random tanglegrams. |
|
With the notion of uncorrelatedness for random variables under the sublinear expectation, a weak law of large numbers is obtained. |
|
The brain-teaser, posted online, consists of blocks of seemingly random letters. |
|
A random number generator ensures that no two lines will be Squiggled the same, which creates an effect similar to a real hand drawing. |
|
We searched unmethodically through the piles of boxes, grabbing them at random and losing track of which ones we had checked before. |
|
Lastly, it provides random access times on the order of minutes, an unacceptably slow performance for many archival applications. |
|
The novel Alice in Wonderland describes a place where random things happen all willy-nilly. |
|
In 2004 he won a place in the Book of Alternative Records for memorising 17 random digits he had seen for only two seconds. |
|
Children wandered among the homes, forming random groupings in a kind of Brownian motion, playing, talking and making a companionable racket. |
|
The most likely result will be a crash when the code tries to use a vtable entry that contains random garbage. |
|
The preceding figure shows the Utah teapot, a popular benchmark for surfaces. The teapot is textured by a random polka-dot pattern. |
|
Chaos, or nonlinear dynamics, is a young science that is shedding light on an apparent inner order to seemingly random phenomena. |
|
And what if we want to unsort an array? The shuffle function uses PHP's random number generator to re-arrange the elements of an array randomly. |
|
Two microgram of total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA with random primers and avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase. |
|
Police said they believe the incident, in the Spital Hill area, was not a random attack. |
|
The noise is not unmelodic, not is it utterly random and therein lies its charm. |
|
Recall that Chebyshev's inequality is a useful tool for proving that a random variable is sharply concentrated about its mean value. |
|
Zeeko has developed a unicursal random tool path that does not follow a regular pattern and is non-crossing. |
