A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . . For example, stock prices are discrete random variables, ...

Introduction to probability theory and its applications. Axioms of probability, distributions, discrete and continuous random variables, conditional and joint distributions, correlation, limit laws, ...

Many physical platforms, including photons, ions, atoms, solid state and superconducting devices, and nuclear magnetic resonance 1, are being explored with the view of constructing a quantum computer.

The range of correlation coefficient of any bivariate discrete random vector with finite or countably infinite values is derived. We show analytically that the normal-transformed discrete bivariate ...

Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

Several economic and financial time series are bounded by an upper and lower finite limit (e.g., interest rates). It is not possible to say that these time series are random walks because random walks ...
