| diagram of roulette wheel: Mathematical Models of Information and Stochastic Systems Philipp Kornreich, 2018-10-03 From ancient soothsayers and astrologists to today’s pollsters and economists, probability theory has long been used to predict the future on the basis of past and present knowledge. Mathematical Models of Information and Stochastic Systems shows that the amount of knowledge about a system plays an important role in the mathematical models used to foretell the future of the system. It explains how this known quantity of information is used to derive a system’s probabilistic properties. After an introduction, the book presents several basic principles that are employed in the remainder of the text to develop useful examples of probability theory. It examines both discrete and continuous distribution functions and random variables, followed by a chapter on the average values, correlations, and covariances of functions of variables as well as the probabilistic mathematical model of quantum mechanics. The author then explores the concepts of randomness and entropy and derives various discrete probabilities and continuous probability density functions from what is known about a particular stochastic system. The final chapters discuss information of discrete and continuous systems, time-dependent stochastic processes, data analysis, and chaotic systems and fractals. By building a range of probability distributions based on prior knowledge of the problem, this classroom-tested text illustrates how to predict the behavior of diverse systems. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Model-based calibration of automated transmissions Huang, Hua, 2016-11-18 With continuous restrictions on emission standards and demands for higher driving comfort, the calibration of shift quality is linked deeply and widely to automated transmission control algorithms. This calibration process is typically implemented with real vehicles on the road under poorly reproducible conditions, where the calibration engineer has no other choice but to try different control parameters till the subjective assessment on the shift quality meets certain requirements, such as shifting comfort or sportiness. Compared with today’s multiplying number of variants in vehicle-engine-transmission combinations and exponential growth of control parameters, this traditional method is backward and costly. An efficient way to rise to the challenge is the model-based automatic calibration. In contrast to the conventional shift quality calibration, this novel method uses a closed loop approach based on a dynamic model instead of human know-how. A shift quality correlated position trajectory is proposed. Compared to the traditional control parameter adjustment method, the guided trajectory has a higher tolerance to the system’s hardware components and a better compatibility with TCUs from diverse suppliers. Since shift quality is not restricted to a general summarized grade, e.g., comfort and sportiness are always two conflicting influence factors in the terms of shift quality calibrations, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is applied to search the set of Pareto-optimal front, which includes all the optimal compromised control parameters of the gear shifting trajectory for possible choice. In this work a hydro-mechanical AMT synchronization system is used as an example to explain the proposed optimization process. A Modelica® based non-linear hydro-mechanical AMT system is modeled, which describes the transient behavior during gear shifting in detail. An effective fuzzy sliding-mode position controller is designed for the referenced position tracking during synchronization; in contrast to the conventional trial-and-error tuning method, a genetic algorithm is applied to automatically identify and optimize the sliding-mode controller parameters. A novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, MLIA, is developed to find out the optimal control set for the synchronization trajectories. Verification at a transmission test bench shows that this model-based multi-objective optimization method has a guiding capability in automated transmission calibration. Mit deutlich strengeren gesetzlichen Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Abgasemissionen und einer zunehmend anspruchsvolleren Nachfrage bezüglich des Fahrkomforts, rückt die Frage nach der Schaltqualität stärker in den Fokus der Getriebeentwicklung. Die Kalibrierung (umgangssprachlich die Applikation) ist deshalb ein Schwerpunkt bei der Entwicklung von Algorithmen für die Schaltqualität von automatisierten Getriebesteuerungen. Der Kalibrierungsprozess wird in der Regel im Fahrzeugversuch auf der Straße durchgeführt. Der Applikationsingenieur versucht unter diesen nicht reproduzierbaren Bedingungen verschiedene Steuerparameter zu adaptieren. Dies wird für eine Schaltung solange durchgeführt bis die subjektive Beurteilung der Schaltqualität und die zugehörigen Eigenschaften, wie zum Beispiel Schaltkomfort und Sportlichkeit, erfüllt ist. Dieser beschriebene Prozess ist zeit- und personalaufwendig, was mit dem aktuellen Angebot an Motor-Getriebe-Fahrzeugvarianten kaum bewältigt werden kann. Als weitere Herausforderung steigt die Anzahl der kalibrierbaren Parameter der Regler- und Steuerungsmethoden stetig um die Kundenbedürfnisse zu befriedigen, weshalb auch aus Kostensicht ein besserer Prozess gefunden werden muss. Eine effiziente Möglichkeit zur Lösung der skizzierten Problemstellungen ist die modellbasierte automatische Kalibrierung. Im Gegensatz zu der herkömmlich auf Fahrversuche basierende Kalibrierung der Schaltqualität verwendet dieses neue Verfahren ein dynamisches Modell in einer geschlossenen Schleife. Anstelle des Applikationsingenieurs für die Fahrvorgaben wird in der Schleife ein Fahrerregler und ein Optimierungsalgorithmus verwendet, um so eine hohe Reproduzierbarkeit des Schaltereignisses sicherzustellen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, die Bewegung der Schaltstellung zu optimieren, da diese mit der Schaltqualität korreliert. Diametral steht dem die allgemein übliche Regleranpassung verschiedener Parameter für die Synchronisation gegenüber. Die vorgeschlagene Methode der geführten Schaltbewegung weist eine deutlich höhere Toleranz gegenüber der Varianz an Hardwarekomponenten und damit eine bessere Kompatibilität zu den Getriebesteuergeräten (TCUs) verschiedener Lieferanten auf. Die Schaltqualität lässt sich nicht auf ein subjektives Kriterium zusammenfassen, es werden immer unterschiedliche Faktoren wie z.B. Komfort und Sportlichkeit den Schaltvorgang bestimmen. Deshalb wird für die Optimierung des Schaltvorgangs eine mehrkriterieller evolutionärer Algorithmus angewandt, um die Paretofront zu identifizieren, was alle Kompromisse der Schaltbewegungsregelung einschließt. Es wird ein Modell eines hydromechanischen Synchronisationssystems für ein automatisiertes Getriebe als Beispielanwendung benutzt, um den vorgeschlagenen Optimierungsprozess zu demonstrieren. Das nichtlineare hydromechanische Synchronisationssystem wird mit der objektorientierten Sprache Modelica® modelliert. Mit dem Modell werden Schaltvorgänge detailliert beschrieben. Ein Fuzzy-Sliding-Mode-Regler wird für die jeweilige Bewegung der Schaltung während der Synchronisation benutzt. Im Gegensatz zur herkömmlichen empirischen Anpassung der Reglerparameter wird ein genetischer Algorithmus angewendet, um die automatische Erkennung und Bewertung der Parameter vom Fuzzy-Sliding-Mode-Regler zu optimieren. Ein neuartiger evolutionärer mehrkriterieller Algorithmus (MLIA) wurde angewandt, um eine optimale Bewegung der Schaltstellung während der Synchronisierung zu finden. Die Validierung am Getriebeprüfstand zeigt, dass diese modellbasierte Methode der mehrkriteriellen Optimierung in der automatisierten Getriebekalibrierung eine deutliche Verbesserung darstellt. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Introducing Game Theory and its Applications Elliott Mendelson, Daniel Zwillinger, 2024-08-02 This classic text, originally from the noted logician Elliot Mendelson, is intended to be an easy-to-read introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of game theory. It can be used as a class textbook or for self-study. Introducing Game Theory and its Applications, Second Edition presents an easy-to-read introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of game theory. After a brief introduction, the authors begin with a chapter devoted to combinatorial games--a topic neglected or treated minimally in most other texts. The focus then shifts to two-person zero-sum games and their solutions. Here the authors present the simplex method based on linear programming for solving these games and develop within this presentation the required background. The final chapter presents some of the fundamental ideas and tools of non-zero-sum games and games with more than two players, including an introduction to cooperative game theory. The book is suitable for a first undergraduate course in game theory, or a graduate course for students with limited previous exposure. It is useful for students who need to learn some game theory for a related subject (e.g., microeconomics) and have a limited mathematical background. It also prepares its readers for more advanced study of game theory's applications in economics, business, and the physical, biological, and social sciences. The authors hope this book breeds curiosity about the subject as its design is meant to to satisfy the readers. The book will prepare readers for deeper study of game theory applications in many fields of study. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Classical and Evolutionary Algorithms in the Optimization of Optical Systems Darko Vasiljevic, 2012-12-06 The optimization of optical systems is a very old problem. As soon as lens designers discovered the possibility of designing optical systems, the desire to improve those systems by the means of optimization began. For a long time the optimization of optical systems was connected with well-known mathematical theories of optimization which gave good results, but required lens designers to have a strong knowledge about optimized optical systems. In recent years modern optimization methods have been developed that are not primarily based on the known mathematical theories of optimization, but rather on analogies with nature. While searching for successful optimization methods, scientists noticed that the method of organic evolution (well-known Darwinian theory of evolution) represented an optimal strategy of adaptation of living organisms to their changing environment. If the method of organic evolution was very successful in nature, the principles of the biological evolution could be applied to the problem of optimization of complex technical systems. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: What Are the Chances of That? Andrew C. A. Elliott, 2021 Chance fills every day of our lives and affects every decision we make. Yet, for something woven so closely into the fabric of our being, we are not very good at thinking about uncertainty and risk. In this lively and engaging book, Andrew C. A. Elliott asks why this is so. He picks at the threads and, in showing how our world is built on probability rather than certainty, he identifies five obstacles to thinking about uncertainty that confuse us time after time. Elliott takes us into the casino, but this is not an invitation to gamble. He looks at financial markets, but this is not a guide to investment. There's discussion of health, but this is not a medical book. He touches on genetics and evolution, and music-making, and writing, because chance is at work there too. Entering many different fields, What are the Chances of That? is always following the trail of chance and randomness. One purpose of the book is to go cross-country, to show that there are connected ways of thinking that disrespect boundaries and cut across the domains of finance, and gambling, and genetics, and public health, and creativity. Through it, one visits the vantage points that give a broad view of the landscape and sees how these different areas of life and knowledge are connected - through chance. What are the Chances of That? discusses chance and the importance of understanding how it affects our lives. It goes beyond a mathematical approach to the subject, showing how our thinking about chance and uncertainty has been shaped by history and culture, and only relatively recently by the mathematical theory of probability. In considering how we think about uncertainty, Elliott proposes five dualities that encapsulate many of the ambiguities that arise. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Probability Darrell P. Rowbottom, 2015-10-30 When a doctor tells you theres a one percent chance that an operation will result in your death, or a scientist claims that his theory is probably true, what exactly does that mean? Understanding probability is clearly very important, if we are to make good theoretical and practical choices. In this engaging and highly accessible introduction to the philosophy of probability, Darrell Rowbottom takes the reader on a journey through all the major interpretations of probability, with reference to real-world situations. In lucid prose, he explores the many fallacies of probabilistic reasoning, such as the gamblers fallacy and the inverse fallacy, and shows how we can avoid falling into these traps by using the interpretations presented. He also illustrates the relevance of the interpretation of probability across disciplinary boundaries, by examining which interpretations of probability are appropriate in diverse areas such as quantum mechanics, game theory, and genetics. Using entertaining dialogues to draw out the key issues at stake, this unique book will appeal to students and scholars across philosophy, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Games, Gambling, and Probability David G. Taylor, 2021-06-22 Many experiments have shown the human brain generally has very serious problems dealing with probability and chance. A greater understanding of probability can help develop the intuition necessary to approach risk with the ability to make more informed (and better) decisions. The first four chapters offer the standard content for an introductory probability course, albeit presented in a much different way and order. The chapters afterward include some discussion of different games, different ideas that relate to the law of large numbers, and many more mathematical topics not typically seen in such a book. The use of games is meant to make the book (and course) feel like fun! Since many of the early games discussed are casino games, the study of those games, along with an understanding of the material in later chapters, should remind you that gambling is a bad idea; you should think of placing bets in a casino as paying for entertainment. Winning can, obviously, be a fun reward, but should not ever be expected. Changes for the Second Edition: New chapter on Game Theory New chapter on Sports Mathematics The chapter on Blackjack, which was Chapter 4 in the first edition, appears later in the book. Reorganization has been done to improve the flow of topics and learning. New sections on Arkham Horror, Uno, and Scrabble have been added. Even more exercises were added! The goal for this textbook is to complement the inquiry-based learning movement. In my mind, concepts and ideas will stick with the reader more when they are motivated in an interesting way. Here, we use questions about various games (not just casino games) to motivate the mathematics, and I would say that the writing emphasizes a just-in-time mathematics approach. Topics are presented mathematically as questions about the games themselves are posed. Table of Contents Preface 1. Mathematics and Probability 2. Roulette and Craps: Expected Value 3.

| diagram of roulette wheel: Robot Colonies Ronald C. Arkin, George A. Bekey, 2013-03-14 Robots in groups or colonies can exhibit an enormous variety and richness of behaviors which cannot be observed with singly autonomous systems. Of course, this is analogous to the amazing variety of group animal behaviors which can be observed in nature. In recent years more and more investigators have started to study these behaviors. The studies range from classifications and taxonomies of behaviors, to development of architectures which cause such group activities as flocking or swarming, and from emphasis on the role of intelligent agents in such groups to studies of learning and obstacle avoidance. There used to be a time when many robotics researchers would question those who were interested in working with teams of robots: `Why are you worried about robotic teams when it's hard enough to just get one to work?'. This issue responds to that question. Robot Colonies provides a new approach to task problem-solving that is similar in many ways to distributed computing. Multiagent robotic teams offer the possibility of spatially distributed parallel and concurrent perception and action. A paradigm shift results when using multiple robots, providing a different perspective on how to carry out complex tasks. New issues such as interagent communications, spatial task distribution, heterogeneous or homogeneous societies, and interference management are now central to achieving coordinated and productive activity within a colony. Fortunately mobile robot hardware has evolved sufficiently in terms of both cost and robustness to enable these issues to be studied on actual robots and not merely in simulation. Robot Colonies presents a sampling of the research in this field. While capturing a reasonable representation of the most important work within this area, its objective is not to be a comprehensive survey, but rather to stimulate new research by exposing readers to the principles of robot group behaviors, architectures and theories. Robot Colonies is an edited volume of peer-reviewed original research comprising eight invited contributions by leading researchers. This research work has also been published as a special issue of Autonomous Robots (Volume 4, Number 1). |

Vesalius's haunting pictures of the human anatomy were nothing less than works of art, while the simple diagram now known as Pythagoras' Theorem - proved by the ancient Babylonians, Chinese, Indians and Egyptians long before the Greeks themselves - lay the foundations for modern mathematics. * Many of these images have shattered our preconceptions about the limits and nature of existence: the first breathtaking pictures of the Earth from space stimulated an environmental consciousness that has grown ever since; the mushroom cloud from atomic and nuclear explosions became the ultimate symbol of death and destruction; the flying saucer came to represent the possibility of extraterrestrial life; while Mercator's flat map of the Earth coordinated an entire world-view. * Cosmic Imagery takes us on a tour through the most influential images in science. Each holds an important place in the growth of human understanding and carries with it a story that illuminates its origin and meaning. Together they reveal something of the beauty and truth of the universe, and why, so often, a picture is better than a thousand words. |
| diagram of roulette wheel: Unsupervised Signal Processing João Marcos Travassos Romano, Romis Attux, Charles Casimiro Cavalcante, Ricardo Suyama, 2018-09-03 Unsupervised Signal Processing: Channel Equalization and Source Separation provides a unified, systematic, and synthetic presentation of the theory of unsupervised signal processing. Always maintaining the focus on a signal processing-oriented approach, this book describes how the subject has evolved and assumed a wider scope that covers several topics, from well-established blind equalization and source separation methods to novel approaches based on machine learning and bio-inspired algorithms. From the foundations of statistical and adaptive signal processing, the authors explore and elaborate on emerging tools, such as machine learning-based solutions and bio-inspired methods. With a fresh take on this exciting area of study, this book: Provides a solid background on the statistical characterization of signals and systems and on linear filtering theory Emphasizes the link between supervised and unsupervised processing from the perspective of linear prediction and constrained filtering theory Addresses key issues concerning equilibrium solutions and equivalence relationships in the context of unsupervised equalization criteria Provides a systematic presentation of source separation and independent component analysis Discusses some instigating connections between the filtering problem and computational intelligence approaches. Building on more than a decade of the authors’ work at DSPCom laboratory, this book applies a fresh conceptual treatment and mathematical formalism to important existing topics. The result is perhaps the first unified presentation of unsupervised signal processing techniques—one that addresses areas including digital filters, adaptive methods, and statistical signal processing. With its remarkable synthesis of the field, this book provides a new vision to stimulate progress and contribute to the advent of more useful, efficient, and friendly intelligent systems. |
| diagram of roulette wheel: Core Questions in Philosophy Elliott Sober, 2020-02-20 Writing in an engaging lecture-style format, Elliott Sober shows students how philosophy is best used to evaluate many different kinds of arguments and to construct sound theories. Well-known historical texts are discussed, not as a means to honor the dead or merely to discuss what various philosophers have thought, but to engage with, criticize, and even improve ideas from the past. In addition—because philosophy cannot function apart from its engagement with the wider society—traditional and contemporary philosophical problems are brought into dialogue with the physical, biological, and social sciences. Text boxes highlight key concepts, and review questions, discussion questions, and a glossary of terms are also included. Core Questions in Philosophy has served as a premier introductory textbook for more than two decades, with updates to each new edition. New improvements to this seventh edition include a lower price and a new Routledge companion website that includes: Updated supplementary readings, with the inclusion of more work from female philosophers New videos and podcasts, organized by their relevance to each chapter in the book.

| diagram of roulette wheel: Artificial Immune Systems: A New Computational Intelligence Approach Leandro Nunes de Castro, Jonathan Timmis, 2002-09-23 Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are adaptive systems inspired by the biological immune system and applied to problem solving. This book provides an accessible introduction that will be suitable for anyone who is beginning to study or work in this area. It gives a clear definition of an AIS, sets out the foundations of the topic (including basic algorithms), and analyses how the immune system relates to other biological systems and processes. No prior knowledge of immunology is needed - all the essential background information is covered in the introductory chapters. Key features of the book include: - A discussion of AIS in the context of Computational Intelligence; - Case studies in Autonomous Navigation, Computer Network Security, Job-Shop Scheduling and Data Analysis =B7 An extensive survey of applications; - A framework to help the reader design and understand AIS; - A web site with additional resources including pseudocodes for immune algorithms, and links to related sites. Written primarily for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Artificial Intelligence, Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Computing, this book will also be of interest to industrial and academic researchers working in related areas. |

| diagram of roulette wheel: Psychology and Mathematics Education Gila Hanna, Laura Macchi, Karin Binder, Laura Martignon, Katharina Loibl, 2023-09-05 Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called errors: as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity). |
