Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Assessment (DPRA) represents a significant evolution in the evaluation of nuclear power plant safety, integrating time-dependent models of system evolution with stochastic ...

Continuous probabilistic techniques involving simulation can help managers predict the likelihood of time and cost overruns in all types and sizes of oil and gas projects. By deriving time and cost ...

The basic problem of a theory of truth approximation is defining when a theory is “close to the truth” about some relevant domain. Existing accounts of truthlikeness or verisimilitude address this ...

Consider an N × n random matrix $Y_{n}=(Y_{ij}^{n})$ where the entries are given by $Y_{ij}^{n}={\textstyle\frac{\sigma _{ij}(n)}{\sqrt{n}}}X_{ij}^{n}$, the $X_{ij ...
