You will be asked for complete, precise definitions of about four of the following terms, including context (e.g., what kind of thing can have a Poisson distribution?). Definitions should be complete ...

We study first passage percolation (FPP) on the configuration model (CM) having power-law degrees with exponent τ ∈ [1, 2) and exponential edge weights. We derive the distributional limit of the ...

We present a method to obtain both exact values and sharp estimates for the total variation distance between binomial and Poisson distributions with the same mean λ. We give a simple efficient ...

The Poisson distribution is widely used in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In Bayesian inference, probability distributions often help solve problems that would otherwise be ...
