The consensus is represented by a probability mass function (pmf), a L × 5 matrix where L is the length of the V genes in this case (Kepler et al., submitted for publication).
For a discrete random variable, x, the probability distribution is defined by a probability mass function, denoted by f(x).
Chalone concentration C is a discrete random variable, which can be described by a probability mass function f(c).
Using this empirically determined error rate, we compared observed sequence differences in the toxin genes to the expected distribution of errors generated by a binomial probability mass function [19].
The mass values, which are described above, are associated with their positions, and are calculated by the mass function.
Recall the univariate Poisson distribution is given by the mass function P (X = x ) = λ x exp / x !, where λ is the shape parameter.
The first sensor being Bayesian, the observation knowledge may then be modeled through a probabilistic mass function m1 defined by m 1 ( x ) = Π n = 1 N m 1 ( x n ) ∝ Π n = 1 N p ( y n 1 | x n ).
We proposed a new nucleation theory by introducing a "mass distribution function Q(N,t) ∝ Nf(N,t)".
In the discrete case the weights are given by the probability mass function, and in the continuous case the weights are given by the probability density function.
Since the DCT coefficients can only take value into a discrete set, the distribution (mathcal {P}_{theta }) may be represented by its probability mass function (pmf) denoted P θ ={p θ [u]}; for simplicityb, it is assumed in this paper that (u in mathbb {Z}).
