Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHemisphere Sizing from Linear Intercept MeasurementWilfried GilleThe stereological problem of unfolding the hemisphere radius distribution from the chord length distribution is analyzed. Let a stationary isotropic process of hemispheres be given. The hemispheres have random diameters and are isotropically uniformly randomly orientated in space. A straight line probe yields a process of intercepts. The inverse problem of re-obtaining the size distribution of the hemispheres in terms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKernel Density Estimation for Interdeparture Time of GI/G/1 QueuesHsing Luh, Berlin WuThe departure process of a single queue has been studied since the 1960s. Due to its inherent complexity, closed form solutions for the distribution of the departure process are nearly intractable. In this study, kernel type estimators of the density of interdeparture time in a GI/G/1 queue are studied. Uniform strong consistency of the estimators in a GI/G/1 queue and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
