Trying to figure out how to tell the difference between discrete vs continuous variables? Try these steps: Figure out how long it would take you to sit down andcount outthe possible values of yourvariable. For
A random variable is a variable where chance determines its value. They can take on either discrete or continuous values, and understanding the properties of each type is essential in many statistical applications. Random variables are a key concept instatisticsand probability theory. While randomness...
Think about it—is age discrete or continuous? Given that you know the time of birth, you can accurately measure someone's age right down to the second. Age is a continuous variable in this case. However, we don’t usually worry about someone’s exact age, so age is treated as a ...

Continuous random variables are presented with a continuous function that is defined on the outcomes of a probabilistic event, such as the arrival times of busses at a certain bus stop. If the outcomes of the event are countable, then the random variable is called discrete random varia...

Then, the continuous-time continuous-variable components of our original model are replaced by their discrete-event counterparts. By doing so, we obtain the Hybrid CPPS model shown inFigure 18.10. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 18.10.Hybrid CPPS model in PowerDEVS. ...
Intra-individual processes are thought to continuously unfold across time. For equally spaced time intervals, the discrete-time lag-1 vector autoregressive (VAR(1)) model and the continuous-time Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) model are equivalent. It is expect
We compare three approaches to learning numerical parameters of discrete Bayesian networks from continuous data streams: (1) the EM algorithm applied to all data, (2) the EM algorithm applied to data increments, and (3) the online EM algorithm. Our results show that learning from all data at...
