A random sample of curves can be usually thought of as noisy realisations of a compound stochastic process X(t) = Z{W(t)}, where Z(t) produces random amplitude variation and W(t) produces random ...

A k-variate Bernoulli distribution with k + 1 parameters is obtained as a shock model in which shocks are fatal to single components only or to all components simultaneously in a k-component system.

The great expansion of population genetic data using molecular techniques now allows examination of the extent of linkage disequilibrium for many pairs of loci, each locus often with multiple alleles.
