Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For this Special Issue, we seek original, previously unpublished research papers of high quality in the field of applied probability and stochastic processes. Contributions on relevant aspects of current topics in the general theory of probability and stochastic processes are welcome, as are those dealing specifically with the modelling of uncertainty, imprecise probabilities, or fuzzy probabilities. Contributions dealing with the application of the theories of probability and stochastic processes to the solution of real-world problems are particularly welcome.

Submissions must have sufficient mathematical depth, be rigorous and systematic, be clearly presented, and be written in correct English. There are no restrictions on the length of papers or the use of colored figures and diagrams.

Dr. Damjan Škulj

In this paper, we present research results that extend and supplement our article recently published by MDPI. We derive the closed-form relations among the queue-length probabilities observed in the pre-arrival, random, and post-departure epochs for a complex, bulk-service, multi-server queueing system GI/M [...] Read more.

This paper introduces the Lomax-exponentiated odds ratio–G (L-EOR–G) distribution, a novel framework designed to adeptly navigate the complexities of modern datasets. It blends theoretical rigor with practical application to surpass the limitations of traditional models in capturing complex data attributes such as heavy tails, shaped curves, and multimodality. Through a comprehensive examination of its theoretical foundations and empirical data analysis, this study lays down a systematic theoretical framework by detailing its statistical properties and validates the distribution’s efficacy and robustness in parameter estimation via Monte Carlo simulations. Empirical evidence from real-world datasets further demonstrates the distribution’s superior modeling capabilities, supported by compelling various goodness-of-fit tests. The convergence of theoretical precision and practical utility heralds the L-EOR–G distribution as a groundbreaking advancement in statistical modeling, significantly enhancing precision and adaptability. The new model not only addresses a critical need within statistical modeling but also opens avenues for future research, including the development of more sophisticated estimation methods and the adaptation of the model for various data types, thereby promising to refine statistical analysis and interpretation across a wide array of disciplines.

In this paper, we investigate the Green measure for a class of non-Gaussian processes in Rd. These measures are associated with the family of generalized grey Brownian motions Bβ,α, 0<β1, 0<α2. This family includes both fractional Brownian motion, Brownian motion, and other non-Gaussian processes. We show that the perpetual integral exists with probability 1 for dα>2 and 1<α2. The Green measure then generalizes those measures of all these classes. Full article

This study investigates the dynamics of three discrete independent events occurring randomly and repeatedly within the interval [0,T]. Each event spans a predetermined fraction γ of the total interval length T before concluding. Three independent continuous random variables represent the starting times of these events, uniformly distributed over the time interval [0,T]. By employing a geometric probability approach, we derive a rigorous closed-form expression for the probability of the joint occurrence of these three events, taking into account various values of the fraction γ. Additionally, we determine the expected value of the intersection duration of the three events within the time interval [0,T]. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive solution for evaluating the expected number of trials required for the simultaneous occurrence of these events. Numerous numerical examples support the theoretical analysis presented in this paper, further validating our findings. Full article
