2 Statistical Models in Simulation Real World phenomena of interest Sample phenomena select distribution Probabilistic, not deterministic Model test goodness of fit
3 Terminology/Concepts in Probability and Statistics Discrete Random Variables (X) The number of possible values of X is finite or countably infinite Eample 5.1: The number of jobs arriving at a shop each week Number of jobs in a given week: X Possible values of X: The range space of X, R X = {1,2,3, } The probability that the R.V. X takes on the value i p( i ) is the probability that the R.V. X equals i all event probabilities are non-negative probabilities measure proportion of event occurrences p ( ) = PX ( = ) p ( ) 0 i= 1 i i p ( ) = 1 i i i
4 Discrete Random Variables Eample 5.2: Testing a single die R X ={1,2,3,4,5,6} Assume the die is loaded, with the probability of a given face showing proportional to the number of spots i p( i ) 1/21 2/21 3/21 4/21 5/21 6/21 probability mass function (p.m.f) p() 6/21 5/21 4/21 3/21 2/21 1/
5 Continuous Random Variables The Range Space R X of the random variable X is an interval or collection of intervals b Pa ( X b) = f( d ) a f() is the probability density function (p.d.f.) The p.d.f. is nonzero within the Range Space The total area under the p.d.f. represents all possible events The p.d.f. is zero outside the Range Space f( ) 0 R R X f( d ) = 1 f( ) = 0 R X X
6 Probability of events in an interval f() =a =b b b a Pa ( < X < b) = f( d ) = f( d ) f( d ) a
7 Continuous Random Variables Eponential distribution with mean m Eponential distribution f( ) = 1 / m e 0 m 0 otherwise m := 2 f( ) := 1 m e m := 0, m 0.6 f( ) MathCad
8 Cumulative Distribution Function Measures probability that the R.V. X assumes a value less than or equal to for discrete R.V. for continuous R.V. Properties of F( ): F( ) = p ( i ) F( ) = ftdt () i a< b Fa ( ) Fb ( ) lim F( ) = 1 lim F( ) = 0
9 C.D.F. Eamples Loaded die i (-8,1) [1,2) [2,3) [3,4) [4,5) [5,6) [6, 8) p( i ) 0 1/21 3/21 6/21 10/21 15/21 21/21 probability mass function (p.m.f) p() 21/21 15/21 10/21 5/
10 C.D.F. Eamples Eponential distribution 1 F ( ) = e dt = 1 e m 0 t/ m / m F( ) t 1 m := e dt m = 2 m 0 eponential distribution is easily evaluated, making it very popular for closed form solutions F( )
11 Useful Parameters of R.V.s Epected Value if X is a R.V., the Epected Value (Epectation) is: Discrete case: E( X) = p i ( i) i Continuous case: E( X) = f( ) d E(X) is also called the mean, µ, or the 1 st moment of X E(X n ) is the n th moment of X n n E( X ) = i p ( i) i n n E( X ) = f ( ) d
12 More Useful Parameters of R.V.s Variance ( [ ]) 2 V( X) = E X E X = var( X) = σ [ ] V X EX E X 2 ( ) = ( ) ( ) 2 2 Standard deviation σ = V( X) Mode - the value that occurs most often (discrete) or peak of p.d.f. (continuous). Bimodality - two peaks in the p.d.f.

18 Discrete Distributions Bernoulli trials and binomial distributions Consider an eperiment (e.g., flipping a coin, receiving a bit) consisting of n trials which can be a success (1) or failure (0) The n Bernoulli trials are called a Bernoulli process if the trials are independent For one trial, the Bernoulli distribution is: p =1 p ( ) = 1 p= q =0 0 otherwise Binomial distribution: The number of successes in a Bernoulli process has a binomial distribution n pq n =0,1,2,...n p ( ) = 0 otherwise
19 Discrete Distributions Geometric distribution The number of Bernoulli trials before the first success p ( ) = q 1 p =1,2,... 0 otherwise Poisson distribution Models arrival processes in queuing systems quite well One of the few distributions that makes the mathematics tractable mean and variance = α e α α =0,1,2,... p ( ) =! 0 otherwise
20 Continuous Distributions Eponential distribution Model completely random interarrival times Model highly variable service times λ is a rate: service rate, arrival rate Distribution has long tail, useful for modeling component lifetime. λ is failure rate λ λe 0 f( ) = 0 otherwise
21 Continuous Distributions Uniform distribution Easiest distribution to generate, serves as a basis for other R.V.s in simulation Uniform p.d.f.: 1 a b f( ) = b-a 0 otherwise Uniform distribution a := 1 b := 1 1 f( ) := if a b,, 0 b a := a 1, a b f( )
22 Continuous Distributions Gamma distribution Gamma function: Γ ( β) = Γ ( β) = ( β 1) Γ( β 1) If β is an integer, Γ( β)=( β-1)! 0 β 1 e d Gamma pdf: βθ f( ) = Γ( β ) β 1 βθ ( βθ ) e > 0 0 otherwise β is shape parameter, θ is scale parameter when β is integer, Gamme distribution is related to eponential distribution: If the R.V. X is the sum of β independent, eponentially distributed R.V.s, each with parameter βθ, then X has a Gamma distribution with parameters β and θ
23 Continuous Distributions Erlang distibution The Gamma p.d.f. is also known as the Erlang distribution of order k when β=k, an integer With the block calls dropped, eponential arrival rates and eponential holding times assumptions, the Erlang distribution is used to predict the number of busy trunks in a telephone system.
24 Continuous Distributions Normal distribution (Gaussian distribution) mean µ, variance σ 2 2 f ( ) = σ 1 2π e 1 µ 2 σ Normal distribution σ := 1 µ := 0 f( ) 1 := σ 2 π 1 2 e µ σ 2 := µ 4 σ, µ 4 σ µ + 4 σ 0.4 f( )
25 Continuous Distributions Weibull distribution β 1 υ β β υ α e υ f ( ) = α α 0 otherwise location parameter ν, scale parameter α, shape parameter β This distribution is a general case of many other distributions, e.g., with β=1 this is the eponential distribution with λ=1/α
26 Continuous Distributions Weibull distribution with ν=0 α := 1 f( β, ) := β α α β 1 α e β := 0, f (.5, ) f( 1, ) f( 2, ) f( 4, ) Error in tet book, figure 5.20: α=1, not.5
27 Continuous Distributions Rayleigh Distribution Special case of Weibull distribution with α=2 β 1 β β ν ν ep f ( ) = ν 0 otherwise used to model multipath fading, radiation, wind speeds
28 Continuous Distributions Triangular distribution Triangular distribution 2( a) a b ( b a)( c a) 2( c ) f ( ) = b< c ( c b)( c a) 0 elsewhere a := 1 b := 1.5 c := 3.7 ( a) ( c ) f( ) := if a b, 2, if b < c, 2, 0 ( b a) ( c a) ( c b) ( c a) := a 2, a c f( )
29 Continuous Distributions Lognormal distribution 2 (ln µ ) 2 2σ > f( ) = 1 e 2πσ 0 0 otherwise Shadow fading is often modeled as a lognormal process
30 Poisson Process A counting process {N(t), t=0} is a Poisson process with mean rate λ if arrivals occur singly {N(t), t=0} has stationary increments: The distribution of the number of arrivals between t and t+s depends only on s, the length of the interval, and not on t, the starting point {N(t), t=0} has independent increments: The number of arrivals during nonoverlapping time intervals are independent R.V.s λt n e ( λt) PNt [ () = n] = for t 0 and n= 0,1,2,... n!
31 Poisson Process Properties of a Poisson Process Random splitting A Poisson process {N(t), t=0} having rate λ Each time an event occurs, it is arbitrarily be classified as either a type I (with probability p, N 1 (t)) or type II (with probability 1-p, N 2 (t)) event N 1 (t) and N 2 (t) are retain the property of being Poisson processes having rates λp and λ(1-p) Pooling of two arrival streams Given two independent Poisson processes N(t)=N 1 (t)+n 2 (t) is a Poisson process with rate λ 1 +λ 2
32 Known vs. Empirical Distributions Real World phenomena of interest Sample phenomena select distribution Model test goodness of fit Situation A: You understand the processes that create random variability in observed phenomena. Pick the proper distribution, adjust parameters, and verify fit to data Situation B: You do not fully understand (or don t really care, or don t have the time to analyze) the processes that create random variability. Either use sampled data to form an empirical distribution pick a known distribution that is the best approimation
33 Homework 5 1. If you haven t turned in HW4 (or even if you have and want to change your input), redo it with the listing I ed 2. Simulate (using whatever means available to you: e.g., C, Ecel, Matlab, MathCad, pencil and paper, etc.), 100 samples of a R.V. as listed below.
