Given a discrete maximization problem with a linear objective function where the coefficients are chosen randomly from a distribution, we would like to evaluate the expected optimal value and the ...

We introduce a family of bivariate discrete distributions whose members are generated by a decreasing mass function p, and with margins given by p. Several properties and examples are obtained, ...

Copulas are functions that enable the construction of multivariate probability distributions by binding together univariate marginal distributions. Central to probability theory, they allow ...
