Time Enough - Consequences of Human Microchip Implantation
Dr. Ramesh argues that microchip implantation is both possible and, for some purposes, desirable and suggests that now is the time to consider strategies for preventing potentially grievous intrusion into personal privacy
On the Distribution of the Sum of n Non-Identically Distributed Uniform Random Variables
The distribution of the sum of independent identically distributed uniform
random variables is well-known. However, it is sometimes necessary to analyze
data which have been drawn from different uniform distributions. By inverting
the characteristic function, we derive explicit formulae for the distribution
of the sum of n non-identically distributed uniform random variables in both
the continuous and the discrete case. The results, though involved, have a
certain elegance. As examples, we derive from our general formulae some special
cases which have appeared in the literature.Comment: 20 page
