问题 I am stuck at this problem. I think it is equivalent to show 2m choose m is big theta of 4 to the power n, but still find difficult to prove it. Thanks of @LutzL's suggestion. I thought of stirling's approximation before. 回答1: The O -part should be easy. Choosing exactly n /2 elements out of n is a special case of choosing arbitrary combinations out of n elements, i.e. deciding for each of these n elements whether to choose it or not. The Ω -part is harder. In fact, plotting 4n / binomial(2 n

Scala tail recursive method has an divide and remainder error

旧街凉风 提交于 2021-02-19 07:47:28
问题 I'm currently computing the binomial coefficient of two natural numbers by write a tail recursion in Scala. But my code has something wrong with the dividing numbers, integer division by k like I did as that will give you a non-zero remainder and hence introduce rounding errors. So could anyone help me figure it out, how to fix it ? def binom(n: Int, k: Int): Int = { require(0 <= k && k <= n) def binomtail(n: Int, k: Int, ac: Int): Int = { if (n == k || k == 0) ac else binomtail(n - 1, k - 1,

Confint() with glm {stats} very, very slow

问题 I have a problem with calculating OR confidence intervals from a glm in the latest version of R, but I have not had this issue before. With any glm where family="binomial" , no matter how simple the model is, it will easily allow me to extract the summary and exp(coef(model)), however when I try to extract the confint() or exp(confint(model)) , the "Waiting for profiling to be done..." message is displayed and nothing happens (I've waited up to 10 mins then cancelled the procedure, this

Iterative Binomial Update without Loop

问题 Can this be done without a loop? import numpy as np n = 10 x = np.random.random(n+1) a, b = 0.45, 0.55 for i in range(n): x = a*x[:-1] + b*x[1:] I came across this setup in another question. There it was a covered by a little obscure nomenclature. I guess it is related to Binomial options pricing model but don't quite understand the topic to be honest. I just was intrigued by the formula and this iterative update / shrinking of x and wondered if it can be done without a loop. But I can not

Simplifying the Big-O Complexity of this Exponential Algorithm

问题 I have a counting algorithm for which I am trying to get a general big-o description. It is horribly nested and horribly exponential. Here it is: 1. For each T_i in T 2. For k = 1 to max_k 3. For each of 2^k*(n choose k) items 4. For each t in T_i 5. check if the item is in t...etc. Here is a line-by-line idea of each running time This is a simple partitioning and I'm going to just give it a constant c1. max_k is a small number, always less than n, perhaps around 4 or 5. I will use k below.

Algorithm to find Sum of the first r binomial coefficients for fixed n modulo m

假装没事ソ 提交于 2020-01-01 03:32:07
问题 I am trying to find the sum of the first r binomial coefficients for a fixed n. (nC1 + nC2 + nC3 + ... + nCr) % M where r < = n. Is there an efficient algorithm to solve this problem ? 回答1: Note that the "first" binomial coefficient for fixed n is nC0 . Let f(n) = nC0 + nC1 + ... + nC(r-1) . Using the "Pascal's triangle" identity, nCk = (n-1)C(k-1) + (n-1)Ck we have nC0 + nC1 + nC2 + ... + nC(r-1) = (n-1)C(-1) + (n-1)C0 + (n-1)C0 + (n-1)C1 + (n-1)C1 + (n-1)C2 + ... + (n-1)C(r-2) + (n-1)C(r-1)

What is a good way to implement choose notation in Java?

问题 ... preferably in Java. Here is what I have: //x choose y public static double choose(int x, int y) { if (y < 0 || y > x) return 0; if (y == 0 || y == x) return 1; double answer = 1; for (int i = x-y+1; i <= x; i++) { answer = answer * i; } for (int j = y; j > 1; j--) { answer = answer / j; } return answer; } I'm wondering if there's a better way of doing this? 回答1: choose(n,k) = n! / (n-k)! k! You could do something like this in O(k): public static double choose(int x, int y) { if (y < 0 ||
