mous, 1722), but a memoir prepared by models the operation of a system as a discrete sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system.[1] Between consecutive events, no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation can directly jump in time from one event to the next. This contrasts with continuous simulation in which the simulation continuously tracks the system dynamics over time. Instead of being event-based, this is called an activity-based simulation; time is broken up into small time slices and the system state is updated according to the set of activities happening in the time slice. [2] Because discrete-event simulations do not have to simulate every time slice, they can typically run much faster than the corresponding continuous simulation. Another alternative to event-based simulation is process-based simulation. In this approach, each activity in a system corresponds to a separate process, where a process is typically simulated by a thread in the simulation program. [2]. In this case, the discrete events, which are generated by threads, would cause other threads to sleep, wake, and update the system state. A more recent method is the three-phased approach to discrete event simulation (Pidd, 1998). In this approach, the first phase is to jump to the next chronological event. The second phase is to execute all events that unconditionally occur at that time (these are called B-events). The third phase is to execute all events that conditionally occur at that time (these are called C-events). The three phase approach is a refinement of the event-based approach in which simultaneous events ar

There are two purposes for reading that are examined in this study: questionnaires seek information on the intended and implemented curriculum; the assessment seeks to ascertain what students know.

However, it is possible to define a conditional probability for some zero-probability events using a -algebra of such events (such as those arising from a continuous random variable).[citation needed] For example, in a bag of 2 red balls and 2 blue balls (4 balls in total), the probability of taking a red ball is ; however, when taking a second ball, the probability of it being either a red ball or a blue ball depends on the ball previously taken, such as, if a red ball was taken, the probability of picking a red ball again would be been remaining.

In probability theory and applications, Bayes' rule relates the odds of event to event , before (prior to) and after (posterior to) conditioning on another event . The odds on to event is simply the ratio of the probabilities of the as posterior is proportional to prior times likelihood, the left hand side is proportional to (i where the proportionality symbol means that

"It is designed to measure childrens reading literacy achievement, to provide a baseline for future studies of trends in achievement, and to gather information about childrens home and school experiences in learning to read."[1] PIRLS 2006 tested 215,000 students from 46 educational systems.[1] PIRLS 2011 testing has been done and the results will be ed in discrete-event simulation is that the steady-state distributions of event times may not be known in advance. As a result, the initial set of events placed into the pending event set will not have arrival times representative of the steady-state distribution. This problem is typically solved by bootstrapping the simulation model. Only a limited effort is made to assign realistic times to the initial set of pending events. These events, however, schedule additional events, and with time, the distribution of event times approaches its steady state. This is called bootstrapping the simulation model. In gathering statistics from the running model, it is important to either disregard events that occur before the steady state is reached or to run the simulation for long enough that the bootstrapping behavior is overwhelmed by steady-state behavior. (This use of the term bootstrapping can be contrasted with its use in both statistics and computing.)

Statistics

The simulation typically keeps track of the system's statistics, which quantify the aspects of interest. In the bank example, it is of interest to track the mean waiting times.
Ending condition

Because events are bootstrapped, theoretically a discrete-event simulation could run forever. So the simulation designer must decide when the simulation will end. Typical choices are at time t or after processing n number of events or, more generally, when statistical measure X reaches the value x.
