Queueing theory | Markov processes
In probability theory, uniformization method, (also known as Jensen's method or the randomization method) is a method to compute transient solutions of finite state continuous-time Markov chains, by approximating the process by a discrete-time Markov chain. The original chain is scaled by the fastest transition rate γ, so that transitions occur at the same rate in every state, hence the name. The method is simple to program and efficiently calculates an approximation to the transient distribution at a single point in time (near zero). The method was first introduced by Winfried Grassmann in 1977. (Wikipedia).

Central Limit Theorem: Verification using Uniform Distribution with samples in the range of 0 and 10
This script is to verify the Central Limit Theorem in probability theory or statistics. The Central Limit Theorem states that, regardless of the distribution of the population, the sampling distribution of the sample means, assuming all samples are identical in size, will approach a norma
