✦ Synopsis

We propose a simple P61ya-variety urn model for calculating paradox-of-voting probabilities. The model contains a homogeneity parameter, and for specific values of this parameter the model reduces to cases previously discussed in the literature. We derive a Dirichlet family of distributions for describing the assignment of preference profiles in large committees, and we show how the homogeneity parameter relates to measures of similarity among voters, suggested in prior studies.

One approach in the stochastic modelling of rainfall is to derive a distribution function which has physically meaningful parameters. Such a distribution is derived from a Poisson process of rainfall occurrence with an independent exponentially distributed rainfall amount. The distribution appears t
