We study the survival probability of a particle that performs a random walk in a medium with traps where the trapping strength V is distributed randomly. We use an approach which is asymptotically exact and brings Wn(s), the number of distinct sites s visited after n steps, into play. Particularly i

The motion of swimming micro-organisms that have a preferred direction of travel, such as single-celled algae moving upwards (gravitaxis) or towards a light source (phototaxis), is modelled as the continuous limit of a correlated and biased random walk as the time step tends to zero. This model lead
This paper outlines the mathematical theory required for eliciting the hyperparameters of a subjective conjugate distribution for the exponential survival model with censoring. The technique involves the quantification of expert knowledge based on determination by the expert of expected fractiles of
