Randomness
Experiments» Trial: execution of one experiment» Outcome: result of one experiment» Sample space (S): set of all possible outcomes» Sample size (n): number of trials» Not all outcomes the same due to randomness not predictable in a
deterministic sense
Events» Sample space divided into events (A1, A2, A3, …)» Union and intersection of events

Permutations
Permutation – arrangement of objects in a particular order
The number of permutations of n different objects taken all at a time is: n! = 1.2.3. . .n
The number of permutations of n objects divided into c different classes taken all at a time is:

Matlab: Categorical Arrays
Label data in numerical arrays by category (e.g. color, size, species)
Example: flipping 10 coins
>> toss = ceil(2*rand(10,1)) randomly generate an integer = 1 or 210 times
2 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1>> toss = nominal(toss,{'heads','tails'}) form a categorical array
that replaces each value of 1 with ‘heads’ and 2 with ‘tailstails heads tails heads heads heads tails heads heads heads
>> summary(toss) return the number of occurrences of each data label in the categorical array
heads tails

Repeat 100 times and plot data in histogram
>> tosses = nominal(ceil(2*rand(10,100)),{'heads','tails'})
>> T = summary(tosses)
>> hist(T’,9)
