Based on the classical Nagel–Schreckenberg model, we in this paper propose an improved cellular automaton (CA) model to study the influences of a multi-point tollbooth on traffic flow. The numerical results show that the multi-point tollbooth can be looked at as a bottleneck and that it can...

We obtain a noninformative prior measure for the p parameter of the negative binomial distribution by use of a group theoretic method. Heretofore, group theoretic inference methods have not been applicable in the case of discrete distributions. A linear representation of a group leads to...
