Probability Theory Lab (Masato Takei)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses probability theory to explore the behavior of random walks.

AboutAbout the lab
Seeking the laws behind motion that looks random.
Professor Masato Takei's probability theory lab uses the mathematics of probability theory to study the laws followed by things that seem, at first glance, to move at random.
His fields of specialization are given as random walks and percolation in the faculty profile, and as lattice probability models and stochastic processes in the graduate school's faculty list.
In recent years, he has been pursuing research out of interest in the behavior of random walks in which past history affects future movement.
Key terms
- Probability theory
- The mathematics that explains the laws followed by seemingly random phenomena when many instances are gathered together
- Random walk
- A mathematical model that describes random motion. This lab studies the case where past history has an influence
ResearchResearch themes
Probability theory is the mathematics that explains the laws that emerge when many instances of seemingly random phenomena are gathered together. The lab's fields of specialization are random walks and percolation.
