Also, stochastic networks can be used to model and analysis e.g. the spread of a disease or social networks. | |
| Jan 13, 2010 at 14:48 | comment | added | Douglas Zare | I think riffle shuffles are used in home games, not casinos, at least in games like poker. I would not want to say that casinos greatly care about the mathematically approachable riffle shuffles, unless you can say that it was historical concern with the effectiveness of riffle shuffles which led casinos not to use that method, which I doubt. I would drop that item. | |
