The evaluation of water bodies “at risk” of not achieving the Water Framework Directive's (WFD) goal of “good status” begs the question of how big a risk is acceptable before a programme of measures should be implemented. Documentation of expert judgement and statistical uncertainty in pollution budgets and water quality modelling, combined with Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian belief networks, make it possible to give a probabilistic interpretation of “at risk”. Combined with information on abatement costs, a cost-effective ranking of measures based on expected costs and effect can be undertaken. Combined with economic valuation of water quality, the definition of “disproportionate cost” of abatement measures compared to benefits of achieving “good status” can also be given a probabilistic interpretation. Explicit modelling of uncertainty helps visualize where research and consulting efforts are most critical for reducing uncertainty. Based on data from the Morsa catchment in South-Eastern Norway, this paper discusses the relative merits of using Bayesian belief networks when integrating biophysical modelling results in the benefit-cost analysis of derogations and cost-effectiveness ranking of abatement measures under the WFD.

The asymptotic behaviour of the sequence (𝒞 n (ω), wc,n (ω)/n), is studied where 𝒞 n (ω) is the class of all cycles c occurring along the trajectory ωof a recurrent strictly stationary Markov chain (ξ n ) until time n and wc,n (ω) is the number of occurrences of the cycle c until time n. The previous sequence of sample weighted classes converges almost surely to a class of directed weighted cycles (𝒞∞, ω c ) which represents uniquely the chain (ξ n ) as a circuit chain, and ω c is given a probabilistic interpretation.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the conditional behavior of the multivariate reward process given the number of certain signals where the underlying system is described by a semi-Markov process and the signal is defined by a counting process. To this end, we study the joint behavior of the multivariate reward process and the multivariate counting process in detail. We derive transform results as well as the corresponding real domain expressions, thus providing clear probabilistic interpretation.

We recall five families of polynomials constituting a part of the so-called Askey–Wilson scheme. We do this to expose properties of the Askey–Wilson (AW) polynomials that constitute the last, most complicated element of this scheme. In doing so we express AW density as a product of the density that makes q-Hermite polynomials orthogonal times a product of four characteristic function of q-Hermite polynomials (2.9) just pawing the way to a generalization of AW integral. Our main results concentrate mostly on the complex parameters case forming conjugate pairs. We present new fascinating symmetries between the variables and some newly defined (by the appropriate conjugate pair) parameters. In particular in (3.12) we generalize substantially famous Poisson–Mehler expansion formula (3.16) in which q-Hermite polynomials are replaced by Al-Salam–Chihara polynomials. Further we express Askey–Wilson polynomials as linear combinations of Al-Salam–Chihara (ASC) polynomials. As a by-product we get useful identities involving ASC polynomials. Finally by certain re-scaling of variables and parameters we reach AW polynomials and AW densities that have clear probabilistic interpretation.

The subject of the present paper is an application of quantum probability to [Formula: see text]-adic objects. We give a quantum-probabilistic interpretation of the spherical Hecke algebra for [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-adic field. As a byproduct, we obtain a new proof of the Fourier inversion formula for [Formula: see text].
