A Brief Introduction of our Motive!
We are a group of probability and statistics enthusiasts, majorly aiming to spread and convey our love and knowledge for the subject, trying to showcase and furnish some of the beauty of the above two disciplines.
Why Probability Space?
This is a small initiative by us to integrate all probability lovers and to create a platform for research and discussion open to all interested folks. Research proposals or problems in the field of probability or measure theory are welcome. Feel free to reach out to us as we are quite keen to learn more and work together as a team to reach a standpoint.
We plan to arrange periodical seminars, paper presentations, and quizzes to stimulate and hone our outlook towards research. Further down the line, apart from being the holy grail of innovation in probabilistic thinking, we collectively aim to decipher unsolved conundrums in this field.
Yeah, it indeed demands great exertion and is quite long-drawn but we sincerely hope for a lovely collaborative experience, as we are more interested in the journey rather than the destination! But what is the destination anyway?
As a wise man once said, “A reasonable probability is the only certainty”.
Cheers!

Measuring Chances and Coincidences
Coincidence Statistics - A Non-Formal Approach to Probability! As Maxwell puts it straight : “The true logic of this world is in the calculus of probabilities”. When we talk literature, we mean literature only. No need to bring up bookish terms to define probability! To put this in a simpler way, think of the following scenario : Suppose some dark night a policeman walks down a street, apparently deserted; but suddenly he hears a burglar alarm, looks across the street, and sees a jewellery store with a broken window.

Human revolutionized and extended her/is restrictions on perception to natural phenomenon, when s/he started thinking about chances. We already know what crucial roles chances play when we cross the road on a busy traffic or while playing a game of 29 (card game), you show a card expecting your opponent doesn’t show the joker (card with highest points) of the same color. Hold on ! did I say “expecting”? So how about discussing a problem on how we actually quantify what we are actually expecting when uncertainty is playing her mighty tricks ?

The Banach-Tarski Paradox
This is our first webinar, where Prof. Arnab Chakraborty of Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata will be speaking on ‘The Banach Tarski Paradox’. Have we ever wondered, why the axiom of “Countable Additivity” is so crucial while defining Probability Measure (or while extending any finite measure)? In our opening webinar, we will hear about the usung significance of Countable Additivity through one of the most perplexing paradoxes.
