In analysis of algorithms, probabilistic analysis of algorithms is an approach to estimate the computational complexity of an algorithm or a computational problem. It starts from an assumption about a probabilistic distribution of the set of all possible inputs. This assumption is then used to design an efficient algorithm or to derive the complexity of a known algorithm. This approach is not the same as that of probabilistic algorithms, but the two may be combined. For non-probabilistic, more specifically, for deterministic algorithms, the most common types of complexity estimates are the average-case complexity (expected time complexity) and the almost always complexity. To obtain the average-case complexity, given an input distribution, the expected time of an algorithm is evaluated, whereas for the almost always complexity estimate, it is evaluated that the algorithm admits a given complexity estimate that almost surely holds. In probabilistic analysis of probabilistic (randomized) algorithms, the distributions or averaging for all possible choices in randomized steps are also taken into an account, in addition to the input distributions. ==See also== *Amortized analysis *Average-case complexity *Best, worst and average case *Random self-reducibility 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「probabilistic analysis of algorithms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
