We develop a general approach to robust inference about a scalar parameter of interest when the data is potentially heterogeneous and correlated in a largely unknown way. The key ingredient is the following result of Bakirov and Székely (2005)…

This on-line textbook introduces many of the basics of formal approaches to the analysis of social networks. The text relies heavily on the work of Freeman, Borgatti, and Everett (the authors of the UCINET software package). The materials here, and…

Biologists usually refer to mammals and birds as homeotherms, but these animals universally experience regional and temporal variations in body temperature. These variations could represent adaptive strategies of heterothermy, which in turn would…

The European Commission Communication on telemedicine1 highlighted not only the potential of telehealth in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but also the pressing need for good-quality research in this field. COPD…

(from the jacket) This book . . . reveals how to identify deceit. By knowing what to look for in other's faces, voices, bodies, and words, we can detect leakages and deception clues that indicate lies. Dr. Ekman also sheds new light on the…

Landscape transformation by humans is virtually ubiquitous, with several suggestions being made that the world's biomes should now be classified according to the extent and nature of this transformation. Even those areas that are thought to have a…

Temporal variation in species abundances occurs in all ecological communities. Here, we explore the role that this temporal turnover plays in maintaining assemblage diversity. We investigate a three-decade time series of estuarine fishes and show…

A data structure called a PQ-tree is introduced. PQ-trees can be used to represent the permutations of a set U in which various subsets of U occur consecutively. Efficient algorithms are presented for manipulating PQ-trees. Algorithms using PQ-trees…

In 1974 Catmull developed a new algorithm for rendering images of bivariate surface patches. This paper describes extensions of this algorithm in the areas of texture simulation and lighting models. The parametrization of a patch defines a…

An increasing number of scholars are using longitudinal social network data to try to obtain estimates of peer or social influence effects. These data may provide additional statistical leverage, but they can introduce new inferential problems. In…

Google's success derives in large part from its PageRank algorithm, which ranks the importance of web pages according to an eigenvector of a weighted link matrix. Analysis of the PageRank formula provides a wonderful applied topic for a linear…

Many taxa of both marine and freshwater zooplankton perform diel vertical migrations with amplitudes from a few to 100 metres (Hutchinson, 1967). The 'normal' pattern is an evening ascent and a morning descent, though several cases of 'reversed'…

The anesthesia information management system (AIMS) will be part of the future of healthcare. An electronic medical records system or AIMS will provide clear and concise information and have the potential to integrate information across the entire…

Motorcycle collisions by their very nature are difficult at best to analyze and/or reconstruct. Motorcycles come in as many different types, models and styles as do passenger vehicles and trucks. The inherent problems of load changes and…

This typology of biological affects is based on developmental-interactionist theory of motivation, emotion, and cognition. Affects-subjectively experienced feelings and desires-involve interoceptive perceptual systems based on primordial molecules…

Limiting distributions are derived for the sparse connected components that are present when a random graph on n vertices has approximately half n edges. In particular, we show that such a graph consists entirely of trees, unicyclic components, and…

Digital fingerprinting is a forensic method against illegal copying. The distributor marks each individual copy with a unique fingerprint. If an illegal copy appears, it can be traced back to one or more guilty pirates due to this fingerprint. To…

The Bubble regime of electron acceleration in ultra-relativistic laser plasma is considered. It has been shown that the bubble can produce ultra-short dense bunches of electrons with quasi-monoenergetic energy spectra. The first experiment in this…

(from the chapter) The purpose of this chapter is not to renew the cognition-emotion debate, but to interpret it in the context of history and the author's emotion theory. Topics discussed include the classical origins of the debate, issues raised…

A first polynomial time algorithm for the computation of the jump number of a convex bipartite graph is presented. The algorithm uses dynamic programming methods
