Laurence Barron: The founding father of Raman optical activity

Laurence D. Barron (Fig. 1) was born in Southampton (United Kingdom) in 1944. He studied Chemistry at the Northern Polytechnic and graduated with a first class honours degree from London University (internal) in 1965. He went on to study for his doctoral degree at Lincoln College (Oxford University) under the supervision of Prof. Peter W. Atkins. At Oxford, he discovered a new fundamental light...

Consistency of φ-divergence errors of Barron density estimates

Our research is motivated by the need of using nonparametric density estimates foroptimization of the switching rules in the nods of telecommunication and computer networks.One of the applications in this area is to estimate tail probabilities of an unknown distribution.Thus, we need estimates as much precise as possible particularly in the tail areas. The Barronestimator, defin...

Multiattribute Evaluation Reference Effects: A Reply to Barron and John

In a recent paper, Yates and Jagacinski (1979) presented evidence for what was referred to as a "reference effect" in the process by which people evaluate multiattribute alternatives. Barton and John (1980) argue that it is inappropriate to characterize the observed phenomenon as a reference effect. We wish to take this opportunity to clarify what the issues are and what the data and analyses o...
