Long-memory versus structural breaks: An overview
We discuss the increasing literature on misspecifying structural breaks or more general trends as long range dependence We consider tests on structural breaks in the long memory regression model as well as the behaviour of estimators of the memory parameter when structural breaks or trends are in the data but long memory is not It can be seen that it is hard to distinguish deterministic trends ...
متن کاملThe Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...
متن کاملDigital versus analogue genetic determinism
Relating genotypes to phenotypes is problematic not only owing to the extreme complexity of the interactions between genes, proteins and high-level physiological functions but also because the paradigms for genetic causality in biological systems are seriously confused. This paper examines some of the misconceptions, starting with the changing definitions of a gene, from the cause of phenotype ...
متن کاملAnthropics versus Determinism in Quantum Gravity
Recently the multitude of vacua in string theory have led some authors to advocate the anthropic principle as a possible resolution for the contrived set of parameters that seem to govern our universe. I suggest that string theories should be viewed as effective theories, and hence of limited utility rather than as “theories of everything”. I propose that quantum gravity should admit a form of ...
متن کاملConstraints on determinism: Bell versus Conway–Kochen∗
Bell’s Theorem from 1964 and the (Strong) Free Will Theorem of Conway and Kochen from 2009 both exclude deterministic hidden variable theories (or, in modern parlance, ‘ontological models’) that are compatible with some small fragment of quantum mechanics, admit ‘free’ settings of the archetypal Alice&Bob experiment, and satisfy a locality condition called Parameter Independence. We clarify the...
