2 Poisson approximation for U - max - statistics
In 1948, W. Hoeffding introduced a large class of unbiased estimators called U -statistics, defined as the average value of a real-valued k-variate function h calculated at all possible sets of k points from a random sample. In the present paper we investigate the corresponding extreme value analogue, which we shall call U -max-statistics. We are concerned with the behavior of the largest value...
متن کاملMethods and Statistics for Combining Motif Match Scores
Position-specific scoring matrices are useful for representing and searching for protein sequence motifs. A sequence family can often be described by a group of one or more motifs, and an effective search must combine the scores for matching a sequence to each of the motifs in the group. We describe three methods for combining match scores and estimating the statistical significance of the comb...
متن کاملAsymptotic theory for statistics of the Poisson-Voronoi approximation
This paper establishes expectation and variance asymptotics for statistics of the Poisson-Voronoi approximation of general sets, as the underlying intensity of the Poisson point process tends to infinity. Statistics of interest include volume, surface area, Hausdorff measure, and the number of faces of lower-dimensional skeletons. We also consider the complexity of the so-called Voronoi zone an...
متن کاملPoisson Statistics
Prior scientific knowledge has shown that the radioactive decay of nuclei can be modeled as a series of independent, random events. [1] The probability for the occurence of such events can thus be modeled by Poisson statistics. In this experiment, we studied the radioactive decay of Cs by using a NaI scintillator. We recorded the counts per second for 100 consecutive one-second long intervals a...
متن کاملWhen are people persuaded by DNA match statistics?
The way in which statistical DNA evidence is presented to legal decision makers can have a profound impact on the persuasiveness of that evidence. Evidence that is presented one way may convince most people that the suspect is almost certainly the source of DNA evidence recovered from a crime scene. However, when the evidence is presented another way, a sizable minority of people equally convin...
