Fixed-interval performances with added stimuli in monkeys1

Synthesizing concurrent interval performances.

Concurrent schedules may be viewed as consisting of two pairs of stay and switch schedules, each pair associated with one of the alternatives. A stay schedule arranges reinforcers for staying and responding at one alternative, whereas the associated switch schedule arranges reinforcers for switching to the other alternative. In standard concurrent schedules, the stay schedule at each alternativ...

Interval censored regression with fixed effects

This paper considers estimation of a fixed-effects model with an interval-censored dependent variable. In each time period, the researcher observes the interval (with known endpoints) in which the dependent variable lies but not the value of the dependent variable itself. Two versions of the model are considered, a parametric model with logistic errors and a semiparametric model with errors hav...

Invariance Principles for Interval Maps with an Indifferent Fixed Point

In this note we establish an almost sure invariance principle for a large class of interval maps with indifferent fixed points, including the Manneville-Pomeau map. This implies a number of well-known corollaries, including the Weak Invariance Principle and the Law of the Interated Logarithm. 0. Introduction It is a classical problem in ergodic theory to understand the statistical properties of...

Square-root information filtering and fixed-interval smoothing with singularities

The square-root information filter and smoother algorithms have been generalized to handle singular state transition matrices and perfect measurements. This has been done to allow the use of SRIF techniques for problems with delays and state constraints. The generalized algorithms use complete QR factorization to isolate deterministically known parts of the state and nonsingular parts of the st...
