Nelson at Naples

(Open)Mosix Experience in Naples

This document is a short report of the activities carried out by the computing centre of INFN, INFM and Dept. of Physics at University of Naples “Federico II”, concerning the installation, management and usage of HPC Linux clusters running (open)Mosix [1][2]. These activities started on small clusters, running a local copy of the operating system and evolved through the years to a configuration...

Characterisations of Nelson Algebras

Nelson algebras arise naturally in algebraic logic as the algebraic models of Nelson’s constructive logic with strong negation. This note gives two characterisations of the variety of Nelson algebras up to term equivalence, together with a characterisation of the finite Nelson algebras up to polynomial equivalence. The results answer a question of Blok and Pigozzi and clarify some earlier work ...

Nelson–Aalen Estimator

The Nelson–Aalen estimator is a nonparametric estimator which may be used to estimate the cumulative hazard rate function from censored survival data (see Survival Distributions and Their Characteristics). Since no distributional assumptions are needed, one important use of the estimator is to check graphically the fit of parametric models, and this is the reason why it was originally introduce...
