The recently discovered SCFA-activated G-coupled protein receptors FFA receptor 2 and FFA receptor 3 are co-localised in L-cells with the anorexigenic ‘ileal brake’ gut hormone peptide YY, and also in adipocytes, with activation stimulating leptin release. Thus, SCFA such as acetate and propionate show promise as a candidate to increase satiety-enhancing properties of food. We therefore postula...

Statistics Oral Exam Notes 2008

(a) complete statistic: T (X) is complete w.r.t. a family P if ∀g : R → R measurable, E[g(T )] = 0 ∀P ∈ P ⇒ g = 0 a.s. w.r.t. P. (b) sufficient statistic:: We define a sub σ-field Σ ⊆ Bn to be sufficient for P (or equivalently, Θ) if ∀A ∈ Bn, ∃fA Σ-measurable s.t. ∀P ∈ P, fA(x) = EP [1A|Σ] a.s. wrt P (i.e. the conditional expectations given Σ is independent of the law of X, P ∈ P).We say T (X) ...

ODE Oral Exam Notes 2008

Theorem 2. Picard-Lindelof existence/uniqueness theorem Suppose f : (I × U) ⊆ (R × R) → R is continuous in (t, y) and uniformly Lipschitz in y. Then ∀(τ, ξ) ∈ (I × U), the ODE [ẏ = f(t, y) with y(τ) = ξ] has a unique solution on {t ∈ I : |t− τ | < α} for some α > 0. Depends on: Completeness of R, Gronwalls lemma (for uniqueness Proof idea: 5 steps: 1. Choose a, b s.t. {t : |t − τ | < a} ⊆ I and...
