The model not only underpredicts civil war onsets, but it also had inconsistent success in its point predictions. It points to 1960-61 as the years Chad was most vulnerable to a civil war (over six percent probability for each of these years). Yet the first civil was onset was not until 1965 when the odds were a bit over one percent, about two-thirds the world average. Although the model does n...

1. Teichm uller space and the Teichm uller metric d(X; Y) = inf(1=2) log K(), where : X ! Y ranges over all quasiconformal mappings in the appropriate isotopy class. 2. Teichm uller's theorem: If X is compact, or more generally if X is obtained from a compact Riemann surface by removing a nite number of points, then there is an essentially map f minimizing the innmum above. (This map is unique ...

A lower bound on sample complexity through VC-dimension. Cover's coin problem. 10.2 A lower bound on the sample complexity through VC-dimension In previous lectures it has been shown that the VC-dimension of a concept class gives an upper bound on the number of samples needed to PAC-learn concepts from the class. In particular it has been shown that for VC-dimension d it is possible to PAC-lear...

Authentication is the process by which the identity of an entity is established. Authenticating entities present credentials, such as passwords or certificates, as evidence of their identity. The entity is deemed authentic where presented credentials are valid and sufficient. Note that authentication does not determine which entities should be given access, but only verifies that an entity is w...
