the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولThe Uniform Prior Bayes Estimate
For the Gaussian sequence model Xi = μi + σZi, i = 1, 2, · · · , n, where Zi are iid standard normal, and σ is considered known, we give three equivalent exact formulas for the posterior mean of the mean vector μ = (μ1, · · · , μn) when μ has a uniform prior distribution in an n-dimensional solid ball of a general radius c. The exact formulas have interesting and even curious connections to non...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولBayes Factor 1 Running head: BAYES FACTOR A Bayes Factor Calculation for Accepting the Null Hypothesis
Progress in science often comes from discovering invariances in the relationship between variables. Invariances correspond to null hypotheses. As is commonly known, it is not possible to accumulate evidence for the null hypothesis in conventional significance testing. We highlight a Bayes factor alternative to the t-test for accumulating evidence for either the null or alternative hypotheses. T...
متن کاملA simple Bayes factor for testing measurement-theoretic axioms
A lot of models used to represent preferences or other relations have been characterized in the framework of measurement theory. To assess the empirical validity of one of these models, we can either test the model itself or test the axioms characterizing it. When a model is rejected, the latter approach has the advantage of indicating why it is rejected. The available statistical techniques fo...
