The Xenotext Experiment

Poet Admits // Mute Cypher: Beam Search to find Mutually Enciphering Poetic Texts

The Xenotext Experiment implants poetry into an extremophile’s DNA, and uses that DNA to generate new poetry in a protein form. The molecular machinery of life requires that these two poems encipher each other under a symmetric substitution cipher. We search for ciphers which permit writing under the Xenotext constraints, incorporating ideas from cipher-cracking algorithms, and using n-gram dat...

The Effect of Experiment Range of Control Variables on the Efficiency of Regression Modeling

The efficient planning of each system requires an understanding of the true nature of the system. Regression models also represent a system that its input variables, the role of the system input, its variables coefficients, the role of the system process, and its response variables, play the role of the system output. Therefore, for exact regression modeling and efficient planning, it's essenti...

An Introduction to Natural Experiment Studies

در دو سخن سردبیری شماره‌های قبل به مطالعات مداخله‌ای (Interventional and/or experimental studies) [1] و مطالعات نیمه تجربی (studies Quasi-experiment) [2] پرداختیم. همان جا، به این نکته اشاره کردیم که برای اندازه‌گیری کارآیی یک دارو، واکسن، برنامه بهداشت عمومی و متغیرهای دیگری از این دست، مطالعات مداخله‌ای بهترین گزینه هستند. تقسیم تصادفی و کورسازی از مؤلفه‌های اساسی یک مطالعه مداخله‌ای است [1]....
