What Does a Random Contingency Table Look Like?
Let R = (r1, . . . , rm) and C = (c1, . . . , cn) be positive integer vectors such that r1 + . . .+ rm = c1 + . . .+ cn. We consider the set Σ(R, C) of non-negative m × n integer matrices (contingency tables) with row sums R and column sums C as a finite probability space with the uniform measure. We prove that a random table D ∈ Σ(R, C) is close with high probability to a particular matrix (“t...
متن کاملWhat does freedom look like?
Anyone who wishes to think about human decision-making must presuppose that it really exists – that is, that man is free. Not without his limitations, of course, but still free enough to be able to make decisions. But saying man is free doesn’t get us very far: what, we must ask, does that great freedom of ours consist in? While philosophers may have largely given up asking the question what fr...
متن کاملWhat Does a Hidden Variable Look Like?∗
The hidden-variable question is whether or not correlations that are observed in the outcomes of an experiment can be explained via introduction of additional (“hidden”) variables which are unobserved by the experimenter. The question arises most famously in quantum mechanics (QM), but can also be asked in the classical realm. The nature of the experiment will tell us how to model the observabl...
متن کاملWhat Does Genetic Randomness Look Like?
What are the observable consequences of randomness? This question has been asked in all disciplines where random processes affect significantly, or even entirely, those phenomena being studied. It arose in evolutionary genetics in the late 19605 when it was claimed that most of the genetic variation in natural populations, which was then being observed for the first time in detail, does not hav...
