Generalized Einstein's Equations from Wald Entropy
Abstract: We derive the gravitational equations of motion of general theories of gravity from thermodynamics applied to a local Rindler horizon through any point in spacetime. Specifically, for a given theory of gravity, we substitute the corresponding Wald entropy into the Clausius relation. Our approach works for all diffeomorphism-invariant theories of gravity in which the Lagrangian is a po...
متن کاملA test statistic equation for obtaining alternative Wald and score statistics in the generalized method of moments framework
In this paper we derive a test statistic generating equation (TSGE) from which several statistics suitable for testing parametric restrictions in models estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM) may be obtained. This statistic presents three main features: it is valid for producing statistics appropriate for testing constraints expressed in very general forms, which may involve not o...
متن کاملA generalized K statistic for estimating phylogenetic signal from shape and other high-dimensional multivariate data.
Phylogenetic signal is the tendency for closely related species to display similar trait values due to their common ancestry. Several methods have been developed for quantifying phylogenetic signal in univariate traits and for sets of traits treated simultaneously, and the statistical properties of these approaches have been extensively studied. However, methods for assessing phylogenetic signa...
متن کاملAbraham Wald
This paper grew out of a lecture presented at the 54th Session of the International Statistical Institute in Berlin, August 13 20, 2003, Schneeweiss (2003). It intends not only to outline the eventful life of Abraham Wald (1902 1950) in Austria and in the United States but also to present his extensive scientific work. In particular, the two main subjects, where he earned most of his fame, are ...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Two-Sample Wald Test of Equality of Variances
We develop a test for equality of variances given two independent random samples of observations. The test can be expected to perform well when both sample sizes are at least moderate and the sample variances are asymptotically equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimators of the population variances. The test is motivated by and is here assessed for the case when both populations sampled are...
