Quantum Simpsons Paradox and High Order Bell-Tsirelson Inequalities
The well-known Simpson’s Paradox, or Yule-Simpson Effect, in statistics is often illustrated by the following thought experiment: A drug may be found in a trial to increase the survival rate for both men and women, but decrease the rate for all the subjects as a whole. This paradoxical reversal effect has been found in numerous datasets across many disciplines, and is now included in most intro...
متن کاملA Regression Paradox for Linear Models: Sufficient Conditions and Relation to Simpsons Paradox
An analysis of customer survey data using direct and reverse linear regression leads to inconsistent conclusions with respect to the effect of a group variable. This counterintuitive phenomenon, called the “regression paradox,” causes seemingly contradictory group effects when the predictor and regressand are interchanged. Using analytical developments as well as geometric arguments, we describ...
متن کاملGalactic archaeology: IMF and depletion in the “thin disk”
We determine the initial mass function (IMF) of the “thin disk” by means of a direct comparison between synthetic stellar samples (for different matching choices of IMF, star formation rate SFR and depletion) and a complete (volume-limited) sample of single stars near the galactic plane (|z| < 25pc), selected from the Hipparcos catalogue (d < 100pc, MV < +4.0). Our synthetic samples are compute...
متن کاملA Delayed Yule Process
In now classic work, David Kendall (1966) recognized that the Yule process and Poisson process could be related by a (random) time change. Furthermore, he showed that the Yule population size rescaled by its mean has an almost sure exponentially distributed limit as t → ∞. In this note we introduce a class of coupled delayed continuous time Yule processes parameterized by 0 < α ≤ 1 and find a r...
متن کاملYule Process Sample Path Asymptotics
This paper presents two results on sample paths for the Yule process: one fluid limit theorem and one sample path large deviation result. The main interest is to understand the way large deviation occurs in the case of non-homogeneous processes. There are indeed two new phenomena. First there is no “typical” speed of large deviation. Second, the large deviation event is concentrated on a finite...
