Small M-theories unify various models of a given family in the same way as the M-theory unifies a variety of superstring models. We consider this idea in application to the family of eigenvalue matrix models: their M-theory unifies various branches of Hermitean matrix model (including Dijkgraaf-Vafa partition functions) with Kontsevich τ-function. Moreover, the corresponding duality relations l...

introduction: marital burnout can be considered both an underlying factor for serious martial problems and a consequence of these problems. the present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the emotionally-focused couple therapy (efct) and the problem-centered systems therapy of the family (pcstf) on marital burnout in spouses of recovering addicts. methods: the present quasi-ex...

MOTIVATION In recent years, work has been carried out on clustering gene expression microarray data. Some approaches are developed from an algorithmic viewpoint whereas others are developed via the application of mixture models. In this article, a family of eight mixture models which utilizes the factor analysis covariance structure is extended to 12 models and applied to gene expression microa...

In this paper we mirror the framework of generalized (non-)linear models to define the family of generalized age-period-cohort stochastic mortality models which encompasses the vast majority of stochastic mortality projection models proposed to date, including the well-known Lee-Carter and Cairns-Blake-Dowd models. We also introduce the R package StMoMo which exploits the unifying framework of ...
