Abstract. MAP estimators and HPD credible sets are often criticized in the literature because of paradoxical behaviour due to a lack of invariance under reparametrization. In this paper, we propose a new version of MAP estimators and HPD credible sets that avoid this undesirable feature. Moreover, in the special case of non-informative prior, the new MAP estimators coincide with the invariant f...

Prediction accuracy of pharmacokinetic parameters is often assessed using prediction fold error, i.e., being within 2-, 3-, or n-fold of observed values. However, published studies disagree on which fold error represents an accurate prediction. In addition, "observed data" from only one clinical study are often used as the gold standard for in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) studies, des...

I propose a theory of the passive that combines aspects of the principles and parameters analysis (no specific rules, no downward movement) and Chomsky’s (1957) Syntactic Structures analysis (the arguments in the passive are generated in the same positions as they are in the active).

A large number of molecular mechanisms exist to ensure the continued function of perturbed cells. Here we explore a range of mechanisms of molecular robustness. A theory of robustness is proposed in which mechanisms are classified into those that purge damage, and those that buffer damage. The strategy upon which a system settles, is a function of the cost of purgation, and thereby a function o...

In FUPC, we further e m p l o y parameters of token-change rate and anterarnval tame of zncomzng cells as znput languastac va...

? This article aims to analyse the importance of the Wikipedia articles in different languages (English, French, Russian, Polish) and the impact of the importance on the quality of articles. Based on the analysis of literature and our own experience we collected measures related to articles, specifying various aspects of quality that will be used to build the models of articles importance. For ...

This paper concerns the reconstruction of the absorption and scattering parameters in a time-dependent linear transport equation from knowledge of angularly averaged measurements performed at the boundary of a domain of interest. We show that the absorption coefficient and the spatial component of the scattering coefficient are uniquely determined by such measurements. We obtain stability resul...

A via is experimentally characterized by using highfrequency s-parameter measurements. Test patterns are designed and fabricated by using a package process. They are measured by using VNA (vector network analyzer) up to 25GHz. The parasitic effects due to access lines for on-wafer probing are deembedded. Then modeling the via as two equivalent circuits (Ttype and Pi-type), the circuit model par...

In this paper we compute the N-point correlation functions of the tachyon operator from the Neveu Schwarz sector of super Liouville theory coupled to matter fields (with ĉ ≤ 1) in the super Coulomb gas formulation, on world sheets with spherical topology. We first integrate over the zero mode assuming that the s parameter takes an integer value, subsequently we continue the parameter to an arbi...
