In the literature on change-point analysis, much attention has been paid to detecting changes in certain marginal characteristics, such as mean, variance, and marginal distribution. For time series data with nonparametric time trend, we study the change-point problem for the autocovariance structure of the unobservable error process. To derive the asymptotic distribution of the cumulative sum t...

The simultaneous-sequential method was used to test the processing capacity of establishing mean orientation summaries. Four clusters of oriented Gabor patches were presented in the peripheral visual field. One of the clusters had a mean orientation that was tilted either left or right, whereas the mean orientations of the other three clusters were roughly vertical. All four clusters were prese...

In this paper the bimatrix variate beta type IV distribution is derived from independent Wishart distributed matrix variables. We explore specific properties of this distribution which is then used to derive the exact expressions of the densities of the product and ratio of two dependent Wilks’s statistics and to define the bimatrix Kummer-beta type IV distribution.

casimir forces of massive ferrnionic dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. it is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields casimir force for each degree of freedom. we argue this equality ex...

Person-fit statistics test whether the likelihood of a respondent's complete vector of item scores on a test is low given the hypothesized item response theory model. This binary information may be insufficient for diagnosing the cause of a misfitting item-score vector. The authors propose a comprehensive methodology for person-fit analysis in the context of nonparametric item response theory. ...

The existing systems of sustainability assessment include about 140 private indicators. Their calculation is based on extensive source material. They are generally sufficiently representative and objective, but the calculation is possible only for a limited number of countries where the system of collecting and maintaining of statistical data on various aspects of life (economic, social, enviro...

Using a coset version of the cubic Dirac operators for affine Lie algebras, we give an algebraic construction of the Dirac induction homomorphism for loop group representations. With this we prove a homogeneous generalization of the Weyl–Kac character formula and show compatibility with Dirac induction for compact Lie groups.

We consider limiting Carleman weights for Dirac operators and prove corresponding Carleman estimates. In particular, we show that harmonic functions can be considered as limiting Carleman weights for Dirac operators. As an application we consider the inverse problem of recovering a Lipschitz continuous magnetic field and electric potential from boundary measurements for the Pauli Dirac operator.
