In this manuscript we present various robust statistical methods and show how to apply them in R using the WRS2 package. We elaborate on robust location measures and present robust t-test versions for independent and dependent samples. We focus on robust one-way and higher order ANOVA strategies including mixed designs (“betweenwithin subjects”). Finally, we elaborate on running interval smooth...

This memo provides the supporting test plan and results to advance RFC 2679 on one-way delay metrics along the Standards Track, following the process in RFC 6576. Observing that the metric definitions themselves should be the primary focus rather than the implementations of metrics, this memo describes the test procedures to evaluate specific metric requirement clauses to determine if the requi...

This memo provides the supporting test plan and results to advance RFC 2680, a performance metric RFC defining one-way packet loss metrics, along the Standards Track. Observing that the metric definitions themselves should be the primary focus rather than the implementations of metrics, this memo describes the test procedures to evaluate specific metric requirement clauses to determine if the r...

The invention of the one-time pad is generally credited to Gilbert S. Vernam and Joseph O. Mauborgne. We show that it was invented about 35 years earlier by a Sacramento banker named Frank Miller. We identify which Frank Miller it was, and speculate on what might have led him to his idea. We also discuss whether or not Mauborgne might have known of Miller’s work, especially via his colleague Pa...

Here we propose novel methods for the One-Class Classification task and examine their applicability. Essentially, these methods extend the training set – which contains only positive examples – with artificially generated counterexamples. After, a two-class classifier is used to separate them. In this paper following a description of the existing and the newly proposed methods some problematic ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To show that socio-economically dependent cultural bias distorts results of the status quo method of estimating age at first menstruation. METHODS Questionnaires asking for menstrual status and the recalled age at menarche were distributed to approximately 1000 Javanese girls who attended junior and senior high schools in Malang. Age of participants ranged from 11.98 to 18.8...
