It has long been recognized that cardiac autonomic neuropathy increases morbidity and mortality in diabetes and may have greater predictive power than traditional risk factors for cardiovascular events. Significant morbidity and mortality can now be attributable to autonomic imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system regulation of cardiovascular function. New and emerg...

Let Xi be non-negative, independent random variables with finite expectation, and X∗ n = max{X1, . . . , Xn}. The value EX∗ n is what can be obtained by a “prophet”. A “mortal” on the other hand, may use k ≥ 1 stopping rules t1, . . . , tk, yielding a return of E[maxi=1,...,k Xti ]. For n ≥ k the optimal return is V n k (X1, . . . , Xn) = supE[maxi=1,...,k Xti ] where the supremum is over all s...
