In regression diagnostics, the case deletion model (CDM) and the mean shift outlier model (MSOM) are commonly used in practice. In this paper we show that the estimates of CDM and MSOM are equal in a wide class of statistical models, which include LSE, MLE, Bayesian estimate and M-estimate in linear and nonlinear regression models; MLE in generalized linear models and exponential family nonline...

As the famous Rolling Stone’s song goes: “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need”. What we want, and what we need are sometimes quite different things. In some ways, this may epitomize the United Nations’ Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a market based mechanism that creates a way for developed countries and companies to offset...

We resolve the inner region of a massive cluster forming in a cosmological ΛCDM simulation with a mass resolution of 2 × 106M⊙ and before z=4.4 even 3 × 10 5M⊙. This is a billion times less than the clusters final virial mass and a substantial increase over current ΛCDM simulations. We achieve this resolution using a new multi-mass refinement procedure and are now able to probe a dark matter ha...

IntroductIon The Clean Development Mechanism has the potential to help the empowerment of women through its various methodologies. While these methodologies may not have started out to be gender-friendly per se, their application has improved women's lives and by extension the lives of their communities. This publication will highlight some of these gender-friendly methodologies, as well as fur...

We estimate the angular correlation functions, w() , for the standard CDM, tilted n = 0:7 CDM and hybrid (CHDM) models, and compare with observations. When compared with the APM observational results scaled to the Lick depth, there appears to be fair agreement with the estimate from the CHDM model. But a more detailed comparison using the unscaled APM data for the ve magnitude slices with b j =...

In situations when automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are rapidly deployed for a new task, the availability of within-domain training data may be limited. In such cases one needs to build the ASR system from other, possibly out-of-domain databases. We refer to the process of building ASR systems for one task domain using data from other domains as cross-domain modelling or CDM. Conventi...

We discuss a comparison of models for the formation of disk galaxies both in a Universe dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) and one in which the force law is given by modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). Our main aim is to address the claim made by McGaugh & de Blok that CDM suffers from severe fine-tuning problems, which are circumvented under MOND. As we show, CDM indeed requires some amount o...

Objectives The present study aimed to explore the major factors that account for the beneficial effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation method, hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) was identified as an important factor secreted by MSCs, but not by cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). The protective effects of conditioned medium (CdM)...
