We construct a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the null hypothesis that the average treatment effect is non-negative conditional on all possible values of the covariates. The null hypothesis of our interest can be characterized as a conditional moment inequality under the unconfoundedness assumption, and we employ the instrumental variable method to convert the conditional moment inequality into un...

Résumé. Le critère de découpage binaire de Kolmogorov-Smirnov nécessite un ordre total des valeurs prises par les variables explicatives. Nous pouvons ordonner des intervalles fermés bornés de nombres réels de différentes façons. Notre contribution dans cet article consiste à évaluer et à comparer des arbres de décision obtenus sur des données de type intervalle à l’aide du critère de découpage...

We give analytic Carleson-type characterisations of the interpolating sequences for the Nevanlinna and Smirnov classes. From this we deduce necessary and sufficient geometric conditions, both expressed in terms of a certain non-tangential maximal function associated to the sequence. Some examples show that the gap between the necessary and the sufficient conditions cannot be covered. We also di...

Besides the opportunity for discovering new neutrino physics, solar neutrino measurements provide a sensitive probe of the solar interior, and thus a rigorous test of solar model predictions. We present model independent determinations of the neutrino spectrum by using relevant flux components as free parameters subject only to the luminosity constraint. (1) Without the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfens...

This study was undertaken to compare several methods of evaluating the common assumption that laboratory data may be treated as if they had been drawn from an underlying Gaussian distribution. As had been described earlier, the usual Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was found to be unsatisfactory due to its sensitivity to rounding. In addition, a recently suggested modification also was shown to be unsu...

Smirnov (1) has reported the biosynthesis of long chain fatty acids by chloroplasts. However, the reaction mixtures used in the experiments were not as complete as was found necessary for maximal fatty acid synthesis in animal (24) and other plant tissues (5). Smirnov (1) observed that fatty acid synthesis was stimulated by light and suggested that its action was of fundamental importance in th...
