The Axiom of Blackwell Determinacy is a set-theoretic axiom motivated by games used in statistics. It is known that the Axiom of Determinacy implies the Axiom of Blackwell Determinacy. Tony Martin has conjectured that the two axioms are equivalent. We develop the “simulation technique” which allows us to simulate boundedness proofs under the assumption of Blackwell Determinacy and deduce strong...

Termination of the stem cells in the floral meristem (also known as floral determinacy) is critical for the reproductive success of plants, and the molecular activities regulating floral determinacy are precisely orchestrated during the course of floral development. In Arabidopsis thaliana, regulators of floral determinacy include several transcription factor genes, such as APETALA2 (AP2), AGAM...

Regression factor score predictors have the maximum determinacy, that is, correlation with corresponding factor, but they do not same inter-correlations as factors. As it might be useful to compute factors, correlation-preserving been proposed. However, smaller correlations factors (factor determinacy) than regression predictors. Thus, higher determinacy goes along bias of and unbiased go lower...

The principle of determinacy has been crucial to the study of definable sets of real numbers. This paper surveys some of the uses of determinacy, concentrating specifically on the connection between determinacy and large cardinals, and takes this connection further, to the level of games of length ω1.

Using New Keynesian models, we compare Friedman’s k-percent money supply rule to optimal interest rate setting, with respect to determinacy, stability under learning and optimality. First we review the recent literature: open-loop interest rate rules are subject to indeterminacy and instability problems, but a properly chosen expectations-based rule yields determinacy and stability under learni...

Flowering plants go through several phases between regular stem growth and the actual production of flower parts. The stepwise conversion of vegetative into inflorescence and floral meristems is usually unidirectional, but under certain environmental or genetic conditions, meristems can revert to an earlier developmental identity. Vegetative meristems are typically indeterminate, producing orga...

We give a simple, direct, and constructive proof of memoryless determinacy for parity and mean payo& games. First, we prove by induction that the 8nite duration versions of these games, played until some vertex is repeated, are determined and both players have memoryless winning strategies. In contrast to the proof of Ehrenfeucht and Mycielski, Internat. J. Game Theory, 8 (1979) 109–113, our pr...

This Article proposes a novel technique for characterizing the relative determinacy of legal decision-making. I begin with the observation that the determinacy of legal outcomes varies from context to context within the law. To augment this intuition, I develop a theoretical model of determinate legal decision-making. This model aims to capture the essential features that are typically associat...
