ÐThe problem of computing with faulty shared bits is addressed. The focus is on constructing a reliable test&set bit from a collection of test&set bits of which some may be faulty. Faults are modeled by allowing operations on the faulty bits to return a special distinguished value, signaling that the operation may not have taken place. Such faults are called omission faults. Some of the constru...

Analyses that treat determiner omission in terms of weak referentiality have recently been adopted for determinerless PPs. A missing discourse referent is involved in both cases (Farkas and de Swart 2003, Espinal and McNally 2011, de Swart 2012). With regard to the German prepositions mit and ohne, we will show that the former accepts the determiner omission reluctantly, while determiner omissi...

The goal of this dissertation is to account for the fact that young children acquiring English (around age 2 years) often produce utterances like (1), in which they omit a form of the copula, be. Children's production of forms like (1) is interesting for two main reasons: firstly, utterances like these do not occur in the input (adult English); secondly, children's omission of the copula adhere...

introduction: teacher evaluation, as an important strategy for improving the quality of education, has been considered by universities and leads to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of education. analysis of instructors’ scores is one of the main fields of educational research. since outliers affect analysis and interpretation of information processes both structurally and ...

In this paper, we use two statistics for detecting outliers in exponentiated Paretodistribution. These statistics are the extension of the statistics for detecting outliers inexponential and gamma distributions. In fact, we compare the power of our test statisticsbased on the simulation study and identify the better test statistic for detecting outliers inexponentiated Pareto distribution. At t...

The cerebellum is implicated in sensory prediction in the subsecond range. To explore how neurons in the cerebellum encode temporal information for the prediction of sensory events, we trained monkeys to make a saccade in response to either a single omission or deviation of isochronous repetitive stimuli. We found that neurons in the cerebellar dentate nucleus exhibited a gradual elevation of t...

In mixture experiments, estimation of the parameters is generally based on ordinary least squares (OLS). However, in the presence of multicollinearity and outliers, OLS can result in very poor estimates. In this case, effects due to the combined outlier-multicollinearity problem can be reduced to certain extent by using alternative approaches. One of these approaches is to use biased-robust reg...
