In this paper we give examples which show that the convolution theorem (Boll, [1], Hajek, [2]) cannot be extended to infinite-dimensional shift experiments. This answers a question posed by van der Vaart, [9], and which has been considered also by LeCam, [5].

Is a rational agent’s subjective probability assignment to a conditional always the same as the corresponding subjective conditional probability? The hypothesis that it is has come to be known as Stalnaker’s Hypothesis:’ (SW P(A -+ C) = P(C/A) whenever P(A) > 0 where + is a conditional connective, and P(C/A) = P(CA)/P(A). (SH) has been the subject of much debate. I hope to show in this paper th...

Die österreichische Academia hat in wiederkehrenden Wellen neue Denkschulen hervorgebracht, so z.B. in der Volksund Betriebswirtschaft (z.B. Hajek, Schumpeter), in der Psychologie (Freud), der Quantenphysik (Schrödinger, Zeilinger) oder von Mitgliedern des sog. Wiener Kreises zur Wissenschaftstheorie, Philosophie und Logik. In jüngerer Zeit emergieren Beiträge sowohl zur noch wenig etablierten ...

Applying concepts from partial identification to the domain of finite population sampling, we propose a method for interval estimation of a population mean when the probability of sample selection lies within a posited interval. The interval estimate is derived from sharp bounds on the Hajek (1971) estimator of the population mean. We demonstrate the method’s utility for sensitivity analysis us...

assuming of course that the covariance exists. The infinite sequence {Xn, n ≥ 1} is said to be associated if every finite subfamily is associated. The concept of association was introduced by Esary et al. [1]. There are some results on the strong law of large numbers for associated sequences. Rao [4] developed the Hajek-Renyi inequality for associated sequences and proved the following theorem....

The object of the present investigation is to extend the findings of Hajek [5J on asymptotically most powerful rank order tests (AMPROT) to grouped data where the underlying distributions are essentially continuous but I the observable random variables correspond to a finite or countable set of contiguous class intervals. In this context, the two sample problem for grouped data is considered an...

Hajek and Bowden (Oceanic Linguistics 41:222–224) report on the unusual ejective series in Waimoa, an Austronesian language of East Timor. I argue that, while phonetically odd, it is not a phonological oddity to 2nd ejectives in an Austronesian language, especially not one in the Timor region. A possible historical pathway for the genesis of the ejectives is proposed, and some questions are rai...
