This work proposes innovative permutation-based procedures controlling the Familywise Error rate (FWE). It is proofed that weighted procedures control the FWE if weights are a function of the sufficient statistic. Particularly, we focus on the use of the additional information given by the total variance of each variables. The first proposal considers the use of weights applied to the combining...

We propose the B c → B * u γ decay as the most suitable probe for the flavour changing neutral transition c → uγ. We estimate the short and long distance contributions to this decay within the standard model and we find them to be comparable; this is in contrast to radia-tive decays of D mesons, that are completely dominated by the long distance contributions. Since the c → uγ transition is ver...

Frane (2015) pointed out the difference between per-family and familywise Type I error control and how different multiple comparison procedures control one method but not necessarily the other. He then went on to demonstrate in the context of a two group multivariate design containing different numbers of dependent variables and correlations between variables how the per-family rate inflates be...

While general publication practices clearly differ between disciplines, knowledge about scientometric indicators can also greatly vary. The observed heterogeneity in bibliometric knowledge inspired us to define the concept of ‘metric-wiseness’ for researchers. Being metric-wise can lead to an advantage for knowledgeable researchers over uninformed colleagues, even when they are of otherwise equ...

This forum provides a space to engage with the challenges of designing for intelligent algorithmic experiences. We invite articles that tackle tensions between research and practice when integrating AI UX design. welcome interdisciplinary debate, artful critique, forward-looking research, case studies in practice, speculative design explorations. --- Juho Kim Henriette Cramer, Editors

Multi-choice Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) as a challenge requires models to select the most appropriate answer from set of candidates with given passage and question. Most existing researches focus on modeling specific tasks or complex networks, without explicitly referring relevant credible external knowledge sources, which are supposed greatly make up for deficiency passage. Thus we pr...

iranian civilization is one of the oldest and most influential civilizations of history, and iran as the origin of persian civilization, has been ruled by numerous states throughout history. some of them, while enjoying considerable glory and high level of economic and political power, have sometimes been declined and finally overthrown. having these points in mind, the main questions are prese...

This paper addresses the following general scenario: A scientist wishes to perform a battery of experiments, each generating a sequential stream of data, to investigate some phenomenon. The scientist would like to control the overall error rate in order to draw statistically-valid conclusions from each experiment, while being as efficient as possible. The between-stream data may differ in distr...
