In this paper, the time series based damage detection algorithms developed by Nair, et al. (2006) and Nair and Kiremidjian (2007) are applied to the benchmark experimental data from the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taipei, Taiwan. Both acceleration and strain data are analyzed. The data are modeled as autoregressive (AR) processes, and damage sensitive featu...

Exercise 1 (2.1). An article in the New York Times (February 17, 1999) about the PSA blood test for detecting prostate cancer stated that, of men who had this disease, the test fails to detect prostate cancer in 1 in 4 (so called false-negative results), and of men who did not have it, as many as two-thirds receive false-positive results. Let C(C̄) denote the event of having (not having) prostat...

A variety of practical problems of nite population inference can be addressed in the framework of successive sampling discovery models population units are assumed drawn from a superpopulation distribution and then successively sampled according to a speci ed size biased selection mechanism Formal statistical analysis of discovery data under such models is technically challenging as exempli ed ...

Throughout this note, let N denote the set of nonnegative integers. Define N∗ := N \ {0}. There are lots of known results about the least common multiple of a sequence of positive integers. The most renowned is nothing else than an equivalent of the prime number theory; it says that log lcm(1, 2, ..., n) ∼ n as n approaches infinity (see, for instance [6]), where lcm(1, 2, · · · , n) means the ...

A variety of practical problems of nite population inference can be addressed in the framework of successive sampling discovery models { population units are assumed drawn from a superpopulation distribution and then successively sampled according to a speciied`size-biased' selection mechanism. Formal statistical analysis of discovery data under such models is technically challenging, as exempl...

The understanding of the nonperturbative dynamics of Yang-Mills theory is one of the grand problems of theoretical physics. In this Letter we announce new analytical results pertaining to the spectrum of the spin zero glueballs of 2 1-dimensional Yang-Mills theory [1]. This theory is expected on many grounds to share the essential features of its 3 1-dimensional cousin, such as asymptotic freed...
