Hanaki [A. Hanaki, Representations of association schemes and their factor schemes, Graphs Combin. 19 (2003) 195–201; A. Hanaki, Characters of association schemes and normal closed subsets, Graphs Combin. 19 (2003) 363–369] generalized many properties of characters of finite groups to characters of association schemes. In this paper we show that many of these properties also hold for table alge...

Detection of structural change is a critical empirical activity, but continuous ‘monitoring’ of time series for structural changes in real time raises well-known econometric issues. These have been explored in a univariate context. If multiple series co-break, as may be plausible, then it is possible that simultaneous examination of a multivariate set of data would help identify changes with hi...

is more common in women than in men. Conclusions: Approximately 25 chemicals appear to be responsible for as many as one half of all cases of allergic contact dermatitis. These include nickel, preservatives, dyes, and fragrances. in this study Allergic contact dermatitis is more common in women than in men. This predominantly is a result of allergy to nickel, which is much more common in women ...

This lecture is last on flexible and robust models of “non-worst-case data”. The idea is again to assume that there is some “random aspect” to the data, while stopping well short of average-case analysis. Recall our critique of the latter: it encourages overfitting a brittle algorithmic solution to an overly specific data model. Thus far, we’ve seen two data models that assume only that there i...
