Abstract The standard approximation of a natural logarithm in statistical analysis interprets linear change p ln( X ) as (1 + proportional , which is only accurate for small values . I suggest base-(1 logarithms, where chosen ahead time. A one-unit log 1 ( exactly equivalent to This avoids an applied too broadly, makes exact interpretation easier and less error-prone, improves quality when appr...

A promising avenue to measure the total, and potentially individual, mass of neutrinos consists leveraging cosmological datasets, such as cosmic microwave background surveys large-scale structure universe. In order obtain unbiased estimates neutrino mass, however, many effects ought be included. Here we forecast, via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo likelihood analysis, whether measurements by two ga...

The accuracy of throwing in games and sports is governed by how errors in planning and initial conditions are propagated by the dynamics of the projectile. In the simplest setting, the projectile path is typically described by a deterministic parabolic trajectory which has the potential to amplify noisy launch conditions. By analysing how parabolic trajectories propagate errors, we show how to ...
