We propose to fit a Lancaster-type additive model of interaction terms for cell probabilities of contingency tables to evaluate the conditional probability of population uniqueness of sample unique records in microdata sets. Moment estimation of the Lancaster-type additive model is straightforward and the proposed estimation procedure is intuitively appealing from the viewpoint of disclosure ri...

Semantic lexical resources play an important part in both corpus linguistics and NLP. Over the past 14 years, a large semantic lexical resource has been built at Lancaster University. Different from other major semantic lexicons in existence, such as WordNet, EuroWordNet and HowNet, etc., in which lexemes are clustered and linked via the relationship between word/MWE senses or definitions of me...

THE Lancaster diplopia test (Lancaster, 1939) is simple and sensitive, shows topical cyclophoria easily, and is applicable to alternators with abnorinal retinal correspondence, so that in these respects it must be regarded as superior to the Hess test (Hess, 1916). The Lancaster method of recording, however, is less lucid, and attempts have been made, for example by Tulloch (1950) and Hugonnier...

We introduce kernel nonparametric tests for Lancaster three-variable interaction and for total independence, using embeddings of signed measures into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The resulting test statistics are straightforward to compute, and are used in powerful interaction tests, which are consistent against all alternatives for a large family of reproducing kernels. We show the Lanc...
