Large sample properties are studied for a …rst-order autoregression (AR(1)) with a root greater than unity. It is shown that, contrary to the AR coe¢ cient, the leastsquares (LS) estimator of the intercept and its t-statistic are asymptotically normal without requiring the Gaussian error distribution, and hence an invariance principle applies. While the invariance principle does not apply to th...

Although various methods have been proposed for pedestrian attribute recognition, most studies follow the same feature learning mechanism, \ie, a shared image to classify multiple attributes. However, this mechanism leads low-confidence predictions and non-robustness of model in inference stage. In paper, we investigate why is case. We mathematically discover that central cause optimal cannot m...

DNS is a protocol responsible for translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses. Despite being essential many Internet services to work properly, it inherently vulnerable manipulation. In November 2021, users from Mexico received bogus responses when resolving whatsapp.net. It appeared that BGP route leak diverged queries the local instance of k-root located in China. Those queries,...

The aim of this study was to examine whether perceptual variables can provide informational constraints for the goalkeepers to intercept the ball successfully in 1v1 dyads. Video images of 42 actions (1v1 in direct shots) were selected randomly from different matches and divided into conceded goals (n = 20) and saved actions (n = 22) to investigate interceptive actions of 20 goalkeepers in the ...

OBJECTIVE To understand the association between self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and mortality in late life. Method. The sample (n = 1,507) was drawn from the Australian Longitudinal Study of Aging (baseline age = 65-103 years). We used joint growth curve and survival models on 5 waves of data for a period of 16 years to investigate the random intercept and slope of SPA for predicting all-cause ...
