Many educators and researchers are trying to define statistical literacy for the 21st century. Kimura, a Japanese science educator, has suggested that a key task of statistical literacy is the ability to extract qualitative information from quantitative information, and/or to create new information from qualitative and quantitative information. This article presents research that offers a theor...

We study various probabilistic and analytical properties of a class of degenerate diffusion operators arising in Population Genetics, the so-called generalized Kimura diffusion operators [8, 9, 6]. Our main results are a stochastic representation of weak solutions to a degenerate parabolic equation with singular lower-order coefficients, and the proof of the scaleinvariant Harnack inequality fo...

We discretise the Lax pair for reduced Nahm systems and prove its equivalence with Kahan–Hirota–Kimura discretisation procedure. show that these pairs guarantee integrability of discrete providing an invariant. Also, we cannot solve general problem characterisation discretisations.
