Meta-analysis techniques allow researchers to aggregate effect sizes, like standardized regression estimates, of different studies. Recently, continuous-time meta-analysis (CTmeta) has been developed such that the time-interval dependent lagged-parameter estimates can be properly meta-analyzed. This leads overall and their multivariate confidence interval. Often, are not only interested in thes...

Bucket Sort is known to run in expected linear time when the input keys are distributed independently and uniformly at random interval [0, 1). The analysis holds even a quadratic algorithm used sort each bucket. We show how obtain guarantees on running of that hold with very high probability. Specifically, we investigate asymptotic behavior exponent upper tail probability Sort. consider large a...

We analyze the boson mixing in curved spacetime and compute expectation value of energy-momentum tensor bosons on flavor vacuum spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metrics. show that behaves as effective a perfect fluid. Assuming fixed de Sitter background, we equation state can assume values interval [-1, 1], and, limit has -1, which is one dark energy. The results here presente...

The reconstruction of sparse signal is an active area research. Different from a typical i.i.d. assumption, this paper considers non-independent prior group structure. For more practical setup, we propose EM-aided HyGEC, new algorithm to address the stability issue and hyper-parameter facing other algorithms. instability problem results ill condition transform matrix, while unavailability hyper...

BACKGROUND Preoperative expectations of outcome of total hip and knee arthroplasty are important determinants of patients' satisfaction and functional outcome. Aims of the study were (1) to translate the Hospital for Special Surgery Hip Replacement Expectations Survey and Knee Replacement Expectations Survey into Dutch and (2) to study test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. METHODS ...

the notion of a $d$-poset was introduced in a connection withquantum mechanical models. in this paper, we introduce theconditional expectation of  random variables on thek^{o}pka's $d$-poset and prove the basic properties ofconditional expectation on this  structure.

Psychological factors, market sentiments, and shifts in beliefs are believed by many to play a nontrivial role in inducing and amplifying economic fluctuations. Yet, these forces are rarely considered in macroeconomic models. This paper provides an attempt to evaluate the empirical role of expectational shocks on business cycle fluctuations. The paper relaxes the conventional assumption of rati...

We estimate the size of a most loaded bin in the setting when the balls are placed into the bins using a random linear function in a finite field. The balls are chosen from a transformed interval. We show that in this setting the expected load of the most loaded bins is constant. This is an interesting fact because using fully random hash functions with the same class of input sets leads to an ...
