We propose an extension to current view-based mediator systems called model-based mediation, in which views are defined and executed at the level of conceptual models (CMs) rather than at the structural level. Structural integration and lifting of data to the conceptual level is “pushed down” from the mediator to wrappers which in our system export classes, associations, constraints, and query ...

Recent statistical mediation analysis research focuses on using Bayesian methods for several reasons including the ability to incorporate prior information about model parameters, ease of constructing intervals for simple and complex models, and exact inference for small samples without restrictive assumptions of conventional mediation analysis (Yuan & MacKinnon, 2009).The focus of this paper i...

We study the problem of selecting between different mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model using current data. We evaluate the Bayesian evidence of four supersymmetry breaking scenarios: mSUGRA, mGMSB, mAMSB and moduli mediation. The results show a strong dependence on the dark matter assumption. Using the inferred cosmological relic density as an uppe...

An extended version of the Common Fate Model (CFM) is presented to estimate and test mediation in dyadic data. The model can be used for distinguishable dyad members (e.g., heterosexual couples) or indistinguishable dyad members (e.g., homosexual couples) if (a) the variables measure characteristics of the dyadic relationship or shared external influences that affect both partners; if (b) the c...

Research adopting self-determination theory (SDT) supports a mediation model whereby coach motivational styles (autonomy support and interpersonal control) predict athletes' engagement and disaffection in youth sport via the satisfaction and frustration of psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness). Our study extends this research by examining SDT's mediation model longitudinal...

We study LHC phenomenology of mirage mediation scenario in which anomaly and modulus contributions to soft SUSY breaking terms are comparable to each other. A Monte Carlo study of mirage mediation, with model parameters α = 1, M 0 = 500 GeV, n M = 1/2, n H = 1 and tanβ = 10, is presented. It is shown that masses of supersymmetric particles can be measured in a model independent way, providing i...

We construct a four dimensional realization of a higher dimensional model, Yukawa deflected gauge mediation, in which supersymmetry breaking is communicated to the visible sector through both gauge and Yukawa interactions. The reduction to four dimensions is achieved by ‘deconstructing’ or ‘latticizing’ the extra dimension. Three sites (gauge groups) are sufficient to reproduce the spectrum of ...
