Data distributions can be represented using different external representations, such as histograms and boxplots. Although the role of external representations has been extensively studied in mathematics, this is less the case in statistics. This study helps to fill this gap by systematically varying the representation that accompanies a task between participants, and assessing how university st...

It is well known that resonance can be induced by external noise or diversity. Here we show that resonance can be induced even by a phase disorder in coupled excitable neurons with subthreshold activity. In contrast to the case of identical phase, we find that phase disorder plays an active role in enhancing neuronal activity. We also uncover that the presence of phase disorder can induce a dou...

Abstract The notion of strong external difference family (SEDF) in a finite abelian group (G,+) is raised by M. B. Paterson and D. R. Stinson [5] in 2016 and motivated by its application in communication theory to construct R-optimal regular algebraic manipulation detection code. A series of (n,m, k, λ)-SEDF’s have been constructed in [5, 4, 2, 1] with m = 2. In this note we present an example ...
