We update the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) calculations on the basis of the recent NACRE compilation of reaction rates. In particular, we calculate the uncertainties related to the nuclear reaction rates on the abundances of 7Li and compare our r...
Effective coordination among artificial agents in dynamic and uncertain environments remains a significant challenge in multi-agent systems. Existing approaches, such as self-play and population-based methods, either generalize poorly to unseen partn...
Consider a linear regression model with n-dimensional response vector, regression parameter β= (β_1, ..., β_p) and independent and identically N(0, σ^2) distributed errors. Suppose that the parameter of interest is θ= a^T βwhere a is a specifie...
Been reading for a few months as I have a 7 month old baby at home so don't get as much time to read now! For me, I absolutely loved part 2 and 3 primarily of the book. I found the backstory of Mr ...
Consider a linear regression model with regression parameter beta and normally distributed errors. Suppose that the parameter of interest is theta = a^T beta where a is a specified vector. Define the parameter tau = c^T beta - t where c and t are spe...
Two weeks ago I had a biopsy done at a local practice. And within a week they called me back letting me know my results were “abnormal”. They refused to elaborate further and cited the spot would ...
Consider a linear regression model with n-dimensional response vector, p-dimensional regression parameter beta and independent normally distributed errors. Suppose that the parameter of interest is theta = a^T beta where a is a specified vector. Defi...
<no_spoiler> I guess I might be one of the few murakami fans who doesn't have any one of Kafka on the Shore or Norwegian Wood in their top 3 murakami books and I have to say I am most impressed ...
Just finished this book by Murakami at first, I thought it wasn’t worth reading for the first few chapters, but as I went deeper into it, I found myself kneeling down and begging for forgiveness for...
Incertae sedis (Latin for 'of uncertain placement') or problematica is a term used for a taxonomic group whose broader relationships are unknown or undefined
Shape completion, i.e., predicting the complete geometry of an object from a partial observation, is highly relevant for several downstream tasks, most notably robotic manipulation. When basing planning or prediction of real grasps on object shape re...
There have been proposals that primordial black hole remnants (BHRs) are the dark matter, but the idea is somewhat vague. We argue here first that the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) may prevent black holes from evaporating completely, in a...
Words like might and could are known as modals, since they express certain "moods" (for example, I might go indicates an uncertain mood on the part of the speaker).
In Moral, Campos (1991) and Cano, Moral, Verdegay-Lopez (1991) a new method of conditioning convex sets of probabilities has been proposed. The result of it is a convex set of non-necessarily normalized probability distributions. The normalizing fa...
Our planet is experiencing an accelerated process of change associated to a variety of anthropogenic phenomena. The future of this transformation is uncertain, but there is general agreement about its negative unfolding that might threaten our own su...
