Mammalian Olfaction, Reproductive Processes, and Behavior presents the conceptual, methodological, and empirical advances in the study of the complex interactions between nasal chemoreception, sexual behavior, and endocrine function in mammals. It focuses on the orders Artiodacty…
Recent advances in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning provide us with the tools to build predictive models that can be used to unveil patterns driving judicial decisions. This can be useful, for both lawyers and judges, as an assisting tool to rapidly identify cases…
We propose empirical dynamic programming algorithms for Markov decision processes (MDPs). In these algorithms, the exact expectation in the Bellman operator in classical value iteration is replaced by an empirical estimate to get `empirical value ite...

Feb 26, 2026 · Adjective empirical (comparative more empirical, superlative most empirical) Pertaining to or based on experience, as opposed to theory.
1. a. Relying on or derived from observation or experiment: empirical results that supported the hypothesis. b. Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws. 2. â¦
We present a new empirical model of total and spectral solar irradiance (TSI and SSI) variability entitled EMPirical Irradiance REconstruction (EMPIRE). As with existing empirical models, TSI and SSI variability is given by the linear combination of...
Empirical Bayes Mixtape Session taught by Christopher Walters (⭐ 18)
We study empirical variants of the halfspace (Tukey) depth of a probability measure $μ$, which are obtained by replacing $μ$ with the corresponding weighted empirical measure. We prove analogues of the Marcinkiewicz--Zygmund strong law of large num...
Introduction to Empirical Bayes: Examples from Baseball Statistics (⭐ 198)
We show how to achieve differential privacy with no or reduced added noise, based on the empirical noise in the data itself. Unlike previous works on noiseless privacy, the empirical viewpoint avoids making any explicit assumptions about the random p...
We study the foundations of empirical equilibrium, a refinement of Nash equilibrium that is based on a non-parametric characterization of empirical distributions of behavior in games (Velez and Brown,2020b arXiv:1907.12408). The refinement can be alt...
Jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL) is an effective modified version of empirical likelihood method (EL). Through the construction of the jackknife pseudo-values, JEL overcomes the computational difficulty of EL method when its constraints are nonli...
In each of the last five years, a few dozen empirical studies appeared in visualization journals and conferences. The existing empirical studies have already featured a large number of variables. There are many more variables yet to be studied. While...
Empirical evidence or study relies on practical experience rather than theories. There is no empirical evidence to support his thesis.
EMPIRICAL definition: derived from or guided by direct experience or by experiment, rather than abstract principles or theory. See examples of empirical used in a sentence.
We extend observability metrics based on the empirical observability Gramian from deterministic nonlinear systems to nonlinear stochastic systems in order to capture the impact of process noise on observability. We demonstrate that the empirical obse...
We present a new library of semi-empirical stellar spectra that is based on the empirical MILES library. A new, high resolution library of theoretical stellar spectra is generated that is specifically designed for use in stellar population studies. W...
