Fluctuations of conserved quantities, such as baryon, electric charge, and strangeness
number, are sensitive observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to probe the QCD …

We study the problem of estimating finite sample confidence intervals of the mean of a
normal population under the constraint of differential privacy. We consider both the known …

Given a sample from a bivariate distribution, consider the problem of testing independence.
A permutation test based on the sample correlation is known to be an exact level α test …

Statistics is the science of extracting useful information from data, and a statistical model is
used to provide a useful approximation to some of the important characteristics of the …

When the partial least squares estimation methods, the “modes,” are applied to the standard
latent factor model against which methods are designed and calibrated in PLS, they will not …

The exchange of opinions between individuals is a fundamental social interaction that plays
a role in nearly any social, political and economic process. While it is unlikely that a simple …

We suggest a procedure for estimating N th degree polynomial approximations to unknown
(or known) probability density functions (PDFs) based on N statistical moments from each …

A measurement of the top quark mass (M [t]) in the dileptonic t t-bar decay channel is
performed using data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The …

Accurate prediction of future claims is a fundamentally important problem in insurance. The
Bayesian approach is natural in this context, as it provides a complete predictive distribution …

A/B tests (or randomized controlled experiments) play an integral role in the research and
development cycles of technology companies. As in classic randomized experiments (eg …
