Bayes theorem (discrete case) is taken as a paradigm of information acquisition. As men-tioned by Aitchison, Bayes formula can be identified with perturbation of a prior probability vector and a discrete likelihood function, ...

A soil aggregate is made of closely packed sand, silt, clay, and organic particles building up soil structure. Soil aggregation is a soil quality index integrating the chemical, physical, and biological processes ...

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been recently approved by FDA for the treatment of refractory recurrent clostridial colitis (rCDI). Success of FTM in treatment of rCDI led to a number of studies investigating ...

Un método Bayesiano para la evaluación de la probabilidad de ocurrencia de sismos. Pseudo-aceleraciones del terreno en el subbloque ibero-costero pirenaico. Determinación de las acciones sísmicas de diseño.

A modified version of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test is presented as a tool to assess whether a specified, although arbitrary, probability model is unsuitable to describe the underlying distribution of a set of observations. ...

Principal balances are defined as a sequence of orthonormal balances which maximize successively the explained variance in a data set. Apparently, computing principal balances requires an exhaustive search along all possible ...

A residual type a posteriori error estimator for finite elements is analyzed using a new technique. In this case, the error estimate is the result of two consecutive projections of the exact error on two finite-dimensional ...

The purpose of this contribution is to evaluate whether there is enough statistical basis to establish a relationship between the popularity of certain terms in the Google, Inc. browser and the evolution of several worldwide ...

Measurements in sequencing studies are mostly based on counts. There is a lack of theoretical developments for the analysis and modelling of this type of data. Some thoughts in this direction are presented, which might ...
