Tossing a Biased Coin
When we talk about a coin toss, we think of it as unbiased: with probability one-half it comes up heads, and with probability one-half it comes up tails. An ideal unbiased coin might not correctly model a real coin, which could be biased slightly one way or another. After all, real life is rarely fair. This possibility leads us to an interesting mathematical and computational question. Is there...
متن کاملA Berry-Esseen Type Bound for the Kernel Density Estimator of Length-Biased Data
Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...
متن کاملClimates and clades: biased methods, biased results
Thuiller et al. analyzed the consequences of anticipated climate change on plant, bird, and mammal phylogenetic diversity (PD) across Europe. They concluded that species loss will not be clade specific across the Tree of Life, and that there will not be an overall decline in PD across the whole of Europe. We applaud their attempt to integrate phylogenetic knowledge into scenarios of future exti...
متن کاملBiased retellings of events yield biased memories.
When people retell events, they take different perspectives for different audiences and purposes. In four experiments, we examined the effects of this postevent reorganization of events on memory for the original events. In each experiment, participants read a story, wrote a biased letter about one of the story characters, and later remembered the original story. Participants' letters contained...

a given mitral cell. It is possible that many VNO neurons proteins during the process of neuronal targeting, yet expressing one receptor actually project to the same they construct very different maps in the target areas. mitral cell, so the pattern could be more organized and How are the maps generated? How are guidance cues convergent than it appears. By the same token, it could distributed i...
