Asymmetric versus Symmetric Binary Regresion: A New Proposal with Applications

Bayesian Analysis of Binary Regression Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Links

Binary response regression is a useful technique for analyzing categorical data. Popular binary models use special link functions such as the logit or the probit link. In this article, the inverse link function H is modeled to be a scale mixture of cumulative distribution functions. Two different models for H are proposed: (i) H is a finite normal scale mixture with a Dirichlet distribution pri...

New Symmetric and Asymmetric Quantum Codes

The asymmetric CSS construction is extended to the Hermitian case. New infinite families of quantum symmetric and asymmetric codes are constructed. The codes obtained are shown to have parameters better than those of previous codes. A number of known codes are special cases of the codes given here.

A (New) Look at Symmetric and Asymmetric Passives

Provision versus Appropriation in Symmetric and Asymmetric Social Dilemmas*

Social dilemmas characterize decision environments in which individuals’ exclusive pursuit of their own material self-interest can produce inefficient allocations. Social dilemmas are most commonly studied in provision games, such as public goods games and trust games, in which the social dilemma can be manifested in foregone opportunities to create surplus. Appropriation games are sometimes us...

DNA Barcoding: a new tool with wide array of applications

DNA barcoding is a new term introduced in to scientific literatures by Hebert and coworkers almost a decade ago. The concept of barcoding alone is well-known to the public: a series of black bars printed on many commercial products (Universal Product Code), which are used to distinguish different products. Advances made in molecular biology and molecular techniques late 20th century e.g. sequen...
