Bayes and Frequentism: a particle physicist’s perspective

Cosmology for Particle Physicists

Statistics for Nuclear and Particle Physicists: an Update

Over the years since this book was published in 1986, I have discovered that various statements are incorrect, could have been emphasised differently, or should have been included but were not. This attempts to remedy some of these.

A stochastic programming perspective on nonparametric Bayes

We use Church, a Turing-universal language for stochastic generative processes and the probability distributions they induce, to study and extend several objects in nonparametric Bayesian statistics. We connect exchangeability and de Finetti measures with notions of purity and closures from functional programming. We exploit delayed evaluation to provide finite, machine-executable representatio...

features of short story in translated and non-translated literature: a polysystemic perspective

ترجمه متون ادبی در دنیای امروز از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. فرهنگ های مختلف با استفاده از متون ادبی ملل و فرهنگ های دیگر سعی در غنی کردن فرهنگ و ادبیات کشور خود دارند. کشور ما نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نیست. در ایران، ترجمه متون ادبی اروپائی که با دوران مشروطه ایرانی آغاز می شود موجب تغییرات اساسی در فرهنگ، شیوه زندگی و تفکر ایرانیان شده است. در این دوران نه تنها در امورات سیاسی و فکری کشور تغی...

Finite Frequentism in a Big World

The view that chances are relative frequencies of occurrence within actual, finite reference classes has long been written off. I argue that it ought to be reconsidered. Focussing on non-deterministic chance, I defend a version of finite frequentism in which reference classmates are required to have qualitatively identical pasts. While my analysis can evade or resist several standard objections...
