Are You Smarter Than a Teenager? Maybe Not When It Comes to Reinforcement Learning

Adolescence is a time of tumultuous behavior that may result, in part, from brain circuitry that enhances reward seeking. In this issue of Neuron, Davidow et al. (2016) present a convincing argument that adolescent brain functionality can be adaptive in certain contexts, particularly probabilistic learning environments.

The BLUPs Are Not “Best” When It Comes To Bootstrapping

In the setting of mixed models, some researchers may construct a semiparametric bootstrap by sampling from the best linear unbiased predictor residuals. This paper demonstrates both mathematically and by simulation that such a bootstrap will consistently underestimate the variation in the data in 3nite samples. c © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Linear Regions Are All You Need

The type-and-effects system of the Tofte-Talpin region calculus makes it possible to safely reclaim objects without a garbage collector. However, it requires that regions have last-in-first-out (LIFO) lifetimes following the block structure of the language. We introduce λ, a core calculus that is powerful enough to encode Tofte-Talpin-like languages, and that eliminates the LIFO restriction. Th...
