Determination of accurate, mean bond lengths from radial distribution functions.

The mean bond length d between a central atom and its nearest neighbors can be estimated from the position of the first peak in the radial distribution function g(r). However, as we demonstrate here, this estimate does not allow one to deduce temperature-induced changes in d. Instead, skewness has to be included into the analysis, which can be achieved, for example, via the skew normal distribu...

Comment on "Ring-breaking electron attachment to uracil: Following bond dissociations via evolving resonances" [J. Chem. Phys. 128, 174302 (2008)].

We point out that the assignment of pi(*) resonances to calculated features in a recent paper by Gianturco et al. [J. Chem. Phys.128, 174302 (2008)] cannot be correct.

Accurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution

Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
