A b s t r a c t. This paper deals with axiomatization problems for varieties of residuated meet semilattice-ordered monoids (RSs). An internal characterization of the finitely subdirectly irreducible RSs is proved, and it is used to investigate the varieties of RSs within which the finitely based subvarieties are closed under finite joins. It is shown that a variety has this closure property if...

Analysis of the Gibbs sampler for a model related to James - Stein estimators by Jeffrey

We analyze a hierarchical Bayes model which is related to the usual empirical Bayes formulation of James-Stein estimators. We consider running a Gibbs sampler on this model. Using previous results about convergence rates of Markov chains, we provide rigorous, numerical, reasonable bounds on the running time of the Gibbs sampler, for a suitable range of prior distributions. We apply these result...

Commentary Jeffrey

Professor Klein has written a thoroughly appealing paper to start off our discussion. The paper is lucid and to the point. In a few pages, Klein summarizes a rich view of the stagflation process and gives us a forecast of the next decade based on that view. Klein's views are particularly cogent when compared to the welter of interpretations that are now coming forward to explain our economic ma...

Stability Jeffrey

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over R. We denote by G(R) its R-points.
