Unbayesed Credibility Revisited

QUICKSELECT Revisited

We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.

Web Credibility: Features Exploration and Credibility Prediction

The open nature of the World Wide Web makes evaluating webpage credibility challenging for users. In this paper, we aim to automatically assess web credibility by investigating various characteristics of webpages. Specifically, we first identify features from textual content, link structure, webpages design, as well as their social popularity learned from popular social media sites (e.g., Faceb...

PENDRED\'S SYNDROME REVISITED

Pendred's syndrome is defined as a triad of congenital perceptive hearing loss, goiter, and abnormal perchlorate test. Three brothers with Pendred's syndrome [P.S.] are reported. The oldest brother has hearing loss (he has been deaf and mute since childhood) and has a large goiter. A thyroid scan revealed euthyroid multinodular goiter and a perchlorate test was performed, and reported abno...

Credibility Theory

This survey of actuarial credibility theory traces its origins, describes its evolutionary history, gives an account of its main issues and results, and assesses its merits with a view to related work in statistical science. Key-words: Experience rating, limited fluctuation theory, greatest accuracy theory, Bayes, linear Bayes, empirical Bayes, hierarchical models, Hilbert space methods, recurs...
