Murrell on Chronic Bronchites and Its Treatment

Reply to Murrell et al.: Noise matters.

The concept of statistical " equitability " plays a central role in the 2011 paper by Reshef et al. (1). Formalizing equitability first requires formalizing the notion of a " noisy functional relationship, " that is, a relationship between two real variables, X and Y, having the form Y = f ðXÞ + η; where f is a function and η is a noise term. Whether a dependence measure satisfies equi-tability...

Extraction of Dunham Coefficients from Murrell-Sorbie Parameters

A set of relationships between parameters of the Dunham and Murrell-Sorbie potential energy function is developed. By employing Taylor series expansion and comparison of terms arranged in increasing order of bond length, a set of Dunham coefficients is obtained as functions of MurrellSorbie parameters. The conversion functions reveal the importance of factorials in extracting Dunham coefficient...

as part of the moral order on the one hand and as pathological phenomena on the other. Dr. Riese writes interestingly of his seventeenth century theorists, and the reader will find much of what he has to say rewarding, especially with respect to the work of medical men so little known as de la Forge and de la Chambre. Rather than praise the obvious merits of Dr. Riese's monograph, however, I sh...

between sound and meaning within vast possible variations in the items under comparison, reducing the possibility of chance similarity. In contrast, there is a 'poverty of choice' of some other language features. " For example there are only six permutations for the ordering of the subject, object and verb that a language can use. Accordingly, there is a one in six chance that any two languages...
