“African people have produced the same general types of institutions for understanding and ordering their worlds as every other group human beings. Though this should be obvious, fact that we must go to great lengths recognize then demonstrate it speaks potent invisible effect enslavement colonization African over last 500 years.” – Greg Carr

Missing the few hours that are the window of opportunity between stroke onset and the time of diagnosis make many patients ineligible for reperfusion therapy, because of concerns that treatment might be too risky or ineff ective.

We consider the spectral properties of a class of regularized estimators of (large) empirical covariance matrices corresponding to stationary (but not necessarily Gaussian) sequences, obtained by banding. We prove a law of large numbers (similar to that proved in the Gaussian case by Bickel and Levina), which implies that the spectrum of a banded empirical covariance matrix is an efficient esti...

In the previous two lectures, we’ve discussed the connections of the learning problem to statistical inference. However, unlike in traditional statistics, our primary goal with learning is to predict the future rather than describe the data at hand. We also typically have a much smaller sample of data in a much higher-dimensional space, so we cannot blindly choose a model and assume it will be ...

Our main result is elementary and concerns the relationship between the multiplicative groups of the coordinate and endomorphism rings of the formal additive group over a field of characteristic p > 0. The proof involves the combinatorics of base p representations of positive integers in a striking way. We apply the main result to construct a canonical quotient of the module of Coleman power se...

Language definition techniques may be applied to the specification of a wide range of problems. Language implementation techniques may then be used to construct interpreter prototypes. The use of an interpreter-interpreter language for the implementation of interpreter prototypes circumvents some of the disadvantages of contemporary programming languages and software tools.
