Michael D. Sokoloff University of Cincinnati Daniel M. Kaplan Illinois Institute of Technology ABSTRACT We review the physics goals of an ultrahigh-statistics charm experiment and place them in the broader context of the community’s efforts to study the Standard Model and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, and we point out some of the experimental difficulties which must be overco...

One way to approach the links between socioeconomic status and health has been proposed by Lynch and Kaplan (1997), who call for an “epidemiology of everyday life.” Systematic social differences in health may be a response to systematic differences in the quality and stressfulness of daily life. If so, housing is one way to understand socio-economic geographies of everyday life and their influe...

We find conditions under which direct and inverse limits of arbitrary indexed systems of topological Abelian groups are related via the duality defined by the continuous convergence structure. This generalizes known results by Kaplan about duality of direct and inverse sequences of locally compact Abelian groups.

Quality Management is an essential part of successful organisations. But the effect of it is mostly not directly visible. The effects are more indirect, and have a time lag till results appear. In today’s challenging times, all activities of an organisation have to proof their ability to add value. While Value Based Management is more focussed on financial value, other concepts and models like ...

The Kaplan-Meier estimator is very popular in analysis of survival data. However, it is not easy to compute the ‘constrained’ Kaplan-Meier. Current computational method uses expectationmaximization algorithm to achieve this, but can be slow at many situations. In this note we give a recursive computational algorithm for the ‘constrained’ Kaplan-Meier estimator. The constraint is assumed given i...

Identification in censored regression analysis and hazard models of duration outcomes relies on the condition that censoring points are independent of latent outcomes, an assumption which may be questionable in many settings. This note proposes a test for this assumption based on a Kolmogorov-Smirnov-like test statistic comparing two different nonparametric estimators for the latent outcome cdf...
