Q. How would you pitch your Ph.D. dissertation in one paragraph?

The second last inequality follows from the observation that the event E i (t) was defined as μ̂i(t) > xi, At time τk+1 for k ≥ 1, μ̂i(τk+1) = Si(τk+1) k+1 ≤ Si(τk+1) k , where latter is simply the average of the outcomes observed from k i.i.d. plays of arm i, each of which is a Bernoulli trial with mean μi. Using Chernoff-Hoeffding bounds (Fact 1), we obtain that Pr(μ̂i(τk + 1) > xi) ≤ Pr(ik k > ...

In his article, "How is a Genre Created? Five Combinatory Hypotheses," Johan F. Hoorn discusses that in genre theory, the creation of a genre is usually envisioned as a complex selection procedure in which several factors play an equivocal role. First, he advances that genre usually is investigated at the level of the phenomenon. For instance, questions may drawn on the effects of social status...
