In 1984, H. Risken authored a book (H. Risken, The Fokker-Planck Equation: Methods of Solution, Applications, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, New York) discussing the Fokker-Planck equation for one variable, several variables, methods of solution and its applications, especially dealing with laser statistics. There has been a considerable progress on the topic as well as the topic has received greater...

Being able to formally test for symmetry hypotheses is an important topic in many fields, including environmental and physical sciences. In this paper, one concentrates on a large family of nonparametric tests of symmetry based on Cramér–von Mises statistics computed from empirical distribution and characteristic functions. These tests possess the highly desirable property of being universally ...

This paper addresses the problem of scientific research analysis across multiple fields. We use Latent Dirichlet Allocation to model research topics in papers and show various insightful statistics and correlations within and across five research fields: Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Psychology, Education, and Marketing. In particular, we introduce three new measures of coherence, imp...

Acknowledgments: I am grateful to Robert Lerman for many discussions on this topic. The data was provided by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics as part of a long term collaborative effort with the World Bank. The help of Dileni Gunewardena is also gratefully acknowledged.

• Compose personalized documents for the reader. For example, once could have a text base on statistical methods, where each topic is treated at several levels (such as for readers who know calculus and those who do not) and where each method has examples from several domains. Given a reader’s background, subject domain, and learning goal, the system would then sequence of topics that build on ...

The ProSocrates 2017 Symposium aims to blend the topics of problemsolving, creativity and spatial reasoning. In this paper we will discuss the scientific interest of the topic blend. We will then describe the presented works, how they fit the Symposium theme and statistics about the 2nd Edition of ProSocrates. Finally, we will discuss how the topic mix looked like this year, possible future dir...
