Coevolution between two antagonistic species has been widely studied theoretically for both ecologically- and genetically-driven Red Queen dynamics. A typical outcome of these systems is an oscillatory behavior causing an endless series of one species adaptation and others counter-adaptation. More recently, a mathematical model combining a three-species food chain system with an adaptive dynami...

This paper is concerned with empirical and theoretical basis of the E¢ cient Market Hypothesis (EMH). The paper begins with an overview of the statistical properties of asset returns at di¤erent frequencies (daily, weekly and monthly), and considers the evidence on return predictability, risk aversion and market e¢ ciency. The paper then focuses on the theoretical foundation of the EMH, and sho...

Predictability of Asset Returns and the Efficient Market Hypothesis This paper is concerned with empirical and theoretical basis of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). The paper begins with an overview of the statistical properties of asset returns at different frequencies (daily, weekly and monthly), and considers the evidence on return predictability, risk aversion and market efficiency. T...

Abstract Scriven’s paradox of predictability arises from the combination two ideas: first, that everything in a deterministic universe is, principle, predictable; second, it is possible to create system falsifies any prediction made it. Recently, has been used by Rummens and Cuypers argue there fundamental difference between embedded external predictors; Ismael against governing conception laws...

quantitative relationships between molecular structure of forty eight aldehyde compounds with their known cathepsin k inhibitory effects were discovered by partial least squares (pls) method. evaluation of a test set of 10 compounds with the developed pls model revealed that this model is reliable with a good predictability. since the qsar study was performed on the basis of theoretical descrip...

In the last two lectures we have seen that the relative entropy between a prediction density and an equilibrium density is a natural measure of the predictability of a statistical system. Furthermore in Lecture 5 we have seen that in a continuous Markov random process governed by the Fokker Planck equation (FPE), the relative entropy between an arbitrary density and the equilibrium density decl...

PURPOSE To assess short-term clinical outcomes after implantation of phakic intraocular lenses (Visian ICL, STAAR Surgical Co) in US military warfighters who are not good candidates for laser vision correction. METHODS A retrospective interventional consecutive case series analysis of all eyes that underwent ICL surgery during a 14-month time period was performed. Main outcome measures includ...
