We propose a new method of gravitational wave detection using a modified form of higher criticism, a statistical technique introduced by Donoho & Jin (2004). Higher criticism is designed to detect a group of sparse, weak sources, none of which are strong enough to be reliably estimated or detected individually. We apply higher criticism as a second-pass method to synthetic F-statistic and C-sta...

In conclusion, we should like to add two admonitions. First, criticism is an art, not the raw tables or summaries of scholarship. The scholarship is a necessary prerequisite, and the formal reports, the compilations of the learned monograph, are essential to criticism. We have too much of unimaginative word counting, the pedestrian assemblage of arguments, the methodical and generalized comment...

In many applications, including analysis of seismic signals, Daubechies wavelets perform much better than other families wavelets. this paper, we provide a possible theoretical explanation for the empirical success Specifically, show that these are optimal with respect to any optimality criterion satisfies natural properties scale- and shift-invariance.

Objective: Self-harming behavior is a major clinical issue in adolescence. Childhood trauma, emotion dysregulation, and self-criticism are the main concerns associated with self-harming behavior. In this study, we investigated the relationship between childhood trauma, emotion dysregulation, and self-criticism with self-harming behaviors among adolescents in Iran. Methods: A sample of 558 (263...
