Despite claims that Bell’s inequalities are based on the Einstein locality condition, or equivalent, all derivations make an identical mathematical assumption: that local hidden-variable theories produce a set of positive-definite probabilities for detecting a particle with a given spin orientation. The standard argument is that because quantum mechanics assumes that particles are emitted in a ...

During the stationary part of neuronal spiking response, the stimulus can be encoded in the firing rate, but also in the statistical structure of the interspike intervals. We propose and discuss two information-based measures of statistical dispersion of the interspike interval distribution, the entropy-based dispersion and Fisher information-based dispersion. The measures are compared with the...

in this paper, we introduce a new kind of order, cesaro supermodular order, which includes supermodular order and stochastic order. for this new order, we show that it almost fulfils all desirable properties of a multivariate positive dependence order that have been proposed by joe (1997). also, we obtain some relations between it with other orders. finally, we consider different issues related...
