The Full Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) has been proposed as a convenient method to replace frequentist p-values for testing precise hypothesis. Although the FBST enjoys various appealing properties, purpose of this paper is investigate two aspects which are sometimes observed measure-theoretic inconsistencies procedure and have not discussed rigorously in literature. First, uses posterior d...

Let A be a certain irreducible 0-1 matrix and let t denote the family of piecewise linear Markov maps on [0,1] which are consistent with A. The main result of this paper characterizes those maps in t whose (unique) absolutely continuous invariant measure is maximal, and proves that for "most" of the maps that are consistent with A, the absolutely continuous invariant measure is not maximal.

Fact 1. The set Z is infinite. Proof: It is certainly nonempty, so we would like to show that for no n ∈ Z is there a bijection ι : [n] → Z. This seems obvious. Unfortunately, sometimes in mathematics we must struggle to show that the obvious is true (and sometimes what seems obvious is not true!). Here we face the additional problem of not having formally axiomatized things, so it’s not comple...

It is too often that tracking algorithms lose track of interest points in image sequences. This persistent problem is difficult because the pixels around an interest point change in appearance or move in unpredictable ways. In this paper we explore how classifying videos into categories of camera motion improves the tracking of interest points, by selecting the right specialist motion model for...

A 31-year-old patient complained of severe crushing chest pain that radiated to his left arm and jaw. After admission to the hospital, tests revealed a normal electrocardiogram, normal treadmill, normal coronary arteriogram, and normal cardiac enzymes. However, the patient continued to have pain, which was relieved by sublingual and intravenous nitroglycerine. He was discharged from the hospita...

Moon, of Dundee, in November 1893. He was then reported to be childish in manner, usually absolutely taciturn, although cheerful and talkative at times ; patellar reflex absent; loss of control of bladder and rectum ; walking and standing steadily ; occasionally sliding off his chair on to the floor with a thump, and remaining stiff; eyes sometimes open, sometimes closed; no spasm. I found him ...
