Recent articles have addressed the problem to construct the confidence intervals for the mean of a normal distribution where the parameter space is restricted, see for example Wang [Confidence intervals for the mean of a normal distribution with restricted parameter space. Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, Vol. 78, No. 9, 2008, 829–841.], we derived, in this paper, analytic exp...

We construct an asymptotic confidence interval for the mean of a class of nonstationary processes with constant mean and time-varying variances. Due to the large number of unknown parameters, traditional approaches based on consistent estimation of the limiting variance of sample mean through moving block or non-overlapping block methods are not applicable. Under a block-wise asymptotically equ...

Abstract Contemporary population ethics is dominated by views that aggregate summing, whether of well-being or some construct based on well-being. In contrast, average generally considered axiologically irrelevant. To many us, however, the number future people does not seem important, as long it sufficient to enable rich and varied life experiences, continues throughout time. It therefore seems...

Abstract We initiate the study of T ¯ -like irrelevant solvable deformations in quantum field theory with boundaries and defects. For this purpose, we employ a general formali...

A bstract Irrelevant operators in a CFT modify the usual Weyl transformation of metric. metric beta-function turns on, which modifies anomalies as well. In this paper, we study relation between bulk diffeomorphisms and at boundary when massive scalar field, sources irrelevant boundary, is coupled to Considering effect backreaction generated by provide holographic description anomalies. Our resu...

The ability to answer prediction questions is crucial in reasoning about physical systems. A prediction question poses a hypothetical scenario and asks for the resulting behavior of variables of interest. Prediction questions can be answered by simulating a model of the scenario. Constructing a suitable model requires distinguishing relevant aspects of the scenario from irrelevant aspects. This...
