We provide details on the full reconstruction of the dynamic equations from measured time series data, given the general class of the underlying physical process. Our results can be used by researchers in physical modelling and statistical mechanics interested in an efficient estimation of low...

In this paper, it is demonstrated that an extension to the exponential power family allows for robustness characteristics for the normal location parameter problem, previously thought to be restricted to the Student-t and a subclass of the positive stable families.

We show that the cumulative distribution function corresponding to a kernel density estimator with optimal bandwidth lies outside any confidence interval, around the empirical distribution function, with probability tending to 1 as the sample size increases.

This paper extends recent ideas for constructing classes of stationary autoregressive processes of order 1. A Gibbs sampler representation of such processes is extended in a straightforward way to introduce new processes. These maintain a linear expectation property which provides a simple...

This article employs events data to compare two studies of crisis bargaining: a qualitative study by Snyder and Diesing based on comparative case studies, and a quantitative study by Leng and Wheeler. Three propositions are tested: (1) both disputants will adopt increasingly coercive bargaining...

This study addresses the impact of crisis management strategies, stress, and groupthink conditions on the integrative complexity of British decision makers in 10 decision-making episodes during two Anglo-German crises in 1938 and 1939. A systematic random sample of Prime Minister Neville...
