One swallow doesn't make a summer: A note
Kataria, Mitesh - 2013
Maniadis et al. (2013) present a theoretical framework that aims at providing insights into the mechanics of proper inference. They suggest that a decision about whether to call an experimental finding noteworthy, or deserving of great attention, should be based on the calculated post-study...

Testing for a Constant Mean Function using Functional Regression
Cho, Jin Seo; Huang, Meng; White, Halbert - Institute of Economic Research, Korea University - 2009
In this paper, we study functional regression and its properties in testing the hypothesis of a constant zero mean function or an unknown constant non-zero mean function. As we show, the associated Wald test statistics have standard chi-square limiting null distributions, standard non-central...

Modelling Opinion Formation with Physics Tools: Call for Closer Link with Reality
Sobkowicz, Pawel - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 12 (2009) 1, pp. 11-11
The growing field of studies of opinion formation using physical formalisms and computer simulation based tools suffers from relative lack of connection to the 'real world' societal behaviour. Such sociophysics research should aim at explaining observations or at proposing new ones....
