Type II string theory and modularity
Kriz, Igor; Sati, Hisham - 2005
This paper, in a sense, completes a series of three papers. In the previous two [1],[2], we have explored the possibility of refining the K-theory partition function in type II string theories using elliptic cohomology. In the present paper, we make that more concrete by defining a fully...

Fitting Semiparametric Additive Hazards Models using Standard Statistical Software
Schaubel, Douglas E.; Wei, Guanghui - 2007
The Cox proportional hazards model has become the standard in biomedical studies, particularly for settings in which the estimation covariate effects (as opposed to prediction) is the primary objective. In spite of the obvious flexibility of this approach and its wide applicability, the model is...

Accounting for Estimation Optimality Criteria in Simulated Annealing
Goovaerts, Pierre - 1998
This paper presents both estimation and simulation as optimization problems that differ in the optimization criteria, minimization of a local expected loss for estimation and reproduction of global statistics (semivariogram, histogram) for simulation. An intermediate approach is proposed whereby...
