Bell’s [Physics 1 (1964) 195–200] theorem is popularly supposed to establish the nonlocality
of quantum physics. Violation of Bell’s inequality in experiments such as that of Aspect, …

Interest in problems of statistical inference connected to measurements of quantum systems
has recently increased substantially, in step with dramatic new developments in …

The Cox regression model for censored survival data specifies that covariates have a
proportional effect on the hazard function of the life-time distribution of an individual. In this paper …

Modern survival analysis and more general event history analysis may be effectively handled
in the mathematical framework of counting processes, stochastic integration, martingale …

The correspondence between a survival function and its hazard or failure-rate is a central
idea in survival analysis and in the theory of counting processes. This correspondence is …

After introducing the approach to von Mises derivatives based on compact differentiation due
to Reeds (1976), we show how non-parametric maximum likelihood estimators can often …

We study counting process models for event history data where the intensities depend on
unobservable quantities ("frailties"). Examples include models for dependent failure times and …

Detailed observations are presented on the generation and loss of runaway electrons
following density limit disruptions in the JET tokamak with carbon limited discharges. Direct …

In JET, both high density and low-q operation are limited by disruptions. The density limit
disruptions are caused initially by impurity radiation. This causes a contraction of the plasma …

We use a Bayesian version of the Cramér-Rao lower bound due to van Trees to give an
elementary proof that the limiting distribution of any regular estimator cannot have a variance …
