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, …

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

The vague title is a cover-up for the more honest'topics in and around survival analysis which
interest me at the moment, with an audience of French probabilists in mind'. Accordingly, …

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 …

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 …

The notion of coarsening at random (CAR) was introduced by Heitjan and Rubin (1991) to
describe the most general form of randomly grouped, censored, or missing data, for which the …

We consider the problem of estimating the state of a large but finite number N of identical
quantum systems. As N becomes large the problem simplifies dramatically. The only relevant …

Random left truncation is modelled by the conditional distribution of the random variable X
of interest, given that it is larger than the truncating random variable Y; usually X and Y are …

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 …
