Prior distributions for variance parameters in hierarchical models (comment on article by Browne and Draper)
Various noninformative prior distributions have been suggested for scale parameters in\nhierarchical models. We construct a new folded-noncentral-$t$ family of conditionally\nco...
Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the de...
Political Theology: Four Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty
Written in the intense and intellectual ferment of the early years of the Weimar Republic, Political Theology develops the distinctive theory of sovereignty that marks Carl Sch...
A Measure of Asymptotic Efficiency for Tests of a Hypothesis Based on the sum of Observations
In many cases an optimum or computationally convenient test of a simple hypothesis $H_0$ against a simple alternative $H_1$ may be given in the following form. Reject $H_0$ if $...
Neural Networks and the Bias/Variance Dilemma
Feedforward neural networks trained by error backpropagation are examples of nonparametric regression estimators. We present a tutorial on nonparametric inference and its relati...

Gene Silencing in Cancer in Association with Promoter Hypermethylation
This article reviews the mechanisms of gene silencing in cancer and clinical applications of this phenomenon. The silencing of genes, especially tumor-suppressor genes, is a key...
