We have previously discussed the importance of estimating uncertainty in our measurements and incorporating it into data analysis 1. To know the extent to which we can generalize our observations, we ...

It is believed that new types of computing machines will be constructed to exploit quantum mechanics for an exponential speed advantage in solving certain problems compared with classical computers 9.

Some general results concerning the asymptotic behavior of the value of the empirical distribution function at a random point (e.g. the sample mean) are given. These results are then used to obtain: ...

The “tail” of a particle size distribution references the particles that are several standard deviations removed from the mean of the standard Gaussian distribution. Figure 1 demonstrates the ...

By Courtney Kennedy, Andrew Mercer, Scott Keeter, Nick Hatley, Kyley McGeeney and Alejandra Gimenez As the costs and nonresponse rates of traditional, probability-based surveys seem to grow each year, ...
