The development and use of dimension reduction methods is prevalent in modern statistical literature. This paper reviews a class of dimension reduction techniques which aim to simultaneously select relevant predictors and find clusters…
The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…
We provide a faithful translation of Hans Richter's important 1949 paper "Verzerrungstensor, Verzerrungsdeviator und Spannungstensor bei endlichen Form\"anderungen" from its original German version into English, complemented by an…
A novel test in the linear $\ell_1$ (LAD) and quantile regressions is proposed, based on the scores provided by the dual variables (signs) arising in the calculation of the (so-called) affine-lasso estimate--a Rao-type, Lagrange multiplier…
This paper raises concerns about the advantages of using statistical significance tests in research assessments as has recently been suggested in the debate about proper normalization procedures for citation indicators. Statistical…
In this comment we discuss relative strengths and weaknesses of simplex and Dirichlet Dempster-Shafer inference as applied to multi-resolution tests of independence.
We present an overview of some significant results of Thurston and their impact on mathematics. The final version of this paper will appear as Chapter 1 of the book "In the tradition of Thurston: Geometry and topology", edited by K. Ohshika…
The paper provides a new test of convergence and divergence of positive series. In particular, it extends the known test by Margaret Martin [%\emph{Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.} \textbf{47} (6), 452--457 (1941)]. \emph{Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.}…
A simple proof of a key inequality required by the paper's analysis is presented. An introductory section discussing the paper's setup may be helpful to some readers. An alternative statistical analysis is suggested.
A number of topics in analysis are discussed, with emphasis on basic principles. There is some overlap with "Elements of linear and real analysis" (arXiv:math/0108030), with numerous changes in content and presentation since then.

I present a summary of recent developments as they have been discussed in the many interesting contributions to the workshop SIGHAD03 at Pisa.
Null hypothesis significance testing remains popular despite decades of concern about misuse and misinterpretation. We believe that much of the problem is due to language: significance testing has little to do with other meanings of the…
We briefly discuss some interesting questions related to the paper "Hypotheses testing by convex optimization" by Goldenshluger, Juditsky and Nemirovski.
A toy-model of publications and citations processes is proposed. The model shows that the role of randomness in the processes is essential and cannot be ignored. Some other aspects of scientific publications rating are discussed.
We propose a generalization of the lasso that allows the model coefficients to vary as a function of a general set of modifying variables. These modifiers might be variables such as gender, age or time. The paradigm is quite general, with…
