Rejoinder to ``Analysis of variance--why it is more important than ever'' by A. Gelman [math.ST/0504499]
We quantify the long term impact that the coauthorship with established top-cited scientists has on the career of junior researchers in four different scientific disciplines. Through matched pair analysis, we find that junior researchers…
A new entanglement measure, which is called D-concurrence, is proposed. Then the upper and lower bounds for D-concurrence are obtained and the relationship between D-concurrence and the usual concurrence of Wootters was established. In…
A review of the empirical literature on access to scholarly information. This review focuses on surveys of authors, article download and citation analysis.
In recent years, random matrices have come to play a major role in computational mathematics, but most of the classical areas of random matrix theory remain the province of experts. Over the last decade, with the advent of matrix…
Research funding systems are not isolated systems - they are embedded in a larger scientific system with an enormous influence on the system. This paper aims to analyze the allocation of competitive research funding from different…
Inter-disciplinary research (IDR) is being promoted by federal agencies and universities nationwide because it presumably spurs transformative, innovative science. In this paper we bring empirical data to assess whether IDR is indeed…
This article is a review of analytical performance modeling for computer systems. It discusses the motivation for this area of research, examines key issues, introduces some ideas, illustrates how it is applied, and points out a role that…
Many sciences have made significant breakthroughs by adopting online tools that help organize, structure and mine information that is too detailed to be printed in journals. In this paper, we introduce OpenML, a place for machine learning…
This paper introduces reproducible research, and explains its importance, benefits and challenges. Some important tools for conducting reproducible research in Transportation Research are also introduced. Moreover, the source code for…
This is an expanded version of the Notices of the AMS column with the same title. The text is unchanged, but we added acknowledgements and a large number of endnotes which provide the context and the references.
This paper continues the application of circuit theory to experimental design started by the first two authors. The theory gives a very special and detailed representation of the kernel of the design model matrix. This representation turns…
In a context where most published articles are devoted to the development of "new methods", comparison studies are generally appreciated by readers but surprisingly given poor consideration by many scientific journals. In connection with…
The present paper is devoted to the study of Jensen-Mercer-type inequalities. Our results generalize and improve some earlier results in the literature.
Recommender systems have become increasingly important with the rise of the web as a medium for electronic and business transactions. One of the key drivers of this technology is the ease with which users can provide feedback about their…
Citations among research papers, and the networks they form, are the primary object of study in scientometrics. The act of making a citation reflects the citer's knowledge of the related literature, and of the work being cited. We aim to…
Rigour is crucial for scientific research as it ensures the reproducibility and validity of results and findings. Despite its importance, little work exists on modelling rigour computationally, and there is a lack of analysis on whether…
In this work, a generalization of the well known Bernoulli inequality is obtained by using the theory of discrete fractional calculus. As far as we know our approach is novel.
In contrast to many other scientific disciplines, computer science considers conference publications. Conferences have the advantage of providing fast publication of papers and of bringing researchers together to present and discuss the…
This paper does three things: It proves a central limit theorem for novel permutation statistics (for example, the number of descents plus the number of descents in the inverse). It provides a clear illustration of a new approach to proving…
