This article presents several alternatives to Pearson's correlation coefficient and many examples. In the samples where the rank in a discrete variable counts more than the variable values, the mixtures that we propose of Pearson's and…
Statistical NLP systems are frequently evaluated and compared on the basis of their performances on a single split of training and test data. Results obtained using a single split are, however, subject to sampling noise. In this paper we…
Using 58 million J/psi and 14 million psi' decays obtained by the BESII experiment, the branching fraction of J/psi --> pi+ pi- pi0 is determined. The result is (2.10+/-0.12)X10^{-2}, which is significantly higher than previous…
Different ways of extracting parameters of interest from combined data sets of separate experiments are investigated accounting for the systematic errors. It is shown, that the frequentist approach may yield larger $\chi^2$ values when…
The BES Collaboration has measured $\Psi(2S)$ decay to $J/\Psi \pi^+\pi^-$. Using the mixed hybrid theory for the $\Psi(2S)$ we estimate the decay to $J/\Psi(1S)$ + $\sigma$. Using the known $\sigma \rightarrow 2\pi$ coupling constant, we…
The multiplicity distribution of particles in relativistic gases is studied in terms of Tsallis' nonextensive statistics. For an entropic index q>1 the multiplicity distribution is wider than the Poisson distribution with the same average…
Statistical physics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the…
A deterministic sequence of real numbers in the unit interval is called \emph{equidistributed} if its empirical distribution converges to the uniform distribution. Furthermore, the limit distribution of the pair correlation statistics of a…
Some of the studies performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations to establish the future sensitivity of the experiments to extra dimension signals are reviewed. The discrimination of those signals from other new physics signals and the…
Tsallis Statistics was used to investigate the non-Boltzmann distribution of particle spectra and their dependence on particle species and beam energy in the relativistic heavy-ion collisions at SPS and RHIC. Produced particles are assumed…
The interplay of pairing is explored for the spectral statistics of nuclear systems with emphasis on the nearest neighbor spacing distributions by employing the kernel density and maximum likelihood estimation techniques. Different…
A paired comparison analysis is the simplest way to make comparative judgments between objects where objects may be goods, services or skills. For a set of problems, this technique helps to choose the most important problem to solve first…
In this paper we study the Exponentiated Hypoexponential Distribution with different parameters. The distribution added a parameter to the n parameters of the Hypoexponenial distribution. We first derive a closed expression of the…
We study distributional similarity measures for the purpose of improving probability estimation for unseen cooccurrences. Our contributions are three-fold: an empirical comparison of a broad range of measures; a classification of similarity…
Data on B+ --> J/psi phi K+ and the Y(4140) enhancement recently reported by the CDF collaboration [arxiv:0903.2229] are analysed. The threshold behaviour, as well as traces of the X(4260) enhancement, the known c-cbar resonances psi(2D),…
The process e+e- ->pi+pi- has been studied with the SND detector at VEPP-2M e+e- collider in the vicinity of phi(1020) resonance. From the analysis of the energy dependence of measured cross section the branching ratio…
Recent work has focused attention on statistical inference for the population distribution of the number of sexual partners based on survey data. The characteristics of these distributions are of interest as components of mathematical…

Hirsch has introduced the h-index to quantify an individual's scientific research output by the largest number h of a scientist's papers that received at least h citations. In order to take into account the highly skewed frequency…
In this paper we extend the well-known investigations of Montgomery and Goldston & Montgomery, concerning the pair-correlation function and its relations with the distribution of primes in short intervals, to a more general version of the…
