Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models
Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...

Introduction to axiomatic set theory
In 1963, the first author introduced a course in set theory at the Uni versity of Illinois whose main objectives were to cover G6del's work on the consistency of the axiom of choice (AC) and the generalized con tinuum hypothesis (GCH), and Cohen's work

In a framework with two parties, deterministic voter preferences and a type of geographical constraints, we propose a set of simple axioms and show that they jointly characterize the districting rule that maximizes the number of districts one party can ...

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality
Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

To What Extent Contemporary Mathematical Science is Reliable
The crisis in foundation of mathematics at the end of 19th beginning of 20th centuries initiated a number of axiomatic set theoretical systems during the first half of the 20th century. These systems were the result of different philosophical approaches (

Statin‐associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are frequent adverse effects of statin therapy and have been hypothesized to result from impaired coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis. Although genetic determinants of CoQ10 levels have been reported, genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) conducted specifically in statin users are lacking. Moreover, direct CoQ10

The main goal of this paper is to introduce and investigate the related theory on monadic effect algebras. First, we design the axiomatic system of existential quantifiers on effect algebras and then use it to give the definition of the universal ...

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...

Geopolitics and global strategy: Making money under anarchy
Abstract Research Summary Multinational firms conduct cross‐border trade and investment in a world of anarchy, where nation‐states must secure their survival in the absence of a world government. We develop a geopolitical‐economic order (GEO) framework to argue that the extent of geopolitical competition incentivizes states to create one of two types ...
