Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

The multisource adaptive fusion CNN‐transformer method proposed in this study can provide theoretical and technical support for fault diagnosis of high‐voltage MCHBI. It has a promising potential for engineering applications. Abstract In high‐voltage applications, the number of cascaded H‐bridge inverter units is large, the failure probability ...

Advanced circular statistics in biology: Multiple factors, interactions and repeated measures
Abstract Circular data is common across biology and the wider sciences, but presents unique analytical challenges due to their wrapped structure, where endpoints coincide (e.g. 360° = 0°). This requires the use of specific statistical methods. Traditional tests like the Rayleigh and Watson U2 tests remain widely used, but lack flexibility in handling ...

Abstract This study examines the adaptive market hypothesis in the prewar and wartime Japanese stock market using a new market capitalization‐weighted price index. First, we find that the degree of market efficiency varies over time and with major historical events. This implies that the hypothesis is supported in this market.

Bayesian inverse problems and seismic inversion
The Bayesian formulation for inverse problems gives a way of making inferences about unknown quantities not directly observable. The application of Bayes' Theorem combines the prior information and the observation to give a posterior measure, which contains information about the quantity we are trying to estimate. In this thesis, we review a particular

Police department design, political pressure, and racial inequality in arrests
Abstract This paper theorizes a source of bias in discretionary arrests: strategic limits on police officer learning. Officers have a variety of tactics at their disposal besides arrest that they use for less serious offenses when they judge the underlying behavior to be less severe. In departments led by a chief with special expertise in crime control,

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development
Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...
