Neural Response Reliability as a Marker of the Transition of Neural Codes along Auditory Pathways
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Decoding sound from neural activity in mice reveals a striking shift in how the brain encodes sound: from precise but redundant timing codes in early auditory areas to efficient, synergistic rate‐based codes in the cortex. This transformation highlights a robust neural strategy for turning complex acoustic input into coherent perception across the ...

On the tail dependence in bivariate hydrological frequency analysis
Dependence Modeling, 2015 In Bivariate Frequency Analysis (BFA) of hydrological events, the study and quantification of the dependence between several variables of interest is commonly carried out through Pearson’s correlation (r), Kendall’s tau (τ) or Spearman’s rho (ρ).

Characterizations of a family of bivariate Pareto distributions
Statistica, 2015 In the present paper, we study properties of a family of bivariate Pareto distributions. The well known dullness property of the univariate Pareto model is extended to the bivariate setup. Two measures of income inequality viz.
