Memorial to the classical statistics

Bell System Technical Journal, 1943
ONE of the most elusive and perplexing, hazy and confusing of the parts of theoretical physics is that which bears the name of “statistical mechanics”.∗ On the principle that a tree is to be judged by its fruits, this must be ranked as high as the tree which bore the golden apples of the Hesperides; for among its fruits are the Maxwell-Boltzmann ...

The mental health and well-being of students and teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic: combining classical statistics and machine learning approaches

Educational Psychology, 2023
The aims of this study were to (1) to explore the state of students’ and teachers’ well-being and (2) examine the factors that predict their well-being during the pandemic-related school closures in the Philippines.

Classical versus Bayesian Statistics

Philosophy of Science, 2020
In statistics, there are two main paradigms: classical and Bayesian statistics. The purpose of this article is to investigate the extent to which classicists and Bayesians can (in some suitable sense of the word) agree. My conclusion is that, in certain situations, they cannot. The upshot is that, if we assume that the classicist is not allowed to have

Classical Statistics

2013
All hurricanes are different. Statistics helps you characterize hurricanes from the typical to the extreme. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to classical (or frequentist) statistics. To get the most out of it, we again encourage you to open an R session and type in the code as you read along. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize your

Classical Statistical Mechanics

2021
This chapter focusses mainly upon the classical mechanical evaluation of the partition function for a gas of structureless atoms, and begins with a discussion of energy equipartition. The role of interatomic interactions is examined using the grand partition function, as it enables a more convenient separation of the roles played by kinetic and ...

Classical model of intermediate statistics

Physical Review E, 1994
In this work we present a classical kinetic model of intermediate statistics. In the case of Brownian particles we show that the Fermi-Dirac (FD) and Bose-Einstein (BE) distributions can be obtained, just as the Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution, as steady states of a classical kinetic equation that intrinsically takes into account an exclusion ...

Classical Statistical Mechanics

1993
Matter on the macroscopic scale always consists of a very large number of particles (atoms or molecules). The number of particles in the macroscopic volume element of a cubic meter or a liter is of the order of magnitude of 1023. It is self-evident that it makes no sense to try to write out and solve the equations of motion for this number of particles.

Algorithmic High-Dimensional Robust Statistics

, 2023
Robust statistics is the study of designing estimators that perform well even when the dataset significantly deviates from the idealized modeling assumptions, such as in the presence of model misspecification or adversarial outliers in the dataset.
