Why Are All the Sets All the Sets?
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Necessitists about set theory think that the pure sets exists, and are the way they are, as a matter of necessity. They cannot explain why the sets (de rebus) are all the sets. This constitutes the Ur‐Objection against necessitism; it is the primary motivation cited by potentialists about set theory.

Inequality of Opportunity in Wealth: Levels, Trends and Drivers in Germany
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper studies inequality of opportunity (IOp) in individual net wealth in Germany from 2002 to 2019 using the Socio‐Economic Panel (SOEP). Applying the ex‐ante IOp framework, we quantify the share of wealth inequality attributable to immutable circumstances and benchmark it against IOp in gross labour earnings.

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

The New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Defended
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Joe Schmid and Troy Dana have recently advanced several criticisms of the New Hilbert's Hotel Argument formulated by us. In this paper, we respond by undercutting their proposed defeaters. First, we argue that they fail to refute the claim that Hilbert's Hotel entails a logical contradiction in the concrete world.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Repelled Point Processes With Application to Numerical Integration
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We look at Monte Carlo numerical integration from a stochastic geometry point of view. While crude Monte Carlo estimators relate to linear statistics of a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), linear statistics of more regularly spread point processes can yield unbiased estimators with faster‐decaying variance, and thus lower integration ...

Sparse Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance for Feature Selection
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a feature screening method that integrates both feature–feature and feature–target relationships. Inactive features are identified via a penalized minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) procedure, which is the continuous version of the classical mRMR penalized by a non‐convex regularizer, and where the parameters estimated as ...
