ABSTRACT Given random variables Y1,…,Yn$$ {Y}_1,\dots, {Y}_n $$ with Yi∈{0,1}$$ {Y}_i\in \left\{0,1\right\} $$ we test the hypothesis whether the underlying success probabilities pi$$ {p}_i $$ are constant or whether they are periodic with an unspecified period length of r≥2$$ r\ge 2 $$.

What Voting Power Cannot Be

Noûs, EarlyView.

Structure and Computation

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is a truism of mathematics that differences between isomorphic number systems are irrelevant to arithmetic. This truism is deeply rooted in the modern axiomatic method and underlies most strands of arithmetical structuralism, the view that arithmetic is about some abstract number structure.

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.
