Overweight deformations of affine toric varieties and local uniformization [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We study Abhyankar valuations of excellent equicharacteristic local domains with an algebraically closed residue field. For zero dimensional valuations we prove that whenever the ring is complete and the semigroup of values taken by the valuation is finitely generated (which implies that the valuation is Abhyankar) the valuation can be uniformized in ...

Prospective Prediction of Body Mass Index Trajectories using Multi-task Gaussian Processes [PDF]
arXivClinicians often investigate the body mass index (BMI) trajectories of children to assess their growth with respect to their peers, as well as to anticipate future growth and disease risk. While retrospective modelling of BMI trajectories has been an active area of research, prospective prediction of continuous BMI trajectories from historical growth ...
