Binary constant-length substitutions and Mahler measures of Borwein polynomials [PDF]

in: From Analysis to Visualization, eds. D.H. Bailey, N.S. Borwein, R.P. Brent, R.S. Burachik, J.H. Osborn, B. Sims and Q.J Zhu, PROMS 313, Springer, Cham (2020), pp. 303-322, 2017
We show that the Mahler measure of every Borwein polynomial -- a polynomial with coefficients in $ \{-1,0,1 \}$ having non-zero constant term -- can be expressed as a maximal Lyapunov exponent of a matrix cocycle that arises in the spectral theory of binary constant-length substitutions.

Simple Sensitivity Analysis for Differential Measurement Error [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Simple sensitivity analysis results are given for differential measurement error of either the exposure or the outcome. In the case of differential measurement error of the outcome it is shown that the true effect of the exposure on the outcome on the risk ratio scale must be at least as large as the observed association between the exposure and the ...
