Test of Information Theory on the Boltzmann Equation [PDF]

, 2003
We examine information theory using the steady-state Boltzmann equation. In a nonequilibrium steady-state system under steady heat conduction, the thermodynamic quantities from information theory are calculated and compared with those from the steady ...

Testing causal quantum theory [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2018
Causal quantum theory assumes that measurements or collapses are well-defined physical processes, localized in space–time, and never give perfectly reliable outcomes and that the outcome of one measurement only influences the outcomes of others within its future light cone.

Some procedures for computerized ability testing [PDF]

, 1989
For computerized test systems to be operational, the use of item response theory is a prerequisite. As opposed to classical test theory, in item response models the abilities of the examinees and the properties of the items are parameterized separately ...

Statistical Inference for the Beta Coefficient

Risks, 2019
The beta coefficient plays a crucial role in finance as a risk measure of a portfolio in comparison to the benchmark portfolio. In the paper, we investigate statistical properties of the sample estimator for the beta coefficient.

Short-form development of the specific module of the QLICD-CRF(V2.0) for assessing the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022
Background A short instrument would enhance the viability of a study. Therefore, we aimed to shorten the specific module (SPD-10) of the Quality of Life Instrument for Chronic Diseases - Chronic Renal Failure (QLICD-CRF) for assessing the quality of life

Testing Theories of Happiness [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
AbstractLatter-day researches based on reported subjective well-being have improved the understanding of utility. The concept of utility has acquired a psychological content, and has proved to be operational in researches on income, unemployment, inflation, inequality, and democratic institutions in their relations with happiness. The authors plead for

Quantitative test of thermal field theory for Bose-Einstein condensates [PDF]

, 2003
We present numerical results from a full second order quantum field theory of Bose-Einstein condensates applied to the 1997 JILA experiment [D. S. Jin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 78, 764 (1997)]. Good agreement is found for the energies and decay rates

Sea-change: Transforming the ‘crisis’ in film theory

NECSUS, 2012
For some years now the academic study of film, particularly in the English-speaking world, has been marked by a sense of crisis; a period of rumination, self-examination, and speculation over the nature of its object, its cultural relevance, and its ...
