Computing Contrasts, Effect Sizes, and Counternulls on Other People's Published Data: General Procedures for Research Consumers
(American Psychological Association, 1996)We describe convenient statistical procedures that will enable research consumers (e.g,, professional psychologists, graduate students, and researchers themselves) to reach beyond the published conclusions and make an ... -
Computing cooperative solution concepts in coalitional skill games
(Elsevier BV, 2013)We consider a simple model of cooperation among agents called Coalitional Skill Games (CSGs). This is a restricted form of coalitional games, where each agent has a set of skills that are required to complete various tasks. ... -
Computing Parametric Ranking Models via Rank-Breaking
(International Conference on Machine Learning, 2014)Rank breaking is a methodology introduced by Azari Soufiani et al. (2013a) for applying a Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) algorithm to the estimation of parametric ranking models. Breaking takes full rankings and breaks, ... -
Computing Reserve Prices and Identifying the Value Distribution in Real-World Auctions with Market Dynamics
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2008) -
Computing Sparse Representations in O(N log N) Time
(Signal Processing with Adaptive Sparse Structured Representations (SPARS 2013), 2013) -
Computing the communication costs of item allocation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2005)Multiagent systems require techniques for effectively allocating resources or tasks to among agents in a group. Auctions are one method for structuring communication of agents’ private values for the resource or task to a ... -
Computing The Kullback-Leibler Divergence Between Probabilistic Automata Using Rational Kernels
(2006)Kullback-Leibler divergence is a natural distance measure between two probabilistic finite-state automata. Computing this distance is difficult, since it requires a summation over a countably infinite number of strings. ... -
Computing the Steady Oceanic Circulation Using an Optimization Approach
(Elsevier, 1992)The traditional method for computing the steady oceanic circulation has been by stepping an oceanic model forward in time until transients are damped by friction. An alternative method, which has the potential for being ... -
Concatenated Codes for Deletion Channels
(2003)We design concatenated codes suitable for the deletion channel. The inner code is a combination of a single deletion correcting Varshamov-Tenengolts block code and a marker code. The outer code is a low-density parity-check ... -
Concealed weapons: Erectile claws in African frogs
(Royal Society Publishing, 2008)Vertebrate claws are used in a variety of important behaviours and are typically composed of a keratinous sheath overlying the terminal phalanx of a digit. Keratinous claws, however, are rare in living amphibians; their ... -
Concentrating on the Fall of the Labor Share
(American Economic Association, 2017-05)The recent fall of labor's share of GDP in numerous countries is well-documented, but its causes are poorly understood. We sketch a "superstar firm" model where industries are increasingly characterized by "winner take ... -
Concentrating the dark matter in galaxy clusters through tidal stripping of baryonically compressed galactic halos
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Gravitational lensing observations of massive X-ray clusters imply a steep characteristic density profile marked by a central concentration of dark matter. The observed mass fraction within a projected radius of 150 kpc ... -
Concentration bounds for quantum states and limitations on the QAOA from polynomial approximations
(Verein zur Forderung des Open Access Publizierens in den Quantenwissenschaften, 2023-05-11) -
Concentration bounds for quantum states with finite correlation length on quantum spin lattice systems
(IOP Publishing, 2016-08-08)We consider the problem of determining the energy distribution of quantum states that satisfy exponential decay of correlation and product states, with respect to a quantum local hamiltonian on a spin lattice. For a quantum ... -
Concentrations and snow-atmosphere fluxes of reactive nitrogen at Summit, Greenland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999)Concentrations and fluxes of NOy (total reactive nitrogen), ozone concentrations and fluxes of sensible heat, water vapor, and momentum were measured from May 1 to July 20, 1995 at Summit, Greenland. Median NOy concentrations ... -
Concentrations and Sources of Organic Carbon Aerosol in the Free Troposphere over North America
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)Aircraft measurements of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) aerosol over NE North America during summer 2004 (ITCT-2K4) are simulated with a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to test our understanding of the ... -
Concentrations of trace elements in human milk: Comparisons among women in Argentina, Namibia, Poland, and the United States
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)Human milk contains essential micronutrients for growth and development during early life. Environmental pollutants, such as potentially toxic metals, can also be transferred to the infant through human milk. These elements ... -
Concept Attribution in Nonhuman Animals: Theoretical and Methodological Problems in Ascribing Complex Mental Processes
(University of Chicago Press, 1991)The demise of behaviorism has made ethologists more willing to ascribe mental states to animals. However, a methodology that can avoid the charge of excessive anthropomorphism is needed. We describe a series of experiments ... -
Concept Expansion as a Source of Empowerment
(Informa UK Limited, 2016)In the target article, Nick Haslam (this issue) explores the incidence, origins, and potential consequences of concept creep in psychology. He dedicates the majority of the article to documenting how concept creep has ... -
Conceptions of Limited Attention and Discourse Focus
(Association for Computational Linguistics/MIT, 1999)Walker (1996) presents a cache model of the operation of attention in the processing of discourse as an alternative to the focus space stack that was proposed previously by Grosz and Sidner (Grosz 1977a; Grosz and Sidner ...
