(2023-05-16)Department: BiostatisticsThe False Discovery Rate (FDR) was introduced as an alternative multiple comparisons adjustment to controlling the family wise error rate. While many variations of the FDR have been proposed, the weakness of the p-value – ...

(2006-06-05)Department: MathematicsThe subject of this work is application of combinatorial group theory to the problem of constructing groups with prescribed properties. It is shown how certain groups can be presented by generators and defining relations, thus ...

(Vanderbilt University, 2006)Previous literature has shown that local indeterminacy and local instability can arise in two-sector models when factor market distortions create a divergence between capital intensity ranking of the sectors on a physical ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)Serge Kolm's "epistemic counterfactual principle" says that a social choice only needs to be made from the actual feasible set of alternatives given the actual preference profile, but it must be justified by the choices ...
