This paper introduces a parametrically parsimonious model for yield curves that has the ability
to represent the shapes generally associated with yield curves: monotonic, humped, and …

… I am fortunate to have been able to work with my parents, Mildred and Armand Siegel,
who provided many careful and detailed suggestions for the text. Very special thanks go to …

Motivation: In model organisms such as yeast, large databases of protein–protein and
protein-DNA interactions have become an extremely important resource for the study of protein …

We study the properties of unconditional minimum‐variance portfolios in the presence of
conditioning information. Such portfolios attain the smallest variance for a given mean among …

The repeated median algorithm is a robustified U-statistic in which nested medians replace
the single mean. Unlike many generalizations of the univariate median, repeated median …

This study distinguishes between incremental and relative information content. Incremental
comparisons ask whether one accounting measure provides information content beyond that …

Different experimental technologies measure different aspects of a system and to differing
depth and breadth. High-throughput assays have inherently high false-positive and false-…

Although two-color fluorescent DNA microarrays are now standard equipment in many
molecular biology laboratories, methods for identifying differentially expressed genes in …

… A Borel-measurable function/ and random variables U, V such that E[f( U, V) Iu ] is almost
surely equal to one, but for any fixed u we have E[f(u, V) Iu ] is almost surely equal to zero …

Localized differences in the form of two related animal skeletons are more effectively
determined when resistant fitting techniques are used rather than least squares. The repeated …
