Bayes Estimates for the Linear Model
Summary The usual linear statistical model is reanalyzed using Bayesian methods and the concept of exchangeability. The general method is illustrated by applications to two-fact...

X. The Bakerian Lecture. —Experimental relations of gold (and other metals) to light
That wonderful production of the human mind, the undulatory theory of light, with the phenomena for which it strives to account, seems to me, who am only an experimentalist, to ...
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Releases 10 and 11 Galaxy samples
We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Os...
The interpretation of a moving retinal image
It is shown that from a monocular view of a rigid, textured, curved surface it is possible, in principle, to determine the gradient of the surface at any point, and the motion o...
Quantum computational networks
The theory of quantum computational networks is the quantum generalization of the theory of logic circuits used in classical computing machines. Quantum gates are the generaliza...
An energy principle for hydromagnetic stability problems
The problem of the stability of static, highly conducting, fully ionized plasmas is investigated by means of an energy principle developed from one introduced by Lundquist. The ...
Model Uncertainty, Data Mining and Statistical Inference
This paper takes a broad, pragmatic view of statistical inference to include all aspects of model formulation. The estimation of model parameters traditionally assumes that a mo...
An application of normal mode theory to the retrieval of structural parameters and source mechanisms from seismic spectra
A cyclic process of refining models of the mechanical structure of the Earth and models of the mechanism of one or more earthquakes is developed. The theory of the elastic-gravi...
Willed action and the prefrontal cortex in man: a study with PET
We used positron emission tomography to contrast changes in cerebral blood flow associated with willed and routine acts. In the six tasks used, volunteers had to make a series o...
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Release 9 spectroscopic galaxy sample
We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation\nSpectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III\n(SDSS-III). These use t...
Precision photometry of early-type galaxies in the Coma and Virgo clusters: a test of the universality of the colour-magnitude relation - II. Analysis
We have undertaken a detailed comparison of the colours of early-type galaxies in the Virgo and Coma clusters. In Paper I (this issue), we presented our system of homogeneous U,...
