Summary We have two sets of parameters we wish to estimate, and wonder whether the James-Stein estimator should be applied separately to the two sets or once to the combined pro...
Summary We consider the estimation of a probability density function by linear smoothing of the observed density. A basis for estimation is obtained by assuming that the ordinat...
The factors that determine the origin and fate of cross-species transmission events remain unclear for the majority of human pathogens, despite being central for the development...
This paper investigates whether the age of the Galaxy can be deduced from natural radioactivity. I demonstrate that two recent influential claims (by Butcher and by Fowler) that...
