String theory suggests that the most fundamental building blocks of the universe are not particles like electrons or quarks, but tiny, vibrating strings of energy. It is the vibration and arrangement ...

Bootstrap percolation, a model of irreversible activation on graphs, has emerged as a pivotal area within graph theory and statistical mechanics. In this process, nodes (or vertices) on a network are ...

We propose a new method, based on sample splitting, for constructing bootstrap confidence bounds for a parameter appearing in the regular smooth function model. It has been demonstrated in the ...

String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a “provable” phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant ...

I have been intrigued by some spots airing recently on local radio stations: “Support for this WBEZ program is provided by Yellow Cab, whose diverse drivers have been serving Chicagoland since 1915.

Efron's "bootstrap" method of distribution approximation is shown to be asymptotically valid in a large number of situations, including t-statistics, the empirical and quantile processes, and von ...

In a recent interview on public television (PBS), Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said, “We have always expected people to stand on their own two ...
