Simple Linear Rank Tests for Two-Sample Data

For two-sample data (where the observations are classified into two levels), PROC NPAR1WAY calculates simple linear rank statistics for the scores that you specify. The "Scores for Linear Rank and One ...

New Algorithm Breaks Speed Limit for Solving Linear Equations

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Linear Home Ranges: Effects of Smoothing, Sample Size, and Autocorrelation on Kernel Estimates

Simulations are necessary to assess the performance of home-range estimators because the true distribution of empirical data is unknown, but we must question whether that performance applies to ...
