To help settle the debate around the authorship of Tirant lo Blanc, all words in each chapter are categorized according to their length, and the appearances of certain words are counted, thus forming two contingency tables of ordered rows. A Bayesian multinomial change-point analysis of the sequence of rows, reveals a clear stylistic boundary, estimated to be near chapters 371 and 382. A Bayesian cluster analysis of these rows confirms the existence of that boundary, and reveals a few chapt...

On the number of maximal subgroups and theta pairs in a finite group.
International Journal of Applied Mathematics & Statistics ; ABSTRACT Let M be a maximal subgroup of a finite group G. The pair (A, B) of subgroups of G is called a [theta]-pair of M if the following conditions hold: (a) B G, B < A, (b) < M, A >= G and B [less than or equal to] M and (c) A/B has no proper normal subgroup of G/B. In this paper, we
An overview of asymptotic properties of [L.sub.p] regression under general classes of error distributions.
Journal of the American Statistical Association ; 1. INTRODUCTION Consider a random sample ([Y.sub.1], [X.sub.1 ([Y.sub.n], [X.sub.n]) in a linear regression setting, such that [Y.sub.i] = [X.sub.i.sup.Tbeta].sub.0] + [U.sub.i], for i = 1 n, where ([U.sub.1 [U.sub.n]) and ([X.sub.1 [X.sub.n]) denote two independent random samples drawn from the
The Effect of Cold Work on the Precipitation of [Omega] and [theta]' in a Ternary Al-Cu-Mg Alloy
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; The effect of plastic deformation on the microstructural evolution of an Al-5.0Cu-0.5Mg (wt pet) ternary alloy was investigated. Hardness measurements and quantitative precipitate analysis were performed on specimens that were water quenched from a solution heat treatment, stretched either 0 or 6
Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of Rotation in the F^sub o^ Sector of ATP Synthase
Biophysical Journal ; ABSTRACT F^sub 1^F^sub o^-ATP synthase is a ubiquitous membrane protein complex that efficiently converts a cell's transmembrane proton gradient into chemical energy stored as ATP. The protein is made of two molecular motors, F^sub o^ and F^sub 1^, which are coupled by a central stalk. The membrane
The Effect of Temperature, Matrix Alloying and Substrate Coatings on Wettability and Shear Strength of Al/Al^sub 2^O^sub 3^ Couples
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; A fresh approach has been advanced to examine in the Al/Al^sub 2^O^sub 3^ system the effects of temperature, alloying of Al with Ti or Sn, and Ti and Sn coatings on the substrate, on contact angles measured using a sessile-drop test, and on interface strength measured using a modified push-off test
Delayed-mode calibration of autonomous CTD profiling float salinity data by (theta)-S climatology

Fast and Accurate Estimation of the Population-Scaled Mutation Rate, [theta], From Microsatellite Genotype Data
Genetics ; ABSTRACT We present a new approach for estimation of the population-scaled mutation rate, θ, from microsatellite genotype data, using the recently introduced "product of approximate conditionals" framework. Comparisons with other methods on simulated data demonstrate that this new approach is
