Counting elliptic curves of bounded Faltings height
… curves over Q with bounded Faltings height. Silverman [34] has shown that the Faltings height for elliptic curves over number fields can be expressed in terms of the minimal discriminant and period of the elliptic curve. We use this to recast the problem as one of counting lattice points in …

Gritting Teeth: A Memoir of Unhealthy Love

Jump Variation in High-Frequency Asset Returns: New Estimation Methods
… In the second set, we appeal to Johnstone and Silverman (2004, 2005) for their discrete Bayesian model of a sparse signal plus noise and argue for its use as a model of high-frequency asset returns with jumps. Within this model, we derive optimal estimators of jump variation and integrated …

An examination of the dynamic validities of cognitive ability and personality measures with performance
