The curve through the expected values of order statistics with special reference to problems in nonparametric tests of hypotheses
The expected value ot the s<sup>th</sup> largest ot n ranked variates from a population with probability density f(x) occurs often in the statistical literature and especially in the theory of nonparametric statistics. A new expression for this value will be obtained tor any underlying density f(x) …

Reinforcement Learning Describes the Computational and Neural Processes Underlying Flexible Learning of Values and Attentional Selection
… selection of stimuli involves the learning of values for stimuli, 2) how the learning of stimulus values is influenced by previously learned rules, and 3) how explorations of value-related mechanisms in the brain benefit from using intracranial EEG to investigate the strength of oscillatory …

Properties of Conditional Eddies in Free Shear Flows
… The conditional averages of interest were expected values of the instantaneous velocity and the second-order velocity moment around a point where the velocity was specified.

An Estimation Problem of Large Claims on Actuarial Decisions
… number of claims follows a Poisson process. The expected value of the total claim amount is determined by calculating the product of the expected value of a random sample of claims and the expected value of the number of claims. These expected values are calculated by assuming the claim amounts …

AN ASSESSMENT OF SUBADULT SKELETAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT BASED ON A MICHIGAN MEDICAL EXAMINER SAMPLE
… length and weight-at-death and comparing them to expected values, based on their sex and age as published by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, it can provide insight into their lives. When subadults are unidentified and go through the MEO, methods based on dental …

Characterization of The New Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy Source Using Presage(Tm)
… independent confirmation of TG-43U1 dosimetry values, as well as to further add to the literature of both Xoft and PRESAGE.</p> <p>PRESAGE is a polyurethane-based solid 3D dosimeter doped with a radiochromic leuco dye which produces a linear change in optical density when exposed to radiation. …

Influenza Modeling, New York City, January 2000 to March 2010
… the smallest difference between observed and expected values were SARIMA models. SARIMA short-term models provided useful forecasts, but long-term models (backcasts) produced large differences in observed and expected values. The difference in observed and expected values in long-term models …

Second-order finite free probability
… Both fields study the behaviour of the eigenvalues of random linear transformations under addition. Finite free probability seeks in particular to characterize random matrices in terms of their (random) characteristic polynomials. I studied the covariance between the coefficients of these …

Ground water reservoir response to earth tides
… per cent. Deviations of observed response from expected values is explained in terms of leakage and decoupling. It is concluded that values of porosity computed from tidal water level fluctuations must be considered as upper limits on true porosity.

Energy balance of a laboratory population of Ostrea Edulis (L)
… to the 1,09 power of body mass. This agrees with expected values of the mass exponent predicted in the literature for animals of this size. No evidence of energy loss as dissolved organic carbon was recorded.

Laser Range Finder Mapping of Floating Vehicle
… deviating only a few millimeters of their expected values. With this algorithm, a closed-loop control system is also developed and implemented on the vehicle. The vehicle is able to move to a predefined location and be within a very small range of acceptable values. The control loop is …

A Fiber-Based Lidar System for Atmospheric Water Vapor Measurement
… measurements made and compares the results to expected values based on models. A second-stage prototype system is then presented. Atmospheric measurements with the enhanced prototype are compared to modeled values, and a detailed error analysis for the enhanced version of the system prototype …

Consistency and Convergence of Non-parametric Estimation of Drift and Diffusion Coefficients in SDEs from Long Stationary Time-series
… parameters for computing discrete analogs of expected values from discretely-sampled stationary data. Number of observational points is the third important computational parameter. Next, we derive bounds for the asymptotic behavior of L2 errors for the drift and diffusion estimators. The …

Rapid Detection of <em>Streptococcus mutans</em> in Saliva
… test, the results were inconclusive due to expected values. However, other chi square results revealed that the test worked or had the potential to work. Furthermore, it was concluded that the test had high specificity. Further research is warranted; however, the saliva test in combination …

Losses Disguised as Wins in Slot Machines: A Case of Contingency Confusion
Negative expected values typically define the behavior of gambling whereby a person risks more money than probabilistically will be returned. Modern slot machines represent the most popular topography of site gambling, and are thought to encourage irrational gambling behaviors through the …

Study of the microstructure and mechanical properties of hummingbird wing-bones
… generally provided results reasonably close to expected literature values. Further experimentation would be required to determine if the deviation from expected values were meaningful.
