โฆ Synopsis
Why do some quite complex events appear to be built up from seemingly independent elementary events? It is, of course, fortunate that this is so, for otherwise, it would be hard to analyze the world around us. But the technical question remains. It is here argued that a sufficient condition is that the possible complex events all have the ลฝ . ลฝ . ลฝ . same sum s for one or more additive variable s . Constants of the motion are one example of such variables. In addition, it is shown that the independent distribution of the elementary events is one of maximal entropy.

McNemar's test is often used to compare two proportions estimated from paired observations. We propose a method extending this to the case where the observations are sampled in clusters. The proposed method is simple to implement and makes no assumptions about the correlation structure. We conducted

We present a lower bound on the independence number of arbitrary hypergraphs in terms of the degree vectors. The degree vector of a vertex v is given by d is the number of edges of size m containing v. We define a function f with the property that any hypergraph H = (V, E) satisfies ฮฑ(H) โฅ vโV f (d
