β¦ Synopsis
Saddlepoint methods present a convenient way to approximate probabilities associated with canonical su cient statistic vectors in generalized linear models. Implementing saddlepoint approximations requires calculating maximum likelihood estimators for the associated parameters. When the su cient statistic vector lies at the edge of the sample space, maximum likelihood estimators may not exist. This paper describes how to modify saddlepoint approximation to work in these cases.

The linear problem for the velocity potential around a slightly curved thin finite wing is considered under the Joukowskii-Kutta hypothesis. The exponents of possible singularities of solutions at angular points on wing's trailing edge are expressed in terms of eigenvalues of mixed boundary value pr
We investigate the local conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the regime of the quantum Hall effect with a scanning capacitance microscope. At integer Landau level filling factors the bulk of the sample is insulating, whilst we find a well-defined narrow stripe of high local cond
