Brownian motions are useful in modeling many stochastic phenomena. We address the problem of default testing for the sign of the drift, if any, in the mean of the process using the Bayesian approach. Conventional Bayes factors for hypotheses testing, however, cannot typically accommodate the use of

We present a new test for the presence of a normal mixture distribution, based on the posterior Bayes factor of Aitkin (1991). The new test has slightly lower power than the likelihood ratio test. It does not require the computation of the MLEs of the parameters or a search for multiple maxima, but

Several versions of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) were applied to the two candidate genes ACTHR and Golf for bipolar illness. Analyses were carried out separately for paternal and maternal transmission. Evidence for linkage and association was found for ACTHR for paternal transmission i

This Letter describes the results of investigations into the mechanical losses of a selection of crystalline materials with the potential for use as the test masses in advanced gravitational wave detectors. We have measured loss factors of 3.7 = 10 y9 for HEM sapphire, to our knowledge the lowest me
