Weak correlations between visual abilities in healthy older adults, despite long-term performance stability

Using batteries of visual tests, most studies have found that there are only weak correlations between the performance levels of the tests. Factor analysis has confirmed these results. This means that a participant excelling in one test may rank low in ano ...

An Ordinal Latent Variable Model of Conflict Intensity

Robert West

Measuring the intensity of events is crucial for monitoring and tracking armed conflict. Advances in automated event extraction have yielded massive data sets of '' who did what to whom '' micro-records that enable datadriven approaches to monitoring confl ...

Safety climate in university laboratories. Part I: model development and practical application

Thierry Meyer, Anastasia Jung

Safety climate assessment has become a regular practice for most organisations. However, it is often limited to questionnaires, providing only qualitative information. The indicator-based approach takes precedence over decision-making, and practical risk a ...

Discount models

Damir Filipovic

Discount is the difference between the face value of a bond and its present value. We propose an arbitrage-free dynamic framework for discount models, which provides an alternative to the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework for forward rates. We derive general c ...

Covariance matrices for variance-suppressed simulations

Cheng Zhao

Cosmological N-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the Universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys, but the growing volume of the Universe mapped by surveys requires correspondingly lower statistica ...
