Eva Murray, author of Well Out to Sea , has been a resident of Matinicus Island
No full textEva Murray, author of Well Out to Sea , has been a resident of Matinicus Island since she moved there to teach at the island\u27s one-room schoolhouse in 1987. She discusses the differences between writing from an island and writing about an island as well as her efforts to dispel some stereotypes and myths about Matinicus through her writing
Large datasets, bias and model‐oriented optimal design of experiments
No full textWe review recent literature that proposes to adapt ideas from classical model based optimal design of experiments to problems of data selection of large datasets. Special attention is given to bias reduction and to protection against confounders. Some new results are presented. Theoretical and computational comparisons are made
Le cantigas di Roi Martinz d\u27Ulveira: edizione critica con commento
No full textIl saggio propone l’edizione critica delle quattro cantigas, una de amor e tre de amigo, di Roi Martinz d’Ulveira, trovatore portoghese attivo presumibilmente nell’ultimo quarto del XIII secolo. L’edizione è corredata da un’agile introduzione sull’autore e sulla tradizione manoscritta del suo ridotto canzoniere, dalla traduzione dei componimenti e da un puntuale commento, suddiviso in scheda metrica, cappello introduttivo e note esplicative ai versiThe essay proposes the critical edition of four cantigas, one de amor and three de amigo, by Roi Martinz d’Ulveira, a Portuguese troubadour presumably active in the last quarter of the 13th century. The edition is accompanied by an introduction on the author and the manuscript tradition of his work, the translation of the poems and a detailed commentary, divided into metrical analysis, an introductory presentation and explanatory notes to the verses
Model-based Design of Experiments for Large Dataset
No full textThe first part of this thesis presents the motivation for adapting ideas and methods from the theory of the model-based optimal design of experiments in the context of Big Data while guarding against different sources of bias. In particular, the key focus is on the issue of guarding against bias from confounders and how to use the theory of the design of experiment and randomization to remove bias depending on the constraints in the design. Starting with A/B experiments, largely used by major Tech Companies in online marketing, the theory of circuits is introduced and an algebraic methods which gives a wide choice of randomization schemes is presented. Furthermore, a robust exchange algorithm to deal with the problem of outliers in a Big Dataset is proposed.
The second part is based on a marine insurance use case sponsored by Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, commercial insurance division of the Swiss Re Group. Several temporal disaggregation methods for dealing with time series collected at different time frequencies are reviewed and applied to real data in order to obtain a curated dataset for predicting future losses
La tutela del passeggero nella disciplina Euro-unitaria e nella giurisprudenza della Corte di Giustizia
No full textStarting from the four EU regulations governing the rights of passengers in the various modes of transport in the event of cancellation, long delay and denied boarding, the Author asks whether the numerous rulings of the Court of Justice, which have made it possible to resolve numerous interpretative problems raised by various provisions of the oldest regulation – i.e. EC Regulation No 261/2004 on air transport – have or have not influenced the legislator in the drafting of subsequent regulations. Furthermore, the Author, considering the future prospects of EU regulation on passenger rights also in the light of the EU Commission’s recent proposal to amend the four regulations, wonders whether the time is ripe for uniform regulation in the different modes of transport
Generation of all randomizations using circuits
No full textAfter a rich history in medicine, randomized control trials (RCTs), both simple and complex, are in increasing use in other areas, such as web-based A/B testing and planning and design of decisions. A main objective of RCTs is to be able to measure parameters, and contrasts in particular, while guarding against biases from hidden confounders. After careful definitions of classical entities such as contrasts, an algebraic method based on circuits is introduced which gives a wide choice of randomization schemes
