Hidden Semi Markov Models for Multiple Observation Sequences: The mhsmm Package for R
This paper describes the R package mhsmm which implements estimation and prediction methods for hidden Markov and semi-Markov models for multiple observation sequences. Such techniques are of interest when observed data is thought to be dependent on some unobserved (or hidden) state. Hidden Markov models only allow a geometrically distributed sojourn time in a given state, while hidden semi-Markov models extend this by allowing an arbitrary sojourn distribution. We demonstrate the software with simulation examples and an application involving the modelling of the ovarian cycle of dairy cows.

[Letter] 1846 February 22, Cambridge (Mass.) [to] Geo. W. Greene / Jared Sparks.
Sparks confirms receipt of Greene\u27s letter and the manuscript from the Boston post office by the last steamer. Sparks requests that Greene make out a list of the contents of each chapter. Sparks recommends that Greene refrain from sending a duplicate of the manuscript until confirming the safe delivery of the original. American historian Jared Sparks wrote about the Early Republic period in American history, publishing on Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and the American Revolution. He also wrote a _Life of Gouverneur Morris_ (1832), and was a professor at Harvard at the time this letter was written (1839-49); he would later assume the duties of President of Harvard (1849-53). The work alluded to here is _The Life of Nathanael Greene, Major-General in the Army of the Revolution_ (1867-71). George Washington Greene (1811-1883) was an author, educator and historian
The nonlinear future stability of the FLRW family of solutions to the Euler–Einstein system with a positive cosmological constant
Original manuscript January 24, 2012In this article, we study small perturbations of the family of Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker cosmological background solutions to the 1 + 3 dimensional Euler–Einstein system with a positive cosmological constant. These background solutions describe an initially uniform quiet fluid of positive energy density evolving in a spacetime undergoing accelerated expansion. Our nonlinear analysis shows that under the equation of state p=c[2 over s]ρ, 0 < c[2 over s] < 1/3 , the background solutions are globally future-stable. In particular, we prove that the perturbed spacetime solutions, which have the topological structure [0,∞) × T[superscript 3], are future-causally geodesically complete. These results are extensions of previous results derived by the author in a collaboration with I. Rodnianski, in which the fluid was assumed to be irrotational. Our novel analysis of a fluid with non-zero vorticity is based on the use of suitably defined energy currents.National Science Foundation (U.S.).

The Stabilizing Effect of Spacetime Expansion on Relativistic Fluids With Sharp Results for the Radiation Equation of State
Author's final manuscript January 10, 2012In this article, we study the 1 + 3-dimensional relativistic Euler equations on a pre-specified conformally flat expanding spacetime background with spatial slices that are diffeomorphic to R[superscript 3]. R 3 . We assume that the fluid verifies the equation of state p = c[2 over s]ρ, p = c s 2 ρ, where 0 ≤ c[subscript s] ≤ √1/3 0 ≤ c s ≤ 1/3 is the speed of sound. We also assume that the reciprocal of the scale factor associated with the expanding spacetime metric verifies a c[subscript s]−dependent time-integrability condition. Under these assumptions, we use the vector field energy method to prove that an explicit family of physically motivated, spatially homogeneous, and spatially isotropic fluid solutions are globally future-stable under small perturbations of their initial conditions. The explicit solutions corresponding to each scale factor are analogs of the well-known spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker family. Our nonlinear analysis, which exploits dissipative terms generated by the expansion, shows that the perturbed solutions exist for all future times and remain close to the explicit solutions. This work is an extension of previous results, which showed that an analogous stability result holds when the spacetime is exponentially expanding. In the case of the radiation equation of state p = (1/3)ρ, we also show that if the time-integrability condition for the reciprocal of the scale factor fails to hold, then the explicit fluid solutions are unstable. More precisely, we show the existence of an open family of initial data such that (i) it contains arbitrarily small smooth perturbations of the explicit solutions’ data and (ii) the corresponding perturbed solutions necessarily form shocks in finite time. The shock formation proof is based on the conformal invariance of the relativistic Euler equations when c[2 over s] =1/3, c s 2 = 1/3, which allows for a reduction to a well-known result of Christodoulou.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant DMS-1162211)Solomon Buchsbaum Research FundNational Science Foundation (U.S.).
