The "coupon collection problem" refers to a class of occupancy problems,
in which j identical items are distributed, independently and at random,
to n cells, with no restrictions on multiple occupancy. Identifying the cells as
coupons, a coupon is "collected" if the cell is occupied by one or more of...
We present a generalized estimating equations approach for estimating the concordance correlation coefficient and the
kappa coefficient from sample survey data. The estimates and their accompanying standard error need to correctly account
for the sampling design. Weighted measures of the concordance correlation coefficient and the kappa coefficient, along with
the...
The purpose of this note is to provide a coupling of weak limits in distribution of sequence of (normalized) multiplicative cascade measures under strong disorder in terms of the extremes of an associated branching random walk, assuming i.i.d positive, non-lattice bond weights and a second moment condition. The solution is...
This article concerns a systemic manifestation of small scale interfacial heterogeneities in large scale quantities of interest to a variety of diverse applications spanning the earth, biological and ecological sciences. Beginning with formulations in terms of partial differential equations governing the conservative, advective-dispersive transport of mass concentrations in divergence form,...
Advective skew dispersion is a natural Markov process defined ned
by a di ffusion with drift across an interface of jump discontinuity in
a piecewise constant diff usion coeffcient. In the absence of drift this
process may be represented as a function of -skew Brownian motion
for a uniquely determined...
The Oregon Library Association has produced its peer-reviewed journal, the OLA Quarterly (OLAQ), since 1995, and OLAQ was published in Digital Commons beginning in 2014. When the host institution undertook to move away from Bepress, their new repository solution was no longer a good match for OLAQ. Oregon State University...
