Extended educational sessions that offer attendees the opportunity to learn research methods and techniques from prominent psychological scientists.

Brain activities often follow an exponential family of distributions. The exponential distribution is the maximum entropy distribution of continuous random variables in the presence of a mean. The ...

Regression models with intractable normalizing constants are valuable tools for analyzing complex data structures, yet parameter inference for such models remains highly challenging—particularly when ...

Dormancy is a widespread bet-hedging strategy across taxa, enabling organisms to survive natural and anthropogenic disturbances. It fundamentally alters eco-evolutionary processes, including ...

Sean Plummer, assistant professor of mathematics at the U of A, was part of an international team that organized a March workshop at Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation ...

Stable distributions are well-known for their desirable properties and can effectively fit data with heavy tail. However, due to the lack of an explicit probability density function and finite second ...

Abstract: In this work, we have developed a variational Bayesian inference theory of elasticity, which is accomplished by using a mixed Variational Bayesian inference Finite Element Method (VBI-FEM) ...

Antonia Haynes is a Game Rant writer who resides in a small seaside town in England where she has lived her whole life. Beginning her video game writing career in 2014, and having an avid love of ...
