Estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions in the control region of mitochondrial DNA in humans and chimpanzees.
- Mol Biol Evol
, 1993
"... Examining the pattern of nucleotide substitution for the control region of mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) in humans and chimpanzees, we developed a new mathematical method for estimating the number of transitional and transversional substitutions per site, as well as the total number of nucleotide sub ..."

Why a diagram is (sometimes) worth ten thousand words
- Cognitive Science
, 1987
"... We distinguish diagrammatic from sentential paper-and-pencil representationsof information by developing alternative models of information-processing systems that are informationally equivalent and that can be characterized as sentential or diagrammatic. Sentential representations are sequential, li ..."

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function.
- Annual Review of Neuroscience,
, 2001
"... Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal goals. Its neural basis, however, has remained a mystery. Here, we propose that cognitive control stems from the active ..."

High dimensional graphs and variable selection with the Lasso
- ANNALS OF STATISTICS
, 2006
"... The pattern of zero entries in the inverse covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution corresponds to conditional independence restrictions between variables. Covariance selection aims at estimating those structural zeros from data. We show that neighborhood selection with the Lasso is a ..."

Happiness is everything, or is it? Explorations on the meaning of psychological well-being
, 1989
"... Reigning measures of psychological well-being have little theoretical grounding, despite an extensive literature on the contours of positive functioning. Aspects of well-being derived from this literature (i.e., self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpos ..."

Results revealed that positive relations with others, autonomy, purpose in life, and personal growth were not strongly tied to prior assessment indexes, thereby supporting the claim that key aspects of positive functioning have not been represented in the empirical
Geographic Concentration in U.S. Manufacturing Industries: A Dartboard Approach
- Journal of Political Economy
"... This paper discusses the prevalence of Silicon Valley–style localiza-tions of individual manufacturing industries in the United States. A model in which localized industry-specific spillovers, natural ad-vantages, and pure random chance all contribute to geographic concentration is used to develop a ..."

Estimating the Support of a High-Dimensional Distribution
, 1999
"... Suppose you are given some dataset drawn from an underlying probability distribution P and you want to estimate a "simple" subset S of input space such that the probability that a test point drawn from P lies outside of S is bounded by some a priori specified between 0 and 1. We propo ..."

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.
- IEEELACM Transactions on Networking,
, 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

The effect of national culture on the choice of entry mode
- Journal of International Business Studies

This article investigates this claim by developing a theoretical argument for why culture should influence the choice of entry. Two hypotheses are derived which relate culture to en ..."

Unrealistic optimism about future life events.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1980

In Study 1, 258 college students estimated how much their own chances of experiencing 42 events differed from the chances of their classmates. Overall, they rated their own chances to be above ..."
