The fashion industry is facing increasing global scrutiny of its environmentally polluting
supply chain operations. Despite the widely publicized environmental impacts, however, the …

A consensus meeting was held in Bangkok, 21–23 May 2002, where experts and young
scientists in the field of physical activity, energy expenditure and body‐weight regulation …

Members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family are among the most
powerful modulators of vascular biology. They regulate vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and …

As a modification of the notion of algorithmic complexity, the stochastic complexity of a string
of data, relative to a class of probabilistic models, is defined to be the fewest number of …

A connection between universal codes and the problems of prediction and statistical
estimation is established. A known lower bound for the mean length of universal codes is …

This book describes how model selection and statistical inference can be founded on the
shortest code length for the observed data, called the stochastic complexity. This …

It is argued that all the useful information in observed data that can be extracted with a selected
class of modeled distributions, will be obtained if we calculate the stochastic complexity, …

No statistical model is" true" or" false,"" right" or" wrong"; the models just have varying
performance, which can be assessed. The main theme in this book is to teach modeling based on …

An earlier introduced estimation principle, which calls for minimization of the number of bits
required to write down the observed data, has been reformulated to extend the classical …

The number of digits it takes to write down an observed sequence x 1 , …, x N of a time
series depends on the model with its parameters that one assumes to have generated the …
