The generalization of statistical mechanics makes it possible to regularize the theory of critical phenomena

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...

Abstraction and generalization in statistical learning: implications for the relationship between semantic types and episodic tokens

Statistical approaches to emergent knowledge have tended to focus on the process by which experience of individual episodes accumulates into generalizable experience across episodes. However, there is ...

Statistical tests for detecting associations with groups of genetic variants: generalization, evaluation, and implementation

With recent advances in sequencing, genotyping arrays, and imputation, GWAS now aim to identify associations with rare and uncommon genetic variants. Here, we describe and evaluate a class of ...
