Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models
Book
O'Neill, P. D., & Kypraios, T. Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models. University of Nottingham

We consider Bayesian model choice for the setting where the observed data are partially observed realisations of a stochastic population process. A new method for computing Bayes factors is described which avoids the need to use reversible jump appro...

To support the myth of Russian literature’s unique social mission, its critics, historians, and creators since the time of Pushkin have used various strategies to present it as inherently nomoclastic – as somehow standing apart from established Europ... Read More about Russian anti-literature.

Sortal concepts and modality
Book
Mackie, P. Sortal concepts and modality. University of Nottingham

What is the modal significance of sortal concepts? It is generally accepted that sortal concepts provide persistence conditions with modal implications that are de re, and not merely de dicto. I do not think that this important assumption has receive... Read More about Sortal concepts and modality.

A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol
Book
Moss, B. (2003). A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol. University of Nottingham

We show, by means of brief demonstration, that the underlying transmission protocol in [1] cannot determine dishonest paths when adversaries collaborate. Hence, this method of tolerating mixed adversaries on an asynchronous network is flawed.
