This paper presents the Nataf-Beta Random Field Classifier, a discriminative approach that extends the applicability of the Beta conjugate prior to classification problems. The approachs key feature is to model the probability of a class conditional on attribute values as a random field whose marginals are Beta distributed, and where the parameters of marginals are themselves described by random fields. Although the classification accuracy of the approach proposed does not statistically outperform the best accuracies reported in the literature, it ranks among the top tier for the six benchmark datasets tested. The Nataf-Beta Random Field Classifier is suited as a general purpose classification approach for real-continuous and real-integer attribute value problems.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on beta of the natural extension of a beta-shift, so that any equilibrium measure for a function of bounded total oscillations is a weak Gibbs measure.
We study an extension algebra $A$ from two given $3$-Lie algebras $M$ and $H$, and discuss the extensibility of a pair of derivations, one from the derivation algebra of $M$ and the other from that of $H$, to a derivation of $A$. In particular, we gi ve conditions for such an extension to be a $3$-Lie algebra, and provide necessary and sufficient conditions of the pair of derivations to be extendable.

We revisit the problem of simultaneously testing the means of $n$ independent normal observations under sparsity. We take a Bayesian approach to this problem by introducing a scale-mixture prior known as the normal-beta prime (NBP) prior. We first de rive new concentration properties when the beta prime density is employed for a scale parameter in Bayesian hierarchical models. To detect signals in our data, we then propose a hypothesis test based on thresholding the posterior shrinkage weight under the NBP prior. Taking the loss function to be the expected number of misclassified tests, we show that our test procedure asymptotically attains the optimal Bayes risk when the signal proportion $p$ is known. When $p$ is unknown, we introduce an empirical Bayes variant of our test which also asymptotically attains the Bayes Oracle risk in the entire range of sparsity parameters $p propto n^{-epsilon}, epsilon in (0, 1)$. Finally, we also consider restricted marginal maximum likelihood (REML) and hierarchical Bayes approaches for estimating a key hyperparameter in the NBP prior and examine multiple testing under these frameworks.
In this paper we give an explicit and algorithmic description of Graver basis for the toric ideal associated with a simple undirected graph and apply the basis for testing the beta model of random graphs by Markov chain Monte Carlo method.
The Standard Model extension with additional Lorentz violating terms allows for redefining the equation of motion of a propagating left-handed fermionic particle. The obtained Dirac-type equation can be embedded in a generalized Lorentz-invariance pr eserving-algebra through the definition of Lorentz algebra-like generators with a light-like preferred axis. The resulting modification to the fermionic equation of motion introduces some novel ingredients to the phenomenological analysis of the cross section of the tritium $beta$-decay. Assuming lepton number conservation, our formalism provides a natural explanation for the tritium $beta$-decay end-point via an effective neutrino mass term without the need of a sterile right-handed state.
