Occlusion-based estimation of independent multinomial random variables using occurrence and sequential information

2017

Abstract This paper deals with the relatively new field of sequence-based estimation in which the goal is to estimate the parameters of a distribution by utilizing both the information in the observations and in their sequence of appearance. Traditionally, the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimation paradigms work within the model that the data, from which the parameters are to be estimated, is known, and that it is treated as a set rather than as a sequence. The position that we take is that these methods ignore, and thus discard, valuable sequence -based information, and our intention is to obtain ML estimates by “extracting” the information contained in the observations when perc…

A characterization of the line set of an odd-dimensional Baer subspace

1990

Generalizing a theorem of Beutelspacher and Seeger, we consider line sets\(\mathcal{L}\) inP=PG(2t + 1,q),t ∈ IN, with the following properties: (1) any (t + 1)-dimensional subspace ofP contains at least one line of\(\mathcal{L}\), (2) if a pointx ofP is incident with at least two lines of\(\mathcal{L}\) then the points in the factor geometryP/x which are induced by the lines of\(\mathcal{L}\) throughx form a blocking set of type (t, 1) inP/x, (3) any line of\(\mathcal{L}\) is coplanar with at least one further line of\(\mathcal{L}\). We will show that the examples of minimal cardinality are exactly the line sets of Baer subspaces ofP.

Binary Patterns in Infinite Binary Words

2002

In this paper we study the set P(w) of binary patterns that can occur in one infinite binary word w, comparing it with the set F(w) of factors of the word. Since the set P(w) can be considered as an extension of the set F(w), we first investigate how large is such extension, by introducing the parameter ?(w) that corresponds to the cardinality of the difference set P(w) \ F(w). Some non trivial results about such parameter are obtained in the case of the Thue-Morse and the Fibonacci words. Since, in most cases, the parameter ?(w) is infinite, we introduce the pattern complexity of w, which corresponds to the complexity of the language P(w). As a main result, we prove that there exist infini…

Lealtà alla prova: “Casa”, Monarchia, Chiesa. La carriera politica del cardinale Giannettino Doria (1573-1642)

2015

La storiografia sulla Monarchia spagnola ne ha da tempo individuato la caratteristica di spazio aperto per le carriere di élite al servizio degli Asburgo. Così è stato per i cardinali appartenenti alla “Fazione spagnola” in quanto sudditi dei domini italiani del re di Spagna. Essi giocarono un difficile ruolo, considerata la molteplicità delle cariche ricoperte e dei rispettivi doveri di fedeltà: principi della Chiesa romana; vescovi di diocesi chiave dal punto di vista politico e della cura pastorale; viceré dei domini italiani; mediatori in prestigiosi matrimoni e carriere ecclesiastiche dei propri parenti. Questo articolo si propone di ricostruire questo profilo attraverso la carriera di…

I due inediti busti reliquiari d’argento del Tesoro di San Mauro Castelverde (Pa). Don Vincenzo Greco e la circolazione delle reliquie dopo il Concil…

2022

Si esamina la diffusione e la circolazione delle reliquie da Roma alla Sicilia e la conseguente proliferazione, a seguito dei dettami del Concilio di Trento recepiti dai vari Sinodi diocesani, di sacre custodie in metallo prezioso o in legno. Vengono, infatti, indagati alcuni reliquiari d’argento che, custoditi nei Tesori siciliani, sono contestualizzati nella pertinente temperie storico-culturale. Due di essi, inediti e dalla tipologia a busto, sono conservati nel Tesoro della Matrice di San Mauro Castelverde (Pa). Della suppellettile liturgica contenente le sacra vestigia di S. Vittoria, sono stati individuati autore e committenti. L’altra inedita opera, voluta dal marchese Simone I Venti…

The article a(n) in English quantifying expressions: A default marker of cardinality

2020

Certain English quantificational expressions feature what appears to be an indefinite article, e.g. 'a bunch, a few, a hundred'. These can be divided into three types of quantifying expressions: pseudopartitives ('a lot, a bunch, a ton'), article-requiring quantifiers ('a few, a couple, a hundred'), and article-free quantifiers ('three, many, several'); article-free quantifiers have an article under certain circumstances, e.g. modification by an adjective ('a surprising 30 …'). While standard analyses would take the article in these expressions to be a D head, it is argued here that the article is not in D, nor is it singular or count, as evidenced by its (lack of an) interaction with verba…
