This paper looks at the problem of performing likelihood inference for limited dependent processes. Throughout we use simulation to carry out either classical inference through a simulated score method (simulated EM algorithm) or Bayesian analysis. A common theme is to develop computationally...

Formal Interactive Epistemology deals with the logic of knowledge and belief when there is more than one agent or "player." One is interested not only in each person's knowledge and beliefs about substantive matters, but also in his knowledge and beliefs about the others' knowledge and beliefs....

The diffusive kinetics in a symmetric double well with a high barrier fluctuating randomly in time is investigated by means of the corresponding Fokker–Planck equation. In the Smoluchowski limit explicit solutions for the equilibrium and the relaxation eigenfunctions are given. Moreover, the...
