Disperser | the B-Side

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

An (N, M, D, K, e)-disperser is a bipartite
graph with N vertices on the left side, each with degree D, and M vertices on the right side, such that every subset of K vertices on the
left side is connected to more than (1 − e) fraction of the vertices on the right (i.e. more than (1 − e)M vertices).

An extractor is a related graph that guarantees an even stronger property. Every (N, M, D, K, e)-extractor is also an (N, M, D, K, e)-disperser.

Disperser may also mean a high-speed mixing device used to disperse pigments and other solids into a liquid phase. Also used for dissolving solids in a solvent.

Omitted-variable bias | included as a

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Omitted-variable bias (OVB) is the bias that appears in estimates of parameters in a regression analysis when the assumed specification is incorrect, in that it omits an independent variable that should be in the model.


Omitted-variable bias in linear regression

Two conditions must hold true for omitted variable bias to exist in linear regression:

  • the omitted variable must be a determinant of the dependent variable (i.e., its true regression coefficient is not zero); and
  • the omitted variable must be correlated with one or more of the included independent variables.

Omitted variable bias is a type of least squares bias. Although an incomplete predictive equation (i.e., an equation without one or more relevant variables) does not necessarily have an increased least squares bias, more often this bias is increased. In a linear least squares regression, omitted-variable bias can affect the slope and/or the intercept estimates.

Omitted variables can also cause an ineffectual use of the multiple linear regression technique. This occurs when a multiple linear regression study concludes that A predicts C, but there exists another variable, B, that was not included in the study, and B also predicts C; and also, if this omitted variable had been included, one would have discovered that and A and B together are a stronger predictor of C than A or B alone.

Poland’s Wedding to the Sea | The Wedding Present

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Poland’s Wedding to the Sea was a ceremony symbolizing restored Polish access to the Baltic Sea that was lost in 1793 by the Partitions of Poland.

It was first performed on February 10, 1920, by General Józef Haller at Puck. On the second occasion, it was performed by the Polish Army on March 17 1945 in Mrzeżyno and on March 18 in newly-captured Kołobrzeg.

In the ceremonies, a military flag was dipped into the sea, while the commander cast in a ring. The speeches on these occasions emphasized the importance of access to the sea for the economic development of Poland.
