Analysis of shape and angular orientation parameters of velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation signals in Galactic Centers for FIRE simulations
We use FIRE-2 zoom cosmological simulations of Milky Way size galaxy halos to characterize the shape of the J-factor emission signal on the sky. We find that, at a fixed dJ/dΩ contour,the shape is well-fit by an ellipse, with semi-major axis Rmajor and semi-minor axis Rminor measured in degrees on the sky. We use least squares fitting to fit ellipses to the J-factor emission, viewed from the solar location. The ratio of minor to major axes (Rminor/Rmajor) allows us to characterize the shape of…

FlowHFT: Flow Policy Induced Optimal High-Frequency Trading under Diverse Market Conditions
High-frequency trading (HFT) is an investing strategy that continuously monitors market states and places bid and ask orders at millisecond speeds. Traditional HFT approaches fit models with historical data and assume that future market states follow similar patterns. This limits the effectiveness of any single model to the specific conditions it was trained for. Additionally, these models achieve optimal solutions only under specific market conditions, such as assumptions about stock price's s…

Observational viability of fractional holographic dark energy in LRS Bianchi type-I cosmological model
We scrutinized the Locally Rotational Symmetry (LRS) Bianchi type-I cosmological model in the presence of fractional holographic dark energy. We calculate the value of the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ using the field equations. After that, we fit the model by employing the MCMC techniques to observational data, which includes Hubble, Hubble+BAO, Hubble+Pantheon+Shoes, and Hubble+BAO+Pantheon+Shoes datasets. With the help of these datasets, we calculate the model parameters, viz. $H_{0}(z), α,$ and …

Triadic Novelty: A Typology and Measurement Framework for Recognizing Novel Contributions in Science
Scientific progress depends on novel ideas, but current reward systems often fail to recognize them. Many existing metrics conflate novelty with popularity, privileging ideas that fit existing paradigms over those that challenge them. This study develops a theory-driven framework to better understand how different types of novelty emerge, take hold, and receive recognition. Drawing on network science and theories of discovery, we introduce a triadic typology: Pioneers, who introduce entirely ne…

Non-Parametric Goodness-of-Fit Tests Using Tsallis Entropy Measures
In this paper, we investigate new procedures for statistical testing based on Tsallis entropy, a parametric generalization of Shannon entropy. Focusing on multivariate generalized Gaussian and $q$-Gaussian distributions, we develop entropy-based goodness-of-fit tests based on maximum entropy formulations and nearest neighbour entropy estimators. Furthermore, we propose a novel iterative approach for estimating the shape parameters of the distributions, which is crucial for practical inference. …

While DESI BAO data broadly align with the standard LambdaCDM model, giving Omega_m = 0.3, our Markov Chain Monte Carlo fits show notable variation in best-fit values and degeneracy directions for w0waCDM across combinations of BAO observables (DV/rd, DM/rd, DH/rd, and DM/DH). …

Theory Uncertainties in the Extraction of $α_s$ from Drell-Yan at Small Transverse Momentum
We perform a detailed pseudodata study to estimate the expected theory uncertainty in the extraction of the strong coupling constant, $α_s(m_Z)$, from a fit to the measured Drell-Yan transverse momentum ($q_T$) spectrum at small $q_T \ll m_Z$. We consider two approaches to estimate the dominant perturbative uncertainties. We first discuss that the traditional approach based on varying unphysical scales is insufficient here because it cannot correctly account for bin-by-bin theory correlations …

I'm pretty sure all the white folks (and anyone else who didn't learn the underlying lessons first hand) were assigned to learn about Red Summer, the Chinese Exclusion Acts, Wilmington 1898, and more than a few other things that came up in cultural conversation during the last Trump presidency. This is all on the test, and you're taking it now.
But in case anyone missed the assignment, I'll give you the TL;DR: ethnic cleansing has been central to American politics basically forever, which shouldn't be surprising given it's a nation founded on genocide and the belief in the right to commit it without constraint.
If you haven't done the math yet, I'll help you out. The "Haitian Immigrants" lets them grab black folks, they've been grabbing folks from Mexico south and lumping in indigenous Americans (just so they don't skip out on the oldest American genocide), and the Muslim ban/Hamas rhetoric lets them grab anyone who else they see fit.
The lack of due process lets them grab anyone and they don't have to prove anything. They're talking about deporting "one million" and possibly"millions" of people. So how do they get those numbers?
There are already reports that they're just grabbing random brown folks, trying to take 3k people per day. They fly to blue cities and grab as many black and brown people as they can, then send them to death camps in foreign countries and pretend they have no way to get them back. That's it. That's the game.
This isn't new. The big difference now is that the cops aren't hiding their uniforms under white hoods this time. Do you get it yet?

To explore the spatial variations of the regular (mean) magnetic field of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), we use Fourier analysis in azimuthal angle along four rings in the galaxy's plane.

On Fitting Flow Models with Large Sinkhorn Couplings
Flow models transform data gradually from one modality (e.g. noise) onto another (e.g. images). Such models are parameterized by a time-dependent velocity field, trained to fit segments connecting pairs of source and target points. When the pairing between source and target points is given, training flow models boils down to a supervised regression problem. When no such pairing exists, as is the case when generating data from noise, training flows is much harder. A popular approach lies in pick…

Charged Scalar Field at Future Null Infinity via Nonlinear Hyperboloidal Evolution
Quasinormal modes and power-law late-time decay tails of a charged scalar field in a charged black hole background have been studied, but never in the fully non-linear regime, as far as we know. In this paper, we study the dependence of these properties on the charges of scalar field and black hole. For the quasinormal modes, a fit of the spherical fundamental mode is shown for the purely uncharged case and compared to the charged one. We also see for the first time the transition from gravitat…

Is Talanoa Hufanga the next great Broncos safety? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45480888/broncos-safety-talanoa-hufanga-free-agent-signing-excitement-injuries-fit

I keep posting about how the AI hype bubble makes it almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation about LLMs, and it’s only when the bubble bursts that we can start thinking realistically about what if anything LLMs are actually good for in writing code.
That seems to be what Fred is getting at here: the massive gap between the hype and the reality means that the affordances of these tools fit neither the task at hand nor the tool’s own capabilities.

Characterization based Goodness-of-Fit for Generalized Pareto Distribution: A Blend of Stein's Identity and Dynamic Survival Extropy
This paper proposes a goodness of fit test for the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Firstly, we provide two characterizations of GPD based on Stein's identity and dynamic survival extropy. These characterizations are used to test GPD separately for the positive and negative shape parameter cases. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to provide the critical values and power of the proposed test against a good number of alternatives. Our test is simple to use and it has asymptotic normalit…

Ball path curvature and in-game free throw shooting proficiency in the National Basketball Association
Basketball shooting coaches agree that smoother shooting motions are better, but there is less agreement about what "smooth" means quantitatively or what part of the shooting motion needs to be smooth. Using ball tracking data from the 2023-2024 National Basketball Association regular season, we explore the relationship between ball path curvature and free throw shooting performance. We fit Bézier curves to the ball tracking data in the sagittal plane and test different methods of calculating …

An Analysis of Variance of the Pantheon+ Dataset: Systematics in the Covariance Matrix?
We investigate the statistics of the available Pantheon+ dataset. Noticing that the $χ^2$ value for the best-fit $Λ$CDM model to the real data is small, we quantify how significant its smallness is by calculating the distribution of $χ^2$ values for the best-fit $Λ$CDM model fit to mock Pantheon+-like datasets, using the provided covariance matrix. We further investigate the distribution of the residuals of the Pantheon+ dataset with respect to the best-fit $Λ$CDM model, and notice that th…

Thermal electrons in the radio afterglow of relativistic tidal disruption event ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star travels too close to a supermassive black hole. In some cases, accretion of the disrupted material onto the black hole launches a relativistic jet. In this paper, we present a long term observing campaign to study the radio and sub-millimeter emission associated with the fifth jetted/relativistic TDE: AT2022cmc. Our campaign reveals a long lived counterpart. We fit three different models to our data: a non-thermal jet, a spherical outflow consis…

Did a quick test fit of one of the Minisforum MS-A2s and ran some of the cabling. I think this should turn out pretty clean and everything fits better than expected which is a good thing. The PSUs will go in the bottom 2U "compartment" without issue which I didn't run.

The Mixed-Sparse-Smooth-Model Toolbox (MSSM): Efficient Estimation and Selection of Large Multi-Level Statistical Models
Additive smooth models, such as Generalized additive models (GAMs) of location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS), are a popular choice for modeling experimental data. However, software available to fit such models is usually not tailored specifically to the estimation of mixed models. As a result, estimation can slow down as the number of random effects increases. Additionally, users often have to provide a substantial amount of problem-specific information in case they are interested in more general …

The effects of continuum fitting on Lyman-$α$ forest correlations
Correlations of fluctuations of the flux in Lyman-$α$ forests of high-redshift quasars have been observed by the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation Spectroscopy Survey (BOSS) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopy Instrument (DESI) survey where they have revealed the effects of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). In order to fit the correlation functions to a physical model and thereby constrain cosmological parameters, it is necessary to take into account the effects of fitting the observed spectra to a…

Goodness-of-fit testing for the stationary density of a size-structured PDE
We consider two division models for structured cell populations, where cells can grow, age and divide. These models have been introduced in the literature under the denomination of `mitosis' and `adder' models. In the recent years, there has been an increasing interest in Biology to understand whether the cells divide equally or not, as this can be related to important mechanisms in cellular aging or recovery. We are therefore interested in testing the null hypothesis $H_0$ where the division o…

Testing Coasting Cosmologies with Large-Scale Structure Growth
We derive analytical expressions for the growth factor, $D(z)$, and density-weighted growth rate, $fσ_8(z)$, for coasting cosmologies, in which the scale factor is a linear function of time. We fit the latter to data from redshift space distortion measurements in the redshift range $z<2$ using the \texttt{dynesty} implementation of a nested sampling algorithm. In total, four models are tested: three coasting models with curvature parameters ${k=\{-1, 0, +1\}}$ in $H^2_0c^{-2}$ units, as well a…
