Linear functions are used to model a broad range of real-world problems. The ability to solve linear equations and inequalities is an essential skill for analysing these models. This section covers ...

Abstract: It is known that information inequalities on four random variables cannot be generated from a finite list. For the analogous case of linear rank variables, it is known that they can be ...

Abstract: A family of variable metric methods for convex constrained optimization was introduced recently by Birgin, Martínez and Raydan. One of the members of this family is the inexact spectral ...

The Canadian Journal of Statistics / La Revue Canadienne de Statistique We study the behavior of the tail probabilities of weighted averages of certain independently and identically distributed random ...
