We examine nonparametric dose-finding designs that use toxicity estimates based on all available data at each dose allocation decision. We prove that one such design family, called here "interval desi...

In this paper we consider the estimation of population size from one-source capture--recapture data, that is, a list in which individuals can potentially be found repeatedly and where the question i...

This paper is devoted to adaptive long autoregressive spectral analysis when (i) very few data are available, (ii) information does exist beforehand concerning the spectral smoothness and time conti...

The usual nonparametric approach to spectral analysis is revisited within the regularization framework. Both usual and windowed periodograms are obtained as the squared modulus of the minimizer of r...

We examine the properties of the transfer function F_T = V_m / V_{LFP} between the intracellular membrane potential (V_m) and the local field potential (V_{LFP}) in cerebral cortex. We first show theo...

Implementations of quantum key distribution as available nowadays suffer from inefficiencies due to post processing of the raw key that severely cuts down the final secure key rate. We present a sim...
