Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,
- Journal of Finance
, 2007
"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

the centrality measures makes it unlikely that our results are driven simply by reverse causality (that is, the argument that superior performance enables VCs to improve their network positions, rather than the other way around). For a fund of a given vintage year, measures of network centrality are constructed
likelihood and the role of models in molecular phylogenetics.
- Mol. Biol. Evol.
, 2000
"... Methods such as maximum parsimony (MP) are frequently criticized as being statistically unsound and not being based on any ''model.'' On the other hand, advocates of MP claim that maximum likelihood (ML) has some fundamental problems. Here, we explore the connection between the ..."

of new types of genome data, e.g., gene order and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), for which MP may be more appropriate. Concern about the computational complexity of ML. Even on a given tree, optimizing the likelihood can be problematic (unlike with MP, for which Fitch's [1971b
Theoretical Foundations of Equitability and the Maximal Information Coefficient
, 2014
"... The maximal information coefficient (MIC) is a tool for finding the strongest pairwise relationships in a data set with many variables [1]. MIC is useful because it gives similar scores to equally noisy relationships of different types. This property, called equitability, is important for analyzing ..."

us to compute and discuss the population value of MIC, which we call MIC∗. In doing so we generalize and strengthen the mathematical results proven in [1] and clarify the relationship between MIC and mutual information. Introducing MIC ∗ also enables us to reason about the properties of MIC more
Title of Document: QUANTUM MECHANICS AND QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY
"... The principle aim of this dissertation is to investigate the philosophical application of quantum information theory to interpretational issues regarding the theory of quantum mechanics. Recently, quantum information theory has emerged as a potential source for such an interpretation. The main quest ..."

Counterexample to a Claim About the Reconstruction of Ancestral Character States
- Syst. Biol
, 2005
"... this paper have been demonstrated in the mathematical literature re3 garding probability on trees. The asymptotic analysis of the Poisson model in (Mossel, 2001) and (Mossel & Peres, 2003) (there referred to as the Potts model) demonstrates that there exist non-star topologies which have strictl ..."

distribution on the tree. The typical model specification is given by a marginal distribution of the root of a tree and a conditional distribution for each node given its parent. While computing the information is theoretically quite straightforward, it e#ectively requires evaluating the joint probability
