We investigate properties of a diagnostic-envelope method for evaluating normal probability plots of regression residuals that was proposed by Atkinson (1981), implemented by BMDP (Hardwick 1987), and ...

Sir, Anže Slosar’s letter (October 21) offers a problem that could be used to demonstrate the danger of some knowledge of probability. You are presented with a choice of two envelopes, one of which ...

Imprecise probabilities offer a rigorous framework to characterise uncertainty when precise numerical probabilities are either unavailable or unwarranted. This concept expands traditional probability ...
