In recent economic experiments, lotteries with left-skewed background risks elicit more prudent choices than lotteries with right-skewed background risks. In this letter, we use an expected utility framework to show that a skewed zero-mean background risk may induce not only prudent but also ...
When a distribution has an elongated right tail, it is positively skewed (i.e., it has a positive skewness statistic; e.g., percentage of alumni who donate to their colleges in Figure 5). Conversely, when the left tail is long, the distribution is negatively skewed (e.g., percentage ...
Fig. 2. Uptake of ATTO647-conjugated α-synuclein fibrils into male (left column) and female (right column) primary hippocampal neurons. Primary hippocampal neuron cultures harvested from male vs. female rat pups were exposed to 0 or 1 μg/mL of ATTO647-conjugated α-synuclein fibrils (a–...
1931;Kingman, 1982). With increasing computational power, the WF model has also been implemented in forward-time methods, allowing the modeling of more complex evolutionary scenarios versus backward-time methods. This also allows for the inference of...
Single-cell genomics is a rapidly advancing field; however, most techniques are designed for mammalian cells. We present a single-cell sequencing pipeline for an intracellular parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, with a small g...
For pension-savers, a low payoff is a financial disaster. Such investors will most likely prefer left-skewed payoff distributions over right-skewed payoff distributions. We explore how such distributions can be delivered. Cautious-relaxed utility measure
Its maximum value goes from 𝑝𝑖=0.5pi=0.5 (case of symmetry with 𝛿=0δ=0) to the left or right as the parameter 𝛿δ decreases or increases. As can be seen, the marginal effects takes on its maximum values at different probability levels depending upon the value of 𝛿δ....
Crazy year. Up is down. Left is right. And frankly, quarantine season was a lot harder to figure out than I ever thought it would be. I could sit here and list the reasons why, or go over when I heard certain things and what the reasoning behind them was and what not, but it’...
