Magnetotransport Study of the Canted Antiferromagnetic Phase in Bilayer Quantum Hall State
Magnetotransport properties are investigated in the bilayer quantum Hall
state at the total filling factor . We measured the activation energy
elaborately as a function of the total electron density and the density
difference between the two layers. Our experimental data demonstrate clearly
the emergence of the canted antiferromagnetic (CAF) phase between the
ferromagnetic phase and the spin-singlet phase. The stability of the CAF phase
is discussed by the comparison between experimental results and theoretical
calculations using a Hartree-Fock approximation and an exact diagonalization
study. The data reveal also an intrinsic structure of the CAF phase divided
into two regions according to the dominancy between the intralayer and
interlayer correlations.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
Simultaneous Excitation of Spins and Pseudospins in the Bilayer Quantum Hall State
The tilting angular dependence of the energy gap was measured in the bilayer
quantum Hall state at the Landau level filling by changing the density
imbalance between the two layers. The observed gap behavior shows a continuous
transformation from the bilayer balanced density state to the monolayer state.
Even a sample with 33 K tunneling gap shows the same activation energy anomaly
reported by Murphy {\it et al.}. We discuss a possible relation between our
experimental results and the quantum Hall ferromagnet of spins and pseudospins.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Bayesian lasso binary quantile regression
In this paper, a Bayesian hierarchical model for variable selection and estimation in the context of binary quantile regression is proposed. Existing approaches to variable selection in a binary classification context are sensitive to outliers, heteroskedasticity or other anomalies of the latent response. The method proposed in this study overcomes these problems in an attractive and straightforward way. A Laplace likelihood and Laplace priors for the regression parameters are proposed and estimated with Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo. The resulting model is equivalent to the frequentist lasso procedure. A conceptional result is that by doing so, the binary regression model is moved from a Gaussian to a full Laplacian framework without sacrificing much computational efficiency. In addition, an efficient Gibbs sampler to estimate the model parameters is proposed that is superior to the Metropolis algorithm that is used in previous studies on Bayesian binary quantile regression. Both the simulation studies and the real data analysis indicate that the proposed method performs well in comparison to the other methods. Moreover, as the base model is binary quantile regression, a much more detailed insight in the effects of the covariates is provided by the approach. An implementation of the lasso procedure for binary quantile regression models is available in the R-package bayesQR
Quantile regression with group lasso for classification
Applications of regression models for binary response are very common and models specific to these problems are widely used. Quantile regression for binary response data has recently attracted attention and regularized quantile regression methods have been proposed for high dimensional problems. When the predictors have a natural group structure, such as in the case of categorical predictors converted into dummy variables, then a group lasso penalty is used in regularized methods. In this paper, we present a Bayesian Gibbs sampling procedure to estimate the parameters of a quantile regression model under a group lasso penalty for classification problems with a binary response. Simulated and real data show a good performance of the proposed method in comparison to mean-based approaches and to quantile-based approaches which do not exploit the group structure of the predictors
