boosting in kernel regression
In this paper, we investigate the theoretical and empirical properties of
boosting with kernel regression estimates as weak learners. We show that
each step of boosting reduces the bias of the estimate by two orders of
magnitude, while it does not deteriorate the order of the variance. We
illustrate the theoretical findings by some simulated examples. Also, we
demonstrate that boosting is superior to the use of higher-order kernels,
which is a well-known method of reducing the bias of the kernel estimate.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/08-BEJ160 the Bernoulli

Exact Ground-State Energy of the Ising Spin Glass on Strips
We propose a new method for exact analytical calculation of the ground-state
energy of the Ising spin glass on strips. An outstanding advantage of this
method over the numerical transfer matrix technique is that the energy is
obtained for complex values of the probability describing quenched randomness.
We study the and the site-random models using this method for strips of
various sizes up to . The ground-state energy of these models is
found to have singular points in the complex-probability plane, reminiscent of
Lee-Yang zeros in the complex-field plane for the Ising ferromagnet. The Ising model has a series of singularities which may approach a limiting
point around on the real axis in the limit of infinite width.Comment: 10 pages, 12 Postscript figures, LaTeX, uses subeqn.sty, minor

Cosmic String Spacetime in Dilaton Gravity and Flat Rotation Curves
In dilaton gravity theories, we consider a string-like topological defect
formed during U(1) gauge symmetry-breaking phase transition in the early
Universe, and far from the cosmic string we have vacuum solutions of the
generalized Einstein equation. We discuss how they can be related to the
flatness of galactic rotation curves.Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX4 fil
