In this paper a bootstrap algorithm for a reduced rank vector autoregressive model with a restricted linear trend and independent, identically distributed errors is analyzed. For testing the cointegration rank, the asymptotic distribution under the hypothesis is the same as for the usual likelihood ratio test, so that the bootstrap is consistent. It is furthermore shown that a bootstrap procedure for determining the rank is asymptotically consistent in the sense that the probability of choosing the rank smaller than the true one converges to zero.

A theory is developed for jointly minimizing the bit error rate (BER) between the desired and decoded signals with respect to the coefficients of transmitter and receiver finite impulse response (FIR) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) filters. The original signal is assumed to be a vector time-series with equally likely memory less Bernoulli vector components. The channel model constitutes of a known FIR MIMO transfer function and Gaussian additive noise independent of the original signal. The channel input signal is assumed to be power constrained. Based on the formulas obtained, an iterative numerical optimization algorithm is proposed. When compared with other design methods available in the literature, the proposed method yields better results due to the generality of the model considered and the joint optimization of the transmitter-receiver pair.

This piece briefly introduces my Painting By Numbers, which aims to take the core messages of the QL/QR community from academic and professional circles to the rest of the citizenry. I describe the book in the context of the critical need for the most basic numeracy tools to help consumers of news, information, and analysis--delivered through traditional and contemporary social media outlets--determine where a reported numerical result lies on the scale from utter nonsense to a widely established and accepted "fact."

This article focuses on the book "Theorie des Graphes et ses Applications," by Claude Berge. The term graph, the subject of this book has not the common connotation of a plot or curve, but refers to an established but esoteric mathematical sage. The geometric aspect of the above definition is not the heart of the matter, graphs can be symbolic diagrams of a rich variety of situations. The points can represent almost any kind of object and the arcs almost any type of interrelation between them. There is a chapter on transportation networks in the book. It includes Ford-Fulkerson algorithms and the theorems of Hoffman and Gale. Besides questions of optimizing transport and routing the same techniques are fitted to the problem of minimal covering, some combinational teasers, problems in a set theory, and linear programming are also given. The methods continue to solve problems in some subsequent chapters. In what are called simple graphs, the vertices are divided into two sets such that all arcs connect only members of one set with points of the other.
