Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence (2016)
Journal Article

Abstract Since coarse(ned) data naturally induce set-valued estimators, analysts often assume coarsening at random (CAR) to force them to be single-valued. Using the PASS data as an example, we re-illustrate the impossibility to test CAR and contrast... Read More about Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence.

Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media (2016)

The drag anisotropy of slender filaments is a critical physical property allowing swimming in low-Reynolds number flows, and without it linear translation is impossible. Here we show that, in contrast, net rotation can occur under isotropic drag. We... Read More about Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media.
