The Rayleigh limit has so far applied to all microscopy techniques that rely on linear optical interaction and detection in the far field. Here we demonstrate that detecting the light emitted by an object in higher-order transverse…

This article introduces a non-parametric information-theoretic approach to inference about the tail of a continuous or a discrete distribution. Leveraging a new concept named tail profile -- a set of information-theoretic quantities…

This paper introduces the modeling of circular data with excess zeros under a longitudinal framework, where the response is a circular variable and the covariates can be both linear and circular in nature. In the literature, various…

We study the tail asymptotics of the sum of two heavy-tailed random variables. The dependence structure is modeled by copulas with the so-called tail order property. Examples are presented to illustrate the approach. Further for each…

We consider a one-dimensional diffusion which solves a stochastic differential equation with Borel-measurable coefficients in an open interval. We allow for the endpoints to be inaccessible or absorbing. Given a Borel-measurable function…

The focal-loss has become a widely used alternative to cross-entropy in class-imbalanced classification problems, particularly in computer vision. Despite its empirical success, a systematic information-theoretic study of the focal-loss…

This paper develops asymptotic approximations of $P(\int_Te^{f(t)}\,dt>b)$ as $b\rightarrow\infty$ for a homogeneous smooth Gaussian random field, $f$, living on a compact $d$-dimensional Jordan measurable set $T$. The integral of an…

Existing theory for multivariate extreme values focuses upon characterizations of the distributional tails when all components of a random vector, standardized to identical margins, grow at the same rate. In this paper, we consider the…

We study the large-width asymptotics of random fully connected neural networks with weights drawn from $\alpha$-stable distributions, a family of heavy-tailed distributions arising as the limiting distributions in the Gnedenko-Kolmogorov…

In this work we apply the methodology of integral priors to handle Bayesian model selection in binomial regression models with a general link function. These models are very often used to investigate associations and risks in…

Let $p$ and $q$ be two imprecise points, given as probability density functions on $\mathbb R^2$, and let $\cal R$ be a set of $n$ line segments (obstacles) in $\mathbb R^2$. We study the problem of approximating the probability that $p$…

In biomedical optics, it is often of interest to statistically model the amplitude of the speckle using some distributional models with their parameters acting as biomarkers. In this paper, a paradigm shift is being advocated in which a…

Orbital angular momentum (OAM), a topological degree of freedom of light, is theoretically invariant under continuous deformations; yet, its physical observability degrades precipitously in complex media, creating a fundamental…

In extreme value inference it is a fundamental problem how the target value is required to be extreme by the extreme value theory. In iid settings this study both theoretically and numerically compares tail estimators, which are based on…

We investigate statistical distributions of differences in gravitational-lensing deflections between two light rays, the so-called lensing excursion angles. A probability distribution function of the lensing excursion angles, which plays a…

We obtain a number of new general properties, related to the closedness of the class of long-tailed distributions under convolutions, that are of interest themselves and may be applied in many models that deal with "plus" and/or "max"…

For a given graph $G$, the mutual-visibility problem asks for the largest set of vertices $M \subseteq V(G)$ with the property that for any pair of vertices $u,v \in M$ there exists a shortest $u,v$-path of $G$ that does not pass through…

In this paper, we consider $N$ non-intersecting Bessel paths starting at $x=a\geq 0$, and conditioned to end at the origin $x=0$. We derive the explicit formula of the distribution function for the maximum height. Depending on the starting…

Deep long-tailed learning, one of the most challenging problems in visual recognition, aims to train well-performing deep models from a large number of images that follow a long-tailed class distribution. In the last decade, deep learning…

We consider the nonparametric estimation of the univariate heavy tailed probability density function (pdf) with a support on $[0,\infty)$ by independent data. To this end we construct the new kernel estimator as a combination of the…
