We set up a general formalism for models of spontaneous wave function collapse with dynamics represented by a stochastic differential equation driven by general Gaussian noises, not necessarily white in time. In particular, we show that the…

Given noisy data, function estimation is considered when the unknown function is known a priori to consist of a small number of regions where the function is either convex or concave. When the number of regions is unknown, the model…

Minimizing the Mean Squared Error (MSE) is a key objective in machine learning and is commonly used for imputing missing values. While this approach provides accurate point estimates, it introduces systematic biases in downstream analyses.…

We highlight a fundamental ill-posedness issue for nonlinear stochastic wave equations driven by a fractional noise. Namely, if the noise becomes too rough (i.e., the sum of its Hurst indexes becomes too small), then there is essentially no…
