We consider the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of random band $n\times n$ matrices whose entries have the form $\mathcal{M}_{ij}=b^{-1/2}u^{1/2}(|i-j|)\tilde w_{ij}$ with i.i.d. $w_{ij}$ possessing the $(4+\varepsilon)$th…
Canada has a rich history of nuclear technology development. Since the 1940s, nuclear research infrastructure and facilities, such as National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk River, Ontario, have…
William Maximilian Lindley, MC, MA, FRAS, AMICE (1891-1972) served as fifth Director of the BAA Variable Star Section from 1939 to 1958. He was an active variable star observer for many years and he wrote numerous publications on the…
These are notes for a set of 7 two-hour lectures given at the 2010 Summer School on Quantitative Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics at OIST, Okinawa, Japan. The emphasis is on understanding how biological systems process information. We…
The Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment has proved to be an effective means of probing statistics of particles. Here, in a set-up involving edge-state quasiparticles in a fractional quantum Hall system, we show that a variant of the experiment…
We introduce a 'uniform tension-reduction' (UTR) model, which allows to represent the probabilities associated with an arbitrary measurement situation and use it to explain the emergence of quantum probabilities (the Born rule) as 'uniform'…
A major research area of Ching-Zong Wei (1949--2004) was time series models and their applications in econometrics and engineering, to which he made many important contributions. A conference on time series and related topics in memory of…
We study three aspects of work statistics in the context of the fluctuation theorem for the quantum spin chains up to $1024$ sites by numerical methods based on matrix-product states (MPS). First, we use our numerical method to evaluate the…
A.M. Mathai is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University, Canada, and Director of the Centre for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, India. He has published over 300 research papers and more than 25 books on…
Life at Caltech with Murray Gell-Mann in the early 1960's is remembered. Our different paths to quarks, leading to different views of their reality, are described.
The composition of the scientific workforce shapes the direction of scientific research, directly through the selection of questions to investigate, and indirectly through its influence on the training of future scientists. In most fields,…
We present an analysis of the quantum adiabatic algorithm for solving hard instances of 3-SAT (an NP-complete problem) in terms of Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We determine the global regularity of the spectral fluctuations of the…
Understanding the role of researchers who return to academia after prolonged inactivity, termed "comeback researchers", is crucial for developing inclusive models of scientific careers. This study investigates the structural and semantic…
This paper introduces a novel course design in the Master Program in Biostatistics at the University of Zurich that integrates computing skills, effective communication, reproducibility, and scientific integrity within one course. Utilizing…
With contemporary data sets becoming too large to analyze the data directly, various forms of aggregated data are becoming common. The original individual data are points, but after aggregation, the observations are interval-valued (e.g.).…
One of the greatest contributors of the 20th century among all academician in the field of statistical finance, M. F. M. Osborne published in 1956 [6] an essential paper and proposed to treat the question of stock market motion through the…
Modulation classification plays a crucial role in wireless communication systems, enabling applications such as cognitive radio, spectrum monitoring, and electronic warfare. Conventional techniques often involve deep learning or complex…
The field of the mathematical sciences relies on a continuous academic pipeline in which individuals progress from undergraduate study through graduate training and postdoctoral program to long term faculty employment. National statistics…
We aim to generalize the results of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to a target population with the help of some observational data. This is a problem of causal effect identification with multiple data sources. Challenges arise when the…
Universities often present the Common Basic Cycle (CBC) as a neutral levelling stage shared by several degree programmes. Using twenty years of longitudinal administrative records from a Faculty of Engineering and Exact Sciences, this study…
