We study linear regressions in a context where the outcome of interest and some of the covariates are observed in two different datasets that cannot be matched. Traditional approaches obtain point identification by relying, often…

Stochastic gradient descent is one of the most common iterative algorithms used in machine learning and its convergence analysis is a rich area of research. Understanding its convergence properties can help inform what modifications of it…

In this paper we develop a randomized block-coordinate descent method for minimizing the sum of a smooth and a simple nonsmooth block-separable convex function and prove that it obtains an $\epsilon$-accurate solution with probability at…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

In this work, we analyze the regularizing property of the stochastic gradient descent for the efficient numerical solution of a class of nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems in Hilbert spaces. At each step of the iteration, the method…

A random coefficient autoregressive process is deeply investigated in which the coefficients are correlated. First we look at the existence of a strictly stationary causal solution, we give the second-order stationarity conditions and the…

This contribution is concerned with the effective viscosity problem, that is, the homogenization of the steady Stokes system with a random array of rigid particles, for which the main difficulty is the treatment of close particles. Standard…

May randomness (real numbers, opinions) evolve into order (regularity) with time? We study some polarization and symmetry properties, which emerge in time evolution of opinions (real numbers) within entries of two and three-dimensional…

Polarization measurements provide a detailed method to test the Standard Model and to search for new physics. Most previous studies depend on pre-selected coordinates, which blurs the significance of the results. The construction of two…

Many random combinatorial objects have a component structure whose joint distribution is equal to that of a process of mutually independent random variables, conditioned on the value of a weighted sum of the variables. It is interesting to…

We study the joint convergence of independent copies of several patterned matrices in the noncommutative probability setup. In particular, joint convergence holds for the well known Wigner, Toeplitz, Hankel, reverse circulant and symmetric…

Conditional on the extended Riemann hypothesis, we show that with high probability, the characteristic polynomial of a random symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrix is irreducible. This addresses a question raised by Eberhard in recent work. The main…

We estimate the norms of standard Gaussian random Toeplitz and circulant matrices and their inverses, mostly by means of combining some basic techniques of linear algebra. In the case of circulant matrices we obtain sharp probabilistic…
