Shannon entropy for discrete distributions is a fundamental and widely used concept, but its continuous analogue, known as differential entropy, lacks essential properties such as positivity and compatibility with the discrete case. In this…
The discrepancy of a binary string refers to the maximum (absolute) difference between the number of ones and the number of zeroes over all possible substrings of the given binary string. We provide an investigation of the discrepancy of…
This paper studies semiparametric Fisher information in models parametrized by general normed spaces. The main contribution is to establish that positive semiparametric Fisher information is equivalent to the gradient of the parameter of…
In this paper, we first establish general bounds on the Fisher information distance to the class of normal distributions of Malliavin differentiable random variables. We then study the rate of Fisher information convergence in the central…
We study the appearance of multiple solutions to certain decompositions of Einstein's constraint equations. Pfeiffer and York recently reported the existence of two branches of solutions for identical background data in the extended…
We define a de Bruijn process with parameters n and L as a certain continuous-time Markov chain on the de Bruijn graph with words of length L over an n-letter alphabet as vertices. We determine explicitly its steady state distribution and…
The task of statistical inference, which includes the building of confidence intervals and tests for parameters and effects of interest to a researcher, is still an open area of investigation in a differentially private (DP) setting.…
In this paper, we explore some links between transforms derived by Stein's method and concentration inequalities. In particular, we show that the stochastic domination of the zero bias transform of a random variable is equivalent to…
This purpose of this paper is to note an interesting identity derived from an integral in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik using techniques from George Boros'(deceased) Ph.D thesis. The idenity equates a sum to a product by evaluating an integral in…
Differential equations and numerical methods are extensively used to model various real-world phenomena in science and engineering. With modern developments, we aim to find the underlying differential equation from a single observation of…
The problem of distributed identification of linear stochastic system with unknown coefficients over time-varying networks is considered. For estimating the unknown coefficients, each agent in the network can only access the input and the…
Differential privacy is achieved by the introduction of Laplacian noise in the response to a query, establishing a precise trade-off between the level of differential privacy and the accuracy of the database response (via the amount of…
The identifiability of a system is concerned with whether the unknown parameters in the system can be uniquely determined with all the possible data generated by a certain experimental setting. A test of quantum Hamiltonian identifiability…
In a recent paper by Gorin and Shkolnikov (2016), they have found, as a corollary to their result relevant to random matrix theory, that the area below a normalized Brownian excursion minus one half of the integral of the square of its…
Binary data are highly common in many applications, however it is usually modelled with the assumption that the data are independently and identically distributed. This is typically not the case in many real-world examples and such the…
In this note, we show how a combinatorial identity of Frisch can be applied to prove and generalize some well-known identities involving harmonic numbers. We also present some combinatorial identities involving odd harmonic numbers which…
Identifiability is a central issue in blind source separation (BSS), determining whether latent sources can be uniquely recovered from observed mixtures. Classical approaches address identifiability either by exploiting source…
We establish both uniform and nonuniform error bounds of the Berry-Esseen type in normal approximation under local dependence. These results are of an order close to the best possible if not best possible. They are more general or sharper…
The framework of differential privacy protects an individual's privacy while publishing query responses on congregated data. In this work, a new noise addition mechanism for differential privacy is introduced where the noise added is…
