Concerning bivariate least squares linear regression, the classical results obtained for extreme structural models in earlier attempts are reviewed using a new formalism in terms of deviation (matrix) traces which, for homoscedastic data,…
Quantitative studies in many fields involve the analysis of multivariate data of diverse types, including measurements that we may consider binary, ordinal and continuous. One approach to the analysis of such mixed data is to use a copula…
We find geodesics, shortest arcs, cut loci, first conjugate loci, distances between arbitrary elements for some left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics on the Lie groups $SU(2)\times\mathbb{R}$ and $SO(3)\times\mathbb{R}$.
A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we…
In the classic Minimum Bisection problem we are given as input a graph $G$ and an integer $k$. The task is to determine whether there is a partition of $V(G)$ into two parts $A$ and $B$ such that $||A|-|B|| \leq 1$ and there are at most $k$…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a ``pairwise independent correlation gap'' for set functions with random elements. The pairwise independent correlation gap is defined as the ratio of the maximum expected value of a set function…
We consider the problem of testing the hypothesis that the parameter of linear regression model is 0 against an s-sparse alternative separated from 0 in the l2-distance. We show that, in Gaussian linear regression model with p < n, where p…
In the propositional setting, the marginal problem is to find a (maximum-entropy) distribution that has some given marginals. We study this problem in a relational setting and make the following contributions. First, we compare two…
We continue the variational approach to parabolic trajectories introduced in our previous paper [5], which sees parabolic orbits as minimal phase transitions. We deepen and complete the analysis in the planar case for homogeneous singular…
Two-point correlation functions of spin operators in the minimal models ${{\cal M}}_{p,p'}$ perturbed by the field $\Phi_{13}$ are studied in the framework of conformal perturbation theory. The first-order corrections for the structure…
The minimum rank problem is to determine for a graph $G$ the smallest rank of a Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrix whose off-diagonal zero-nonzero pattern is that of the adjacency matrix of $G$. Here $G$ is taken to be a circulant graph,…
It is well known that quantum correlations for bipartite dichotomic measurements are those of the form $\gamma=(\langle u_i,v_j\rangle)_{i,j=1}^n$, where the vectors $u_i$ and $v_j$ are in the unit ball of a real Hilbert space. In this work…
Weighting methods are widely used to adjust for covariates in observational studies, sample surveys, and regression settings. In this paper, we study a class of recently proposed weighting methods which find the weights of minimum…
By means of filters, minimal R_1 and minimal regular topologies are characterized on suitable intervals consisting of non-trivial R_0 topologies.
We compute the probability mass function of the random variable which returns the smallest denominator of a reduced fraction in a randomly chosen real interval of radius $\delta/2$. As an application, we prove that the expected value of the…
To relax the apparent tension between nonlocal hidden variables and relativity, we propose that the observable proper time is not the same quantity as the usual proper-time parameter appearing in local relativistic equations. Instead, the…
In the present work, we consider a nonlinear inverse problem of identifying the lowest coefficient of a parabolic equation. The desired coefficient depends on spatial variables only. Additional information about the solution is given at the…
The most general form of a marginal extended perturbation in a two-dimensional system is deduced from scaling considerations. It includes as particular cases extended perturbations decaying either from a surface, a line or a point for which…
This article proposes a bivariate Simplex distribution for modeling continuous outcomes constrained to the interval $(0,1)$, which can represent proportions, rates, or indices. We derive analytical expressions to calculate the dependence…
We study the random graph $G(n,p)$ with a random orientation. For three fixed vertices $s,a,b$ in $G(n,p)$ we study the correlation of the events $a \to s$ and $s\to b$. We prove that asymptotically the correlation is negative for small…
