Achieving higher sensitivity is an earnest purpose for precision metrology. As a response to this goal, the weak value amplification approach has been developed for measuring ultra-small physical effects, realizing sensitivity that had…
Global sensitivity analysis aims at measuring the relative importance of different variables or groups of variables for the variability of a quantity of interest. Among several sensitivity indices, so-called Shapley effects have recently…
A number of complexity measures for Boolean functions have previously been introduced. These include (1) sensitivity, (2) block sensitivity, (3) witness complexity, (4) subcube partition complexity and (5) algorithmic complexity. Each of…
We generalize and extend the ideas in a recent paper of Chiarelli, Hatami and Saks to prove new bounds on the number of relevant variables for boolean functions in terms of a variety of complexity measures. Our approach unifies and refines…
A measure of complexity based on a probabilistic description of physical systems is proposed. This measure incorporates the main features of the intuitive notion of such a magnitude. It can be applied to many physical situations and to…
Sensitivity \cite{CD82,CDR86} and block sensitivity \cite{Nisan91} are two important complexity measures of Boolean functions. A longstanding open problem in decision tree complexity, the "Sensitivity versus Block Sensitivity" question,…
This article presents a general multivariate $f$-sensitivity index, rooted in the $f$-divergence between the unconditional and conditional probability measures of a stochastic response, for global sensitivity analysis. Unlike the…
A nearest neighbor representation of a Boolean function is a set of positive and negative prototypes in $R^n$ such that the function has value 1 on an input iff the closest prototype is positive. For $k$-nearest neighbor representation the…
Recently, Deshpande et al. introduced a new measure of the complexity of a Boolean function. We call this measure the "goal value" of the function. The goal value of $f$ is defined in terms of a monotone, submodular utility function…
Shapley effects are attracting increasing attention as sensitivity measures. When the value function is the conditional variance, they account for the individual and higher order effects of a model input. They are also well defined under…
A sensitivity analysis in an observational study assesses the robustness of significant findings to unmeasured confounding. While sensitivity analyses in matched observational studies have been well addressed when there is a single outcome…
We present an exact approach to analyze and quantify the sensitivity of higher moments of probabilistic loops with symbolic parameters, polynomial arithmetic and potentially uncountable state spaces. Our approach integrates methods from…
The main reason for query model's prominence in complexity theory and quantum computing is the presence of concrete lower bounding techniques: polynomial and adversary method. There have been considerable efforts to give lower bounds using…
Let $X:=(X_1, \ldots, X_p)$ be random objects (the inputs), defined on some probability space $(\Omega,{\mathcal{F}}, \mathbb P)$ and valued in some measurable space $E=E_1\times\ldots \times E_p$. Further, let $Y:=Y = f(X_1, \ldots, X_p)$…
Determining the maximal separation between sensitivity and block sensitivity of Boolean functions is of interest for computational complexity theory. We construct a sequence of Boolean functions with bs(f) = 1/2 s(f)^2 + 1/2 s(f). The best…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of weighted random sums when the sum process converges stably in law to a Brownian motion and the weight process has continuous trajectories, more regular than that of a Brownian motion. We…
A weak measurement consists in coupling a system to a probe in such a way that constructive interference generates a large output. So far, only the average output of the probe and its variance were studied. Here, the characteristic function…
In this article, we study the convergence behaviour of the classical generalized Max Product exponential sampling series in the weighted space of log-uniformly continuous and bounded functions. We derive basic convergence results for both…
The spectral norm of a Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$ is the sum of the absolute values of its Fourier coefficients. This quantity provides useful upper and lower bounds on the complexity of a function in areas such as learning…
Weak values are the fundamental values for observables in a pre- and post-selected system. Weak values are typically measured by weak measurement, in which weak values appear in the change of not the pre- and post-selected system but the…
