We present scientometric results about world-wide centers of excellence in psychology. Based on Web of Science data, domain-specific excellence can be identified for cities where highly cited papers are published. Data refer to all…
Twenty years ago Breiman (2001) called to our attention a significant cultural division in modeling and data analysis between the stochastic data models and the algorithmic models. Out of his deep concern that the statistical community was…
The purpose of this note is to show how calculi on unital associative algebra with universal right bimodule generalize previously studied constructions by Pusz and Woronowicz [1989] and by Wess and Zumino [1990] and that in this language…
In solo research, scientists compete individually for prestige, sending clear signals about their research ability, avoiding problems in credit allocation, and reducing conflicts about authorship. We examine to what extent male and female…
We consider the simple random walk (or P\'olya walk) on the one-dimensional lattice subject to stochastic resetting to the origin with probability $r$ at each time step. The focus is on the joint statistics of the numbers…
The traditional calculus-based introduction to statistical inference consists of a semester of probability followed by a semester of frequentist inference. Cobb (2015) challenges the statistical education community to rethink the…
In this mini-review, dedicated to the Jubilee of Professor Tadeusz Marek, we highlight in a popular way the power of so-called free random variables (hereafter FRV) calculus, viewed as a potential probability calculus for the XXI century,…
In the past ten years this author published some 15 highly mathematical papers about his new Evo-SETI (Evolution and SETI) Theory. He proved that key features of Evo-SETI are: 1) The Statistical Drake Equation is the extension of the…
Robert Vincent Hogg was born on November 8, 1924 in Hannibal, Missouri. He earned a Ph.D. in statistics at the University of Iowa in 1950, where his advisor was Allen Craig. Following graduation, he joined the mathematics faculty at the…
Jim Hannan is a professor who has lived an interesting life and one whose fundamental research in repeated games was not fully appreciated until late in his career. During his service as a meteorologist in the Army in World War II, Jim…
On June 2, 2012 it would have been the eighty fifth birthday of Edwald Abramovitch Zavadskii (1927-2005), corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences, brilliant experimental physicist and a person with a very uncommon and…
In 1963-71, a group of people, myself included, formulated and perfected a new approach to physics problems, which eventually came to be known under the names of scaling, universality, and renormalization. This work formed the basis of a…
I developed the lecture notes based on my ``Causal Inference'' course at the University of California Berkeley over the past seven years. Since half of the students were undergraduates, my lecture notes only required basic knowledge of…
This is the English version of my inaugural lecture at Coll\`ege de France in 2021, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxktplKMhKU. I reflect on the difficulty of multi-disciplinary research, which often hinges of unexpected…
It's hard to imagine human life in the digital and AI age without polynomials because they are everywhere but mostly invisible to ordinary people: in data trends, on computer screens, in the shapes around us, and in the very fabric of…
We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given first at the University of Warwick in spring 2008 and then at the Courant Institute, Imperial College London, and EPFL. It is an attempt to give a reasonably self-contained presentation of…
Career opportunities for PhDs in the mathematical sciences have never been better. Traditional faculty positions in mathematics departments in colleges and universities range from all teaching to combined teaching and research…
We strengthen some estimations of the local and global {\L}ojasiewicz exponent for polynomial mappings on closed semialgebraic sets obtained by K.Kurdyka, S.Spodzieja and A.Szlachci\'nska.
Data science is the business of learning from data, which is traditionally the business of statistics. Data science, however, is often understood as a broader, task-driven and computationally-oriented version of statistics. Both the term…
