Random-effects models are central to meta-analysis, yet the between-study variance is often underestimated when the number of studies is small. In such settings, confidence intervals become unduly narrow and fail to attain the nominal…

For a wide class of monotonic functions $f$, we develop a Chernoff-style concentration inequality for quadratic forms $Q_f \sim \sum\limits_{i=1}^n f(\eta_i) (Z_i + \delta_i)^2$, where $Z_i \sim N(0,1)$. The inequality is expressed in terms…

Reviewing the semiclassical theory for the parametric level density fluctuations, we show that for large parametric changes the density correlation function, after rescaling, becomes universal and coincides with the leading asymptotic term…

Simulations of extended quantum systems are typically performed by extrapolating results of a sequence of finite-system-size simulations to the thermodynamic limit. In the quantum Monte Carlo community, twist-averaging was pioneered as an…
