We consider an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random dynamical system of simple linear transformations on the unit interval $T_{\beta}(x)=\beta x$ (mod $1$), $x\in[0,1]$, $\beta>0$, which are the so-called…
We consider the task of generating discrete-time realisations of a nonlinear multivariate diffusion process satisfying an It\^o stochastic differential equation conditional on an observation taken at a fixed future time-point. Such…
The Chinese restaurant process (CRP) and the stick-breaking process are the two most commonly used representations of the Dirichlet process. However, the usual proof of the connection between them is indirect, relying on abstract properties…
A structural analysis of construction schemes is developed. That analysis is used to give simple and new constructions of combinatorial objects which have been of interest to set theorists and topologists. We then continue the study of…
We present a positive solution to the so-called Bernoulli Conjecture concerning the characterization of sample boundedness of Bernoulli processes. We also discuss some applications and related open problems.
Benchmark of dimensionless data correlations pertinent to batch bubble columns (BC) with suspended solids has been performed by the pressure transform approach (PTA). The main efforts have addressed the correct definition of dimensionless…
Given a real number beta>1, a permutation pi of length n is realized by the beta-shift if there is some x in [0,1] such that the relative order of the sequence x,f(x),...,f^{n-1}(x), where f(x) is the factional part of beta*x, is the same…
For a general renewal process $N$ (allowing delay, defect and multiple simultaneous arrivals) the independence of the first renewal epochs of the marked processes got from $N$ by Bernoulli $0$/$1$ thinning is characterized. This…
An iterative randomness extraction algorithm which generalized the Von Neumann's extraction algorithm is detailed, analyzed and implemented in standard C++. Given a sequence of independently and identically distributed biased Bernoulli…
We perform differential expression analysis of high-throughput sequencing count data under a Bayesian nonparametric framework, removing sophisticated ad-hoc pre-processing steps commonly required in existing algorithms. We propose to use…
Random discrete distributions, say $F,$ known as species sampling models, represent a rich class of models for classification and clustering, in Bayesian statistics and machine learning. They also arise in various areas of probability and…
In [10], a `Markovian stick-breaking' process which generalizes the Dirichlet process $(\mu, \theta)$ with respect to a discrete base space ${\mathfrak X}$ was introduced. In particular, a sample from from the `Markovian stick-breaking'…
A common approach to analyze a covariate-sample count matrix, an element of which represents how many times a covariate appears in a sample, is to factorize it under the Poisson likelihood. We show its limitation in capturing the tendency…
We introduce the beta function of a knot in euclidean three-space. This is a meromorphic function of a complex variable which we prove admits a Bernstein type functional equation. We determine the first residues.
We present a novel method of computing the beta-normal eta-long form of a simply-typed lambda-term by constructing traversals over a variant abstract syntax tree of the term. In contrast to beta-reduction, which changes the term by…
We consider the path approximation of Bessel processes and develop a new and efficient algorithm. This study is based on a recent work by the authors, on the path approximation of the Brownian motion, and on the construction of specific own…
We study constructively the relations between the finite cases of Dickson's lemma. Although there are many constructive proofs of them, the novel aspect of our proofs is the extraction of a corresponding bound. We provide some new one-step…
We claim that if by a choice of the couplings the theory can be made conformally invariant (vanishing of the beta functions) it is automatically finite and vice versa. This is demonstrated by explicit example in supersymmetric gauge theory.…
Nuclear $\beta$ decay is a key element of the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process ($r$-process). In this paper, we present state-of-the-art global $\beta$-decay calculations based on the quantified relativistic nuclear energy…
In [Schuhmacher, Electron. J. Probab. 10 (2005), 165--201] estimates of the Barbour-Brown distance d_2 between the distribution of a thinned point process and the distribution of a Poisson process were derived by combining discretization…
