We discuss building models for nucleon generalized parton distributions (GPDs) H and E that are based on the formalism of double distributions (DDs). We found that the usual "DD+D-term" construction should be amended by an extra term, \xi…
In the zero temperature Brownian semi-discrete directed polymer we study the joint distribution of two last-passage times at positions ordered in the time-like direction. This is the situation when we have the slow de-correlation…
We investigate the high-dimensional asymptotic distributional behavior of the $\mathbf{f}$-vector of a random Vietoris-Rips complex, that is generated over a stationary Poisson point process in $[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}]^d$ as the space…
Asymptotic behaviour of conditional $\alpha$ diversity for the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet partition model and for the normalized generalized Gamma model has been recently investigated in Favaro et al. (2009, 2011) with a view to…
Gaussian distributions can be generalized from Euclidean space to a wide class of Riemannian manifolds. Gaussian distributions on manifolds are harder to make use of in applications since the normalisation factors, which we will refer to as…
This paper studies the problem of {\em learning} the probability distribution $P_X$ of a discrete random variable $X$ using indirect and sequential samples. At each time step, we choose one of the possible $K$ functions, $g_1, \ldots, g_K$…
Neutral to the right (NTR) processes were introduced by Doksum in 1974 as Bayesian priors on the class of distributions on the real line. Since that time there have been numerous applications to models that arise in survival analysis…
We propose in this paper a random intercept Poisson model in which the random effect distribution is assumed to follow a generalized log-gamma (GLG) distribution. We derive the first two moments for the marginal distribution as well as the…
Let $\alpha_n(\cdot)=P\bigl(X_{n+1}\in\cdot\mid X_1,\ldots,X_n\bigr)$ be the predictive distributions of a sequence $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$ of $p$-dimensional random vectors. Suppose $$\alpha_n= \mathcal{N} _p (M_n,Q_n)$$ where…
We present a machine learning model for the analysis of randomly generated discrete signals, modeled as the points of an inhomogeneous, compound Poisson point process. Like the wavelet scattering transform introduced by Mallat, our…
This paper focuses on the size-biased permutation of $n$ independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) positive random variables. This is a finite dimensional analogue of the size-biased permutation of ranked jumps of a subordinator…
The definition and the properties of a Gaussian point distribution, in contrast to the well-known properties of a Gaussian random field are discussed. Constraints for the number density and the two-point correlation function arise. A simple…
Change-point detection has been a classical problem in statistics and econometrics. This work focuses on the problem of detecting abrupt distributional changes in the data-generating distribution of a sequence of high-dimensional…
We give, as $L$ grows to infinity, an explicit lower bound of order $L^{n/m}$ for the expected Betti numbers of the vanishing locus of a random linear combination of eigenvectors of $P$ with eigenvalues below $L$. Here, $P$ denotes an…
Let $P$ be a probability distribution on $q$-dimensional space. The so-called Diaconis-Freedman effect means that for a fixed dimension $d << q$, most $d$-dimensional projections of $P$ look like a scale mixture of spherically symmetric…
Given natural parameters s and r, where $2\leq s\leq r$, we consider the distribution of a random variable $\xi=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}s^{-k}\xi_k\equiv\Delta^{r_s}_{\xi_1\xi_2...\xi_k...},$ where $(\xi_k)$ is a sequence of independent…
There is a remarkable relation between two kinds of phase space distributions associated to eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of a compact hyperbolic manifold: It was observed in \cite{AZ} that for compact hyperbolic surfaces…
We consider the simplest split-merge Markov operator $T$ on the infinite-dimensional simplex $\Sigma_1$ of monotone non-negative sequences with unit sum. For a sequence $x\in\Sigma_1$, it picks a size-biased sample (with replacement) of two…
The recently introduced two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion extends the infinitely-many-neutral-alleles model, related to Kingman's distribution and to Fleming-Viot processes. The role of the additional parameter has been shown to…
Inspired by R. Speicher's multidimensional free central limit theorem and semicircle families, we prove an infinite dimensional compound Poisson limit theorem in free probability, and define infinite dimensional compound free Poisson…
