Ranks estimated from data are uncertain and this poses a challenge in many applications. However, estimated ranks are deterministic functions of estimated parameters, so the uncertainty in the ranks must be determined by the uncertainty in…

We define ranks and degrees for families of theories, similar to Morley rank and degree, as well as Cantor-Bendixson rank and degree, and the notion of totally transcendental family of theories. Bounds for $e$-spectra with respect to ranks…

The Ku\v{c}era-G\'acs theorem is a landmark result in algorithmic randomness asserting that every real is computable from a Martin-L\"of random real. If the computation of the first $n$ bits of a sequence requires $n+h(n)$ bits of the…

We prove various results on effective numberings and Friedberg numberings of families related to algorithmic randomness. The family of all Martin-L\"of random left-computably enumerable reals has a Friedberg numbering, as does the family of…

This paper defines a new notion of bounded computable randomness for certain classes of sub-computable functions which lack a universal machine. In particular, we define such versions of randomness for primitive recursive functions and for…

Within the last fifteen years, a program of establishing relationships between algorithmic randomness and almost-everywhere theorems in analysis and ergodic theory has developed. In harmonic analysis, Franklin, McNicholl, and Rute…

A linear ordering is called context-free if it is the lexicographic ordering of some context-free language and is called scattered if it has no dense subordering. Each scattered ordering has an associated ordinal, called its rank. It is…

In 2019, Anderson et al. proposed the concept of rankability, which refers to a dataset's inherent ability to be meaningfully ranked. In this article, we give an expository review of the linear ordering problem (LOP) and then use it to…

We study pairs of reals that are mutually Martin-L\"{o}f random with respect to a common, not necessarily computable probability measure. We show that a generalized version of van Lambalgen's Theorem holds for non-computable probability…

For a continuous map $T$ of a compact metrizable space $X$ with finite topological entropy, the order of accumulation of entropy of $T$ is a countable ordinal that arises in the context of entropy structure and symbolic extensions. We show…

Given an undirected graph representing similarities between a set of items and an additive measure evaluating the items, we treat the position of a special subset of items in an ordinal ranking through a collection of combinatorial…

We introduce a notion of computable randomness for infinite sequences that generalises the classical version in two important ways. First, our definition of computable randomness is associated with imprecise probability models, in the sense…

We investigate the role of continuous reductions and continuous relativisation in the context of higher randomness. We define a higher analogue of Turing reducibility and show that it interacts well with higher randomness, for example with…

We show that part I of uniform Martin's conjecture follows from a local phenomenon, namely that if a non-constant Turing invariant function goes from the Turing degree $\boldsymbol x$ to the Turing degree $\boldsymbol y$, then $\boldsymbol…

Given a hereditary class $\mathcal{F}$ of finite relational structures, the rank function $\mathsf{rk}:\sigma\mathcal{F}\to\omega_1\cup\{\infty\}$, introduced by Kubi\'{s} and Shelah, measures how far a countable structure is from being…

Ordinal regression falls between discrete-valued classification and continuous-valued regression. Ordinal target variables can be associated with ranked random variables. These random variables are known as order statistics and they are…

We generalise the randomness test definitions in the literature for both the Martin-L\"of and Schnorr randomness of a series of binary outcomes, in order to allow for interval-valued rather than merely precise forecasts for these outcomes,…

We show that every strongly jump-traceable set obeys every benign cost function. Moreover, we show that every strongly jump-traceable set is computable from a computably enumerable strongly jump-traceable set. This allows us to generalise…
