We consider an approach for testing the hypothesis that two realizations of the random variables in the form of histograms are taken from the same statistical population (i.e. two histograms are drawn from the same distribution). The…

We consider a fundamental problem in unsupervised learning called \emph{subspace recovery}: given a collection of $m$ points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, if many but not necessarily all of these points are contained in a $d$-dimensional subspace $T$…

We investigate the estimation of the perimeter of a set by a graph cut of a random geometric graph. For $\Omega \subset D = (0,1)^d$, with $d \geq 2$, we are given $n$ random i.i.d. points on $D$ whose membership in $\Omega$ is known. We…
