We study the centroid with respect to the class of information-theoretic Burbea-Rao divergences that generalize the celebrated Jensen-Shannon divergence by measuring the non-negative Jensen difference induced by a strictly convex and…
There are many tests for determining the convergence or divergence of series. The test of Raabe and the test of Betrand are relatively unknown and do not appear in most classical courses of analysis. Also, the link between these tests and…
We collect in this note some observations on the role of symmetries in Bayesian inference problems, that can be useful or detrimental depending on the way they act on the signal and on the observations. We emphasize in particular the need…
Divergence functions are interesting discrepancy measures. Even though they are not true distances, we can use them to measure how separated two points are. Curiously enough, when they are applied to random variables, they lead to a notion…
According to Benford's Law, many data sets have a bias towards lower leading digits (about $30\%$ are $1$'s). The applications of Benford's Law vary: from detecting tax, voter and image fraud to determining the possibility of match-fixing…
This research note deals with the evaluation of some generalized beta-type integral operators involving the multi-index Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\epsilon_{i}),(\omega_{i})}(z)$. Further, we derive a new family of beta-type integrals…
In this review, we describe the application of one of the most popular deep learning-based language models - BERT. The paper describes the mechanism of operation of this model, the main areas of its application to the tasks of text…
The purpose of this note is to compare various approximation methods as applied to the inverse of the Bessel function of the first kind, in a given domain of the complex plane.
We study a general convex optimization problem, which covers various classic problems in different areas and particularly includes many optimal transport related problems arising in recent years. To solve this problem, we revisit the…
In this paper, we review and extend a family of log-det divergences for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices and discuss their fundamental properties. We show how to generate from parameterized Alpha-Beta (AB) and Gamma Log-det…
We study unbiased estimation under Bregman losses and develop an extension of the classical theory of uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators (UMVUEs). Exploiting bias--variance-type decompositions for Bregman divergences, we…
Breiman's classic paper casts data analysis as a choice between two cultures: data modelers and algorithmic modelers. Stated broadly, data modelers use simple, interpretable models with well-understood theoretical properties to analyze…
Many problems in machine learning can be formulated as optimizing a convex functional over a vector space of measures. This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm in this infinite-dimensional setting. Defining Bregman…
The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…
In this note we give a proof-by-formula of certain important embedding inequalities on dyadic tree. This is done with the help of Bellman function. We also consider the case of a bi-tree, where a different approach is explained.
We propose a simple yet powerful test statistic to quantify the discrepancy between two conditional distributions. The new statistic avoids the explicit estimation of the underlying distributions in highdimensional space and it operates on…
The beta family owes its privileged status within unit interval distributions to several relevant features such as, for example, easyness of interpretation and versatility in modeling different types of data. However, its flexibility at the…
The extensive adoption of business analytics (BA) has brought financial gains and increased efficiencies. However, these advances have simultaneously drawn attention to rising legal and ethical challenges when BA inform decisions with…
In recent years, a rich variety of shrinkage priors have been proposed that have great promise in addressing massive regression problems. In general, these new priors can be expressed as scale mixtures of normals, but have more complex…
This analysis which uses new mathematical methods aims at proving the Riemann hypothesis and figuring out an approximate base for imaginary non-trivial zeros of zeta function at very large numbers, in order to determine the path that those…
