This paper studies the estimation of large precision matrices and Cholesky factors obtained by observing a Gaussian process at many locations. Under general assumptions on the precision and the observations, we show that the sample…
For a sufficiently nice 2 dimensional shape, we define its approximating matrix (or patterned matrix) as a random matrix with iid entries arranged according to a given pattern. For large approximating matrices, we observe that the…
A hermitian matrix can be parametrized by a set consisting of its determinant and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. We established a group of equations which connect these variables with the mixing parameters of diagonalization. These…
A positive definite matrix is called logarithmically sparse if its matrix logarithm has many zero entries. Such matrices play a significant role in high-dimensional statistics and semidefinite optimization. In this paper, logarithmically…
This article proposes and analyzes several variants of the randomized Cholesky QR factorization of a matrix $X$. Instead of computing the R factor from $X^T X$, as is done by standard methods, we obtain it from a small, efficiently…
Covariance matrix estimation is a persistent challenge for cosmology, often requiring a large number of synthetic mock catalogues. The off-diagonal components of the covariance matrix also make it difficult to show representative error bars…
A matrix is totally positive if all of its minors are positive. This notion of positivity coincides with the type A version of Lusztig's more general total positivity in reductive real-split algebraic groups. Since skew-symmetric matrices…
Quantum correlations are the singular, defining resource of quantum information science and metrology, forming the basis of every operational advantage that quantum systems hold over classical ones. Yet exact bounds on these…
We introduce a model of the set of all Polish (=separable complete metric) spaces: the cone $\cal R$ of distance matrices, and consider geometric and probabilistic problems connected with this object. The notion of the universal distance…
We describe an algorithm that associates to each positive real number $r$ and each finite collection $C_r$ of planar pixels of size $r$ a planar piecewise linear set $S_r$ with the following additional property: if $C_r$ is the collection…
A new class of simple symmetric digraphs called $\mathcal{D}$ is defined and studied here. Any digraph in $\mathcal{D}$ has the property that each non-pendant vertex is adjacent to at least one pendant vertex. A graph theoretical…
It is common in functional data analysis to look at a set of related functions: a set of learning curves, a set of brain signals, a set of spatial maps, etc. One way to express relatedness is through an additive model, whereby each…
We classify the radially symmetric connections in vector bundles over round spheres by proving that they are all parallel.
In many instances one has to deal with parametric models. Such models in vector spaces are connected to a linear map. The reproducing kernel Hilbert space and affine- / linear- representations in terms of tensor products are directly…
The determination of the density functions for products of random elements from specified classes of matrices is a basic problem in random matrix theory and is also of interest in theoretical physics. For connected simple Lie groups of…
We introduce a family of random matrices where correlations between matrix elements are induced via interaction-derived Boltzmann factors. Varying these yields access to different ensembles. We find a universal scaling behavior of the…
We describe all inequalities among generalized diagonals in positive semi-definite matrices. These turn out to be governed by a simple partial order on the symmetric group. This provides an analogue of results of Drake, Gerrish, and…
Kernel methods represent some of the most popular machine learning tools for data analysis. Since exact kernel methods can be prohibitively expensive for large problems, reliable low-rank matrix approximations and high-performance…
Most dimensionality reduction methods employ frequency domain representations obtained from matrix diagonalization and may not be efficient for large datasets with relatively high intrinsic dimensions. To address this challenge, Correlated…
Linear structural equation models are multivariate statistical models encoded by mixed graphs. In particular, the set of covariance matrices for distributions belonging to a linear structural equation model for a fixed mixed graph $G=(V,…
