We introduce a new characterization of Pareto distribution and construct integral and supremum type goodness-of-fit tests based on it. Limiting distribution and large deviations of new statistics are described and their local Bahadur…
Consider the following method of card shuffling. Start with a deck of $N$ cards numbered 1 through N. Fix a parameter $p$ between 0 and 1. In this model a ``shuffle'' consists of uniformly selecting a pair of adjacent cards and then…
Linear scaling methods provide total energy, but no energy levels and canonical wavefuctions. From the density matrix computed through the density matrix purification methods, we propose an order-N (O(N)) method for calculating both the…
When we use the normal mixture model, the optimal number of the components describing the data should be determined. Testing homogeneity is good for this purpose; however, to construct its theory is challenging, since the test statistic…
Quantum dynamical simulations of statistical ensembles pose a significant computational challenge due to the fact that mixed states need to be represented. If the underlying dynamics is fully unitary, for example in ultrafast coherent…
We observe a $n$-sample, the distribution of which is assumed to belong, or at least to be close enough, to a given mixture model. We propose an estimator of this distribution that belongs to our model and possesses some robustness…
We propose an entanglement measure for two qudits based on the covariances of a set of generators of the su(N) algebra. In particular, we represent this measure in terms of the mutually unbiased projectors for N prime. For pure states this…
We derive rates of convergence for the mixing of operators under infinitely divisible measures in the framework of linear dynamics on Banach spaces. Our approach is based on the characterization of mixing in terms of codifference…
We study intermediate-scale statistics for the fractional parts of the sequence $(\alpha a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$, where $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a positive, real-valued lacunary sequence, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In particular, we consider…
We study subsampling estimators for the limit variance \[ \sigma^2=Var(X_1)+2 \sum_{k=2}^\infty Cov(X_1,X_k) \] of partial sums of a stationary stochastic process $(X_k)_{k\geq 1}$. We establish $L_2$-consistency of a non-overlapping block…
We introduce new test statistic to test the independence of two multi-dimensional random variables. Based on the $L_1$-distance and the historgram density estimation method, the test is compared via Bahadur relative efficiency to several…
We use bootstrapping to estimate the bias of concentration estimates on N-body dark matter halos as a function of particle number. We find that algorithms based on the maximum radial velocity and radial particle binning tend to overestimate…
We consider the problem of estimating the number of distinct elements in a large data set (or, equivalently, the support size of the distribution induced by the data set) from a random sample of its elements. The problem occurs in many…
We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…
The conditional independence assumption has recently appeared in a growing body of literature on the estimation of multivariate mixtures. We consider here conditionally independent multivariate mixtures of power series distributions with…
This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new class of consistent estimators of the fractal dimension of locally self-similar Gaussian processes. These estimators are based on convex combinations of sample quantiles of discrete…
A permutation $\pi: [n] \rightarrow [n]$ is a Baxter permutation if and only if it does not contain either of the patterns $2-41-3$ and $3-14-2$. Baxter permutations are one of the most widely studied subclasses of general permutation due…
Let $(X_i)_{i\geq 1}$ be an i.i.d. sample on $\RRR^d$ having density $f$. Given a real function $\phi$ on $\RRR^d$ with finite variation and given an integer valued sequence $(j_n)$, let $\fn$ denote the estimator of $f$ by wavelet…
We study both theoretically and experimentally the generation of quantum correlations in the continuous variable regime by way of four-wave mixing in a hot atomic vapor. Two theoretical approaches have been developed. On one side, we study…
Optimal sampling of non band-limited functions is an issue of great importance that has attracted considerable attention. We propose to tackle this problem through the use of a frequency warping: First, by a nonlinear shrinking of…
