We present some applications of the notion of numerosity to measure theory, including the construction of a non-Archimedean model for the probability of infinite sequences of coin tosses.

Can a probabilistic gambler get arbitrarily rich when all deterministic gamblers fail? We study this problem in the context of algorithmic randomness, introducing a new notion -- almost everywhere computable randomness. A binary sequence…

Does the notion of a quantum randomized or nondeterministic algorithm make sense, and if so, does quantum randomness or nondeterminism add power? Although reasonable quantum random sources do not add computational power, the discussion of…

The difficulty in manipulating quantum resources deterministically often necessitates the use of probabilistic protocols, but the characterization of their capabilities and limitations has been lacking. We develop a general approach to this…

In this paper, we address the probabilistic error quantification of a general class of prediction methods. We consider a given prediction model and show how to obtain, through a sample-based approach, a probabilistic upper bound on the…

It is demonstrated that the statistical method of the famous Aspect - Bell experiment requires negative probability densities and negative probabilities from "the thing" researched, else that thing doesn't exist. The thing refers here to…

We define a simple obstruction to Yu's property A that we call $k$-prisms. This structure allows for a straightforward proof that the space of persistence diagrams fails to have property A in a Wasserstein metric.

It is suggested that probabilities need not apply at all to matter in the physical world, which may be entirely described by the amplitudes given by the quantum mechanical state. Instead, probabilities may apply only to conscious…

Randomization tests deliver exact finite-sample Type 1 error control when the null satisfies the randomization hypothesis. In practice, achieving these guarantees often requires stronger conditions than the null hypothesis of primary…

The empirical likelihood inference is extended to a class of semiparametric models for stationary, weakly dependent series. A partially linear single-index regression is used for the conditional mean of the series given its past, and the…

We study the question of whether the "termination with probability 1" property of a randomized algorithm is preserved when one replaces the atomic registers that the algorithm uses with linearizable (implementations of) registers. We show…

We solve the problem of quantum state discrimination with "general (symmetric) figures of merit" for an even number of symmetric quantum bits with use of the no-signaling principle. It turns out that conditional probability has the same…

The sum of $N$ sufficiently strongly correlated random variables will not in general be Gaussian distributed in the limit N\to\infty. We revisit examples of sums x that have recently been put forward as instances of variables obeying a…

Existing approaches remain largely constrained by traditional distance metrics, limiting their effectiveness in handling random data. In this work, we introduce the first k-means variant in the literature that operates within a…

Let $k\ge 2$ and $\Pi(n)=\prod_{i=1}^k(a_in+b_i)$ for some integers $a_i, b_i$ ($1\le i\le k$). Suppose that $\Pi(n)$ has no fixed prime divisors. Weighted sieves have shown for infinitely many integers $n$ that $\Omega(\Pi(n))\le r_k$…

Given a computable probability measure P over natural numbers or infinite binary sequences, there is no computable, randomized method that can produce an arbitrarily large sample such that none of its members are outliers of P.

We show that $k$-means (Lloyd's algorithm) is obtained as a special case when truncated variational EM approximations are applied to Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) with isotropic Gaussians. In contrast to the standard way to relate $k$-means…
