Recursive partitioning approaches producing tree-like models are a long standing staple of predictive modeling, in the last decade mostly as ``sub-learners'' within state of the art ensemble methods like Boosting and Random Forest. However,…
May and Leonard (SIAM J. Appl. Math 1975) introduced a three-species Lotka-Volterra type population model that exhibits heteroclinic cycling. Rather than producing a periodic limit cycle, the trajectory takes longer and longer to complete…
In a recent paper of Yuan and Zhu (J. Differential Equations 321(2022) 99-129), the nature of dynamics of a generalist predator and prey with stage structure is modeled as a three-dimensional coupled nonlinear differential system. A…
This paper introduces an innovative Bayesian machine learning algorithm to draw interpretable inference on heterogeneous causal effects in the presence of imperfect compliance (e.g., under an irregular assignment mechanism). We show,…
We generalize the derivation of Leggett-Garg inequalities to systematically treat a larger class of experimental situations by allowing multi-particle correlations, invasive detection, and ambiguous detector results. Furthermore, we show…
We advocates here the use of (mathematical) logic for systems biology, as a unified framework well suited for both modeling the dynamic behaviour of biological systems, expressing properties of them, and verifying these properties. The…
We report our efforts in identifying a set of previous human evaluations in NLP that would be suitable for a coordinated study examining what makes human evaluations in NLP more/less reproducible. We present our results and findings, which…
We develop a connection between mixture and envelope representations of objective functions that arise frequently in statistics. We refer to this connection using the term "hierarchical duality." Our results suggest an interesting and…
We prove several results about integral versions of Fourier duality for abelian schemes, making use of Pappas's work on integral Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch. If $S$ is smooth quasi-projective of dimension $d$ over a field and $\pi \colon X\to…
Explaining biodiversity is a fundamental issue in ecology. A long-standing puzzle lies in the paradox of the plankton: many species of plankton feeding on a limited variety of resources coexist, apparently flouting the competitive exclusion…
In their recent comment, Cockell et al. argue that the habitability of an environment is fundamentally a binary property; that is to say, an environment can either support the metabolic processes of a given organism or not. The habitability…
We consider finite range Gibbs fields and provide a purely combinatorial proof of the exponential tree decay of semi--invariants, supposing that the logarithm of the partition function can be expressed as a sum of suitable local functions…
In this paper, we show that the stability analysis in the paper A note on stability of fractional logistic maps, Appl. Math. Lett. 125 (2022) 107787 is incorrect and repeat a proof of a theorem on the convergence of a convolution of the…
Multivariate analyses are emerging as important tools to understand properties of hadronic jets which play a key role in the LHC experimental program. We take a first step towards precise and differential theory predictions by calculating…
Matchings and coverings are central topics in graph theory. The close relationship between these two has been key to many fundamental algorithmic and polyhedral results. For mixed graphs, the notion of matching forest was proposed as a…
The Horton-Strahler (HS) index $r=\max{(i,j)}+\delta_{i,j}$ has been shown to be relevant to a number of physical (such at diffusion limited aggregation) geological (river networks), biological (pulmonary arteries, blood vessels, various…
Batch Bayesian optimisation and Bayesian quadrature have been shown to be sample-efficient methods of performing optimisation and quadrature where expensive-to-evaluate objective functions can be queried in parallel. However, current…
In this work we consider a new family of algorithms for sequential prediction, Hierarchical Partitioning Forecasters (HPFs). Our goal is to provide appealing theoretical - regret guarantees on a powerful model class - and practical -…
We confront the indications of lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation observed in semi-tauonic $B$ meson decays with new physics (NP) searches using high $p_T$ tau leptons at the LHC. Using effective field theory arguments we correlate…
The statistical estimation of phylogenies is always associated with uncertainty, and accommodating this uncertainty is an important component of modern phylogenetic comparative analysis. The birth-death polytomy resolver is a method of…
