The formalisation of mathematics is continuing rapidly, however combinatorics continues to present challenges to formalisation efforts, such as its reliance on techniques from a wide range of other fields in mathematics. This paper presents…
We give a short proof of Stein's universal multiplier theorem, purely by probabilistic methods, thus avoiding any use of harmonic analysis techniques (complex interpolation or transference methods).
Fisher's method prescribes a way to combine p-values from multiple experiments into a single p-value. However, the original method can only determine a combined p-value analytically if all constituent p-values are weighted equally. Here we…
Cabello proved Bell's theorem without using inequalities. A loophole of Cabello's proof is pointed out in this work.
We give a simple proof of the Fourier Inversion Theorem, using the methods of nonstandard analysis.
We give a simple direct proof of Fermat's two squares theorem. Our argument uses no intricate notions or ideas; one might say that it is a proof by careful bookkeeping. As such, the proof may be particularly easy to comprehend by students…
Two new proofs of the Fisher information inequality (FII) using data processing inequalities for mutual information and conditional variance are presented.
I give a proof of the uniform boundedness theorem that is elementary (i.e. does not use any version of the Baire category theorem) and also extremely simple.
We give a proof of the uniform convergence of Fourier series, using the methods of nonstandard analysis.
We give a proof of Fermat's little theorem which does not use nor arithmetic(Euclidean algorithm) neither algebra (group theory), but it rather employs the field of the formal power series Q((x)). The note is an example of a mathematical…
We develop a general method to study the Fisher information distance in central limit theorem for nonlinear statistics. We first construct completely new representations for the score function. We then use these representations to derive…
We give a very simple proof of a strengthened version of Chernoff's Inequality. We derive the same conclusion from much weaker assumptions.
We show how to calculate individual terms of the Edgeworth series to approximate the distribution of the Pearson correlation coefficient with the help of a simple Mathematica program. We also demonstrate how to eliminate the corresponding…
We present a short new proof of Cobham's theorem without using Kronecker's approximation theorem, making it suitable for generalization beyond automatic sequences.
The classical statistics indication for the impossibility to derive quantum mechanics from classical mechanics is proved. The formalism of the statistical Fisher information is used. Next the Fisher information as a tool of the construction…
I give a proof of the confluence of combinatory strong reduction that does not use the one of lambda-calculus. I also give simple and direct proofs of a standardization theorem for this reduction and the strong normalization of simply typed…
The aim of this paper is to provide a self-contained proof of a general case of the coarea inequality, also known as the Eilenberg inequality. The result is known, but we are not aware of any place that a proof would be written with all…
We derive a new variational principle for the quantum Fisher information leading to a simple iterative alternating algorithm, the convergence of which is proved. The case of a fixed measurement, i.e. the classical Fisher information, is…
We introduce Fisher consistency in the sense of unbiasedness as a desirable property for estimators of class prior probabilities. Lack of Fisher consistency could be used as a criterion to dismiss estimators that are unlikely to deliver…
We give a one-sentence elementary proof of the combinatorial Fa\`a di Bruno's formula.
