In the literature of stochastic orders, one rarely finds results that can be considered as criteria for the non-comparability of random variables. In this paper, we provide results that enable researchers to use simple tools to conclude…
In this paper, we are concerned with how to select significant variables in semiparametric modeling. Variable selection for semiparametric regression models consists of two components: model selection for nonparametric components and…
Rank-based inference methods are applied in various disciplines, typically when procedures relying on standard normal theory are not justifiable, for example when data are not symmetrically distributed, contain outliers, or responses are…
In regression analysis, associations between continuous predictors and the outcome are often assumed to be linear. However, modeling the associations as non-linear can improve model fit. Many flexible modeling techniques, like (fractional)…
There is a long-standing debate in the statistical, epidemiological and econometric fields as to whether nonparametric estimation that uses data-adaptive methods, like machine learning algorithms in model fitting, confer any meaningful…
We present numerical experiments for geophysics electromagnetic (EM) modeling based upon high-order edge elements and supervised $h+p$ refinement approaches on massively parallel computers. Our high-order $h+p$ refinement strategy is based…
The present paper deals with the perturbation analysis of set-valued inclusion problems, a problem format whose relevance has recently emerged in such contexts as robust and vector optimization as well as in vector equilibrium theory. The…
The topological space of the stack of $G$-zips can be computed using a refinement process. We extend this refinement process to a more general framework and show that in many situations this process can be used to compute the equivalence…
Spatially embedded networks are shaped by a combination of purely topological (space-independent) and space-dependent formation rules. While it is quite easy to artificially generate networks where the relative importance of these two…
In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach, the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the…
In his recent research M. K. Tam (2018) considered a framework for the analysis of iterative algorithms which can be described in terms of a structured set-valued operator. At each point in the ambient space, the value of the operator can…
There is a recent surge of interest in nonconvex reformulations via low-rank factorization for stochastic convex semidefinite optimization problem in the purpose of efficiency and scalability. Compared with the original convex formulations,…
Measurement error is a pervasive issue which renders the results of an analysis unreliable. The measurement error literature contains numerous correction techniques, which can be broadly divided into those which aim to produce exactly…
A barrier to the wider adoption of neural networks is their lack of interpretability. While local explanation methods exist for one prediction, most global attributions still reduce neural network decisions to a single set of features. In…
Adapting pre-trained foundation models for various downstream tasks has been prevalent in artificial intelligence. Due to the vast number of tasks and high costs, adjusting all parameters becomes unfeasible. To mitigate this, several…
The development and identification of effective optimization algorithms for non-convex real-world problems is a challenge in global optimization. Because theoretical performance analysis is difficult, and problems based on models of…
The extremal dependence structure of a regularly varying $d$-dimensional random vector can be described by its angular measure. The standard nonparametric estimator of this measure is the empirical measure of the observed angles of the $k$…
For a class of expanding maps with neutral singularities we prove the validity of a finite rank approximation scheme for the analysis of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures. Earlier results of this sort were known only in the case of hyperbolic…
Multivariate extreme value theory is concerned with modeling the joint tail behavior of several random variables. Existing work mostly focuses on asymptotic dependence, where the probability of observing a large value in one of the…
Optimization problems involving mixed variables (i.e., variables of numerical and categorical nature) can be challenging to solve, especially in the presence of mixed-variable constraints. Moreover, when the objective function is the result…
