The Wasserstein distance is an attractive tool for data analysis but statistical inference is hindered by the lack of distributional limits. To overcome this obstacle, for probability measures supported on finitely many points, we derive…

We obtain essentially matching upper and lower bounds for the expected max-sliced 1-Wasserstein distance between a probability measure on a separable Hilbert space and its empirical distribution from $n$ samples. By proving a Banach space…

We develop a notion of projections between sets of probability measures using the geometric properties of the 2-Wasserstein space. It is designed for general multivariate probability measures, is computationally efficient to implement, and…

The Wasserstein distance quantifies the distance between two probability measures on a metric space. We prove an analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality for the Wasserstein distance on a finite area hyperbolic surface. This inequality…

We show that the variance of a probability measure $\mu$ on a compact subset $X$ of a complete metric space $M$ is bounded by the square of the circumradius $R$ of the canonical embedding of $X$ into the space $P(M)$ of probability measures…

Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…

Wasserstein barycenters define averages of probability measures in a geometrically meaningful way. Their use is increasingly popular in applied fields, such as image, geometry or language processing. In these fields however, the probability…

We construct geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measure along which all the measures have an upper bound on their density that is determined by the densities of the endpoints of the geodesic. Using these geodesics we show…

Bell tests are of profound statistical nature. Besides physical considerations, the proper understanding of their implications should involve detailed statistical analyses. In this regard, recent works have shown that their consequences and…

We show that a natural generalization of compressibility is the sole obstruction to the existence of a cocycle-invariant Borel probability measure.

We study the weighted total variation distance between probability measures. Using Fourier-analytic tools, we present estimates in terms of Wasserstein distances between the respective probabilities, under appropriate smoothness and moment…

In the past couple of years, various approaches to representing and quantifying different types of predictive uncertainty in machine learning, notably in the setting of classification, have been proposed on the basis of second-order…

Considering a finite Borel measure $ \mu $ on $ \mathbb{R}^d $, a pair of conjugate exponents $ p, q $, and a compatible semi-inner product on $ L^p(\mu) $, we introduce $ (p,q) $-Bessel and $ (p,q) $-frame measures as a generalization of…

Let $\mu$ be an even Borel probability measure on ${\mathbb R}$. For every $N>n$ consider $N$ independent random vectors $\vec{X}_1,\ldots ,\vec{X}_N$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$, with independent coordinates having distribution $\mu $. We establish…

We examine a family of intrinsic performance measures in terms of probability distributions that generalize Hellinger distance and Fisher information. They are applied to quantum metrology to assess the uncertainty in the detection of…

We study the perturbation of a measure $\mu \in \mathscr{P}(\mathbb{R})$ consisting in superposing two copies of $\mu$, each slightly shifted by a small distance $\pm h$. The difference between $\mu$ and its perturbation is measured with a…

Let $A$ be a compact set in ${\mathbb R}^p$ of Hausdorff dimension $d$. For $s\in(0,d)$, the Riesz $s$-equilibrium measure $\mu^s$ is the unique Borel probability measure with support in $A$ that minimizes $$…

We consider the problems of hypothesis testing on a probability measure of independent sample, on solution of ill-posed problem, on deconvolution problem and on Poisson mean measure. For all these setups necessary conditions and sufficient…

We investigate Keisler measures in arbitrary theories. Our initial focus is on Borel definability. We show that when working over countable parameter sets in countable theories, Borel definable measures are closed under Morley products and…

We study the structure of the support of a doubling measure by analyzing its self-similarity properties, which we estimate using a variant of the $L^1$ Wasserstein distance. We show that measure satisfying certain self-similarity conditions…
