In a given problem, the Bayesian statistical paradigm requires the specification of a prior distribution that quantifies relevant information about the unknowns of main interest external to the data. In cases where little such information…
A concise derivation of a new multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions is presented. The new product $\star$ is defined in the vector space ${\cal A}$ of piecewise smooth functions on $\bkR$ and all their (distributional)…
This thesis is dedicated to developing a dilation theory for semigroups of completely positive maps. The first part treats two-parameter semigroups, and contains also contributions to dilation theory of product system representations. The…
We revisit the distributed hypothesis testing (or hypothesis testing with communication constraints) problem from the viewpoint of privacy. Instead of observing the raw data directly, the transmitter observes a sanitized or randomized…
A standard tool for model selection in a Bayesian framework is the Bayes factor which compares the marginal likelihood of the data under two given different models. In this paper, we consider the class of hierarchical loglinear models for…
Using some extensions of a theorem of Heppes on finitely supported discrete probability measures, we address the problems of classification and testing based on projections. In particular, when the support of the distributions is known in…
The well-known Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff theorem in Lie theory says that the logarithm of a noncommutative product e X e Y can be expressed in terms of iterated commutators of X and Y. This paper provides a gentle introduction t{\'o}…
We study the value distribution of the Sudler product $\prod_{n=1}^N |2 \sin (\pi n \alpha )|$ and the Diophantine product $\prod_{n=1}^N (2e\| n \alpha \|)$ for various irrational $\alpha$, as $N$ ranges in a long interval of integers. At…
Under two assumptions, we determine the distribution of the difference between two functions each counting the numbers < x that are in a given arithmetic progression modulo q and the product of two primes. The two assumptions are (i) the…
Let $0 < \beta \leq \alpha < 1$ and $\kappa > 0$. I prove that there exists $\eta > 0$ such that the following holds for every pair of Borel sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A = \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =…
A new family of probability distributions $\beta_{M, N},$ $M=0\cdots N,$ $N\in\mathbb{N}$ on the unit interval $(0, 1]$ is defined by the Mellin transform. The Mellin transform of $\beta_{M, N}$ is characterized in terms of products of…
Let $p$ be a prime. Let $A$ and $B$, $A \ge B \ge 0$, be integers with base $p$ expansions $A = \alpha_i\alpha_{i-1}\dots \alpha_0$ and $B = \beta_i\beta_{i-1}\dots \beta_0$. Lucas proved that $$\binom{A}{B} \equiv…
In this paper, we prove that the product (in the distribution sense) of two functions, which are respectively in $ \BMO(\bR^n)$ and $\H^1(\bR^n)$, may be written as the sum of two continuous bilinear operators, one from $\H^1(\bR^n)\times…
The hyperbolic secant distribution has several generalizations with applications in finance. In this study, we explore the dual geometric structure of one such generalization, namely the beta-logistic distribution. Recent findings also…
Instead of testing for unanimous agreement, I propose learning how broad of a consensus favors one distribution over another (of earnings, productivity, asset returns, test scores, etc.). Specifically, given a sample from each of two…
If $\mathcal{H}$ denotes a Hilbert space of analytic functions on a region $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}^d$, then the weak product is defined by $$\mathcal{H}\odot\mathcal{H}=\left\{h=\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n g_n : \sum_{n=1}^\infty…
We study the effect that the amount of correlation in a bipartite distribution has on the communication complexity of a problem under that distribution. We introduce a new family of complexity measures that interpolates between the two…
The law of large numbers (LLN) and central limit theorem (CLT) are long and widely been known as two fundamental results in probability theory. Recently problems of model uncertainties in statistics, measures of risk and superhedging in…
A homotopy commutative algebra, or $C_{\infty}$-algebra, is defined via the Tornike Kadeishvili homotopy transfer theorem on the vector space generated by the set of Young tableaux with self-conjugated Young diagrams. We prove that this…
We study a family of fractional integral operator defined on an homogeneous space with a "rectangle doubling" measure. As a result, we give an extension of the classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theorem to a multi-parameter setting.
