The Sombor index, a degree-based topological descriptor introduced by Gutman in 2021, lacks closed-form expressions for complex hierarchical trees with multi-level pendant structures and nonuniform degree distributions, despite extensive…
Tree-based methods are popular nonparametric tools in studying time-to-event outcomes. In this article, we introduce a novel framework for survival trees and ensembles, where the trees partition the dynamic survivor population and can…
Random Forests and Gradient Boosting are among the most effective algorithms for supervised learning on tabular data. Both belong to the class of tree-based ensemble methods, where predictions are obtained by aggregating many randomized…
Simple stochastic models for phylogenetic trees on species have been well studied. But much paleontology data concerns time series or trees on higher-order taxa, and any broad picture of relationships between extant groups requires use of…
In recent years, a number of methods have been developed to infer complex demographic histories, especially historical population size changes, from genomic sequence data. Coalescent Hidden Markov Models have proven to be particularly…
Consider spanning trees on the two-dimensional Sierpinski gasket SG(n) where stage $n$ is a non-negative integer. For any given vertex $x$ of SG(n), we derive rigorously the probability distribution of the degree $j \in \{1,2,3,4\}$ at the…
The first multiplicative Zagreb index $\Pi_1$ of a graph $G$ is the product of the square of every vertex degree, while the second multiplicative Zagreb index $\Pi_2$ is the product of the products of degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices.…
We consider the problem of estimating species trees from unrooted gene tree topologies in the presence of incomplete lineage sorting, a common phenomenon that creates gene tree heterogeneity in multilocus datasets. One popular class of…
We make use of multiplicative degree-based topological indices $X_\Pi(G)$ to perform a detailed analytical and statistical study of random networks $G=(V(G),E(G))$. We consider two classes of indices: $X_\Pi(G) = \prod_{u \in V(G)}…

A uniform recursive tree on $n$ vertices is a random tree where each possible $(n-1)!$ labeled recursive rooted tree is selected with equal probability. In this paper we introduce and study weighted trees, a non-uniform recursive tree model…
We study the problem of maximizing the number of full degree vertices in a spanning tree $T$ of a graph $G$; that is, the number of vertices whose degree in $T$ equals its degree in $G$. In cubic graphs, this problem is equivalent to…
We consider a multivariate distributional recursion of sum-type as arising in the probabilistic analysis of algorithms and random trees. We prove an upper tail bound for the solution using Chernoff's bounding technique by estimating the…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze certain statistics of a recently introduced non-uniform random tree model, biased recursive trees. This model is based on constructing a random tree by establishing a correspondence with non-uniform…
In this paper, we study a regular rooted coloured tree with random labels assigned to its edges, where the distribution of the label assigned to an edge depends on the colours of its endpoints. We obtain some new results relevant to this…
Random forests have become an established tool for classification and regression, in particular in high-dimensional settings and in the presence of complex predictor-response relationships. For bounded outcome variables restricted to the…
