The digitalization of credit scoring has become essential for financial institutions and commercial banks, especially in the era of digital transformation. Machine learning techniques are commonly used to evaluate customers'…

One way to interpret smoothness of a measure in infinite dimensions is quasi-invariance of the measure under a class of transformations. Usually such settings lack a reference measure such as the Lebesgue or Haar measure, and therefore we…

Let $\mu$ be a positive measure on the real line with locally finite support $\Lambda$ and integer masses such that its Fourier transform in the sense of distributions is a purely point measure. An explicit form is found for an entire…

New sufficient conditions for representation of a function of several variables as an absolutely convergent Fourier integral are obtained in the paper.

The Hoover index is a widely used measure of inequality with an intuitive interpretation, yet little is known about the finite-sample properties of its empirical estimator. In this paper, we derive a simple expression for the expected value…

Data cohesion, a recently introduced measure inspired by social interactions, uses distance comparisons to assess relative proximity. In this work, we provide a collection of results which can guide the development of cohesion-based methods…

The standard proof of the equivalence of Fourier type on R^d and on the torus T^d is usually stated in terms of an implicit constant, defined as the minimum of a sum of powers of sinc functions. In this note we compute this minimum…

Initially motivated by the study of the non-asymptotic properties of non-parametric tests based on permutation methods, concentration inequalities for uniformly permuted sums have been largely studied in the literature. Recently, Delyon et…

Income inequality is known to have negative impacts on an economic system, thus has been debated for a hundred years past or more. Numerous ideas have been proposed to quantify income inequality, and the Gini coefficient is a prevalent…

Mathematical analysis of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) led to the development of a mathematical function, usually called the inconsistency index, which has the center role in measuring the inconsistency of the judgements in AHP.…

In this short paper, we give a complete and affirmative answer to a conjecture on matrix trace inequalities for the sum of positive semidefinite matrices. We also apply the obtained inequality to derive a kind of generalized Golden-Thompson…

An index transform, involving the square of Whittaker's function is introduced and investigated. The corresponding inversion formula is established. Particular cases cover index transforms of the Lebedev type with products of the modified…

As machine learning models increasingly impact society, their opaque nature poses challenges to trust and accountability, particularly in fairness contexts. Understanding how individual features influence model outcomes is crucial for…

In this paper, new versions of Chebyshev's, Minkowski's and Holder's type inequalities are studied by using a monotone measure-base universal integral on an arbitrary measurable space. This paper generalizes some previous results obtained…

This paper considers derivation of $f$-divergence inequalities via the approach of functional domination. Bounds on an $f$-divergence based on one or several other $f$-divergences are introduced, dealing with pairs of probability measures…

We propose a criterion of equidistribution by the differentiability of certain arithmetic invariants. Combined with the slope method and the asymptotic measures, this criterion gives a new "conceptual" proof to equidistribution results…

An analogue of the Fourier transform will be introduced for all square integrable continuous martingale processes whose quadratic variation is deterministic. Using this transform we will formulate and prove a stochastic Heisenberg…

We investigate the problem of reliably assessing group fairness when labeled examples are few but unlabeled examples are plentiful. We propose a general Bayesian framework that can augment labeled data with unlabeled data to produce more…

We argue that there should exist a "noncommutative Fourier transform" which should identify functions of noncommutative variables (say, of matrices of indeterminate size) and ordinary functions or measures on the space of paths. Some…

We consider an integral transform given by $T_{\nu} f(s) := \pi \int_0^\infty rs J_{\nu}(r s)^2 f(r) \, dr$, where $J_{\nu}$ denotes the Bessel function of the first kind of order $\nu$. As shown by Walther (2002,…
