We reconstruct the viable f(G) gravity models from the observations and provide the analytic solutions that well describe our numerical results. In order to avoid unphysical challenges that occur during the numerical reconstruction, we…
Global SHAP explanations are typically presented as feature-importance rankings, which identify variables that matter to a black-box model but do not indicate whether their effects admit clear directional summaries, how uncertain those…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as the predominant approach for learning over graph-structured data. However, most GNNs operate as black-box models and require post-hoc explanations, which may not suffice in high-stakes scenarios…
I report a new statistical distribution formulated to confront the infamous, long-standing, computational/modeling challenge presented by highly skewed and/or leptokurtic ("fat- or heavy-tailed") data. The distribution is straightforward,…
It is well-known that real-world changes constituting distribution shift adversely affect model performance. How to characterize those changes in an interpretable manner is poorly understood. Existing techniques to address this problem take…
The most popular approach in extreme value statistics is the modelling of threshold exceedances using the asymptotically motivated generalised Pareto distribution. This approach involves the selection of a high threshold above which the…
Generalized additive models (GAMs) offer interpretability through independent univariate feature effects but underfit when interactions are present in data. GA$^2$Ms add selected pairwise interactions which improves accuracy, but sacrifices…
We present Neural Generalized Implicit Functions(Neural-GIF), to animate people in clothing as a function of the body pose. Given a sequence of scans of a subject in various poses, we learn to animate the character for new poses. Existing…
In the study of heavy tail data, several models have been introduced. If the interest is in the tail of the distribution, block maxima or excess over thresholds are the typical approaches, wasting relevant information in the bulk of the…
In this paper we study a wide and flexible family of discrete distributions, the so-called generalized negative binomial (GNB) distributions that are mixed Poisson distributions in which the mixing laws belong to the class of generalized…
While concept-based interpretability methods have traditionally focused on local explanations of neural network predictions, we propose a novel framework and interactive tool that extends these methods into the domain of mechanistic…
Intrinsic interpretability of graph neural networks (GNNs) is to find a small subset of the input graph's features -- rationale -- which guides the model prediction. Unfortunately, the leading rationalization models often rely on data…
Using a single functional form which is able to represent several different classes of statistical distributions, we introduce a preliminary study of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the cubic lattices under the influence of non-Gaussian…
The inferential model (IM) approach, like fiducial and its generalizations, depends on a representation of the data-generating process. Here, a particular variation on the IM construction is considered, one based on generalized…
We propose the notion of sub-Weibull distributions, which are characterised by tails lighter than (or equally light as) the right tail of a Weibull distribution. This novel class generalises the sub-Gaussian and sub-Exponential families to…
Fertility plans, measured by the number of planned children, have been found to be affected by education and family background via complex tail dependencies. This challenge was previously met with the use of non-parametric jittering…
Following Boukai (2021) we present the Generalized Gamma (GG) distribution as a possible RND for modeling European options prices under Heston's (1993) stochastic volatility (SV) model. This distribution is seen as especially useful in…
The paper examines the Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) based technique as a tool for obtaining probability density function and its derivatives, and mainly for fitting stochastic model with the fundamental probabilistic relationships of…
This paper introduces studies on exponentaited generalized Weibull Gompertz distribution EGWGD which generalizes a lot of distributions. Several properties of the EGWGD such as reversed (hazard) function, moments, maximum likelihood…
In this paper, we introduce a novel flexible Gini index, referred to as the extended Gini index, which is defined through ordered differences between the $j$th and $k$th order statistics within subsamples of size $m$, for indices satisfying…
