We study the Rudin-Blass (and the Rudin-Keisler) ordering on the finite additive measures on $\omega$. We propose a generalization of the notion of Q-point and selective ultrafilter to measures: Q-measures and selective measures. We show…

We give several topological/combinatorial conditions that, for a filter on $\omega$, are equivalent to being a non-meager $\mathsf{P}$-filter. In particular, we show that a filter is countable dense homogeneous if and only if it is a…

Suppose data are fitted to some parametric model but that the true model happens to be one with an additional parameter. When a parameter is to be estimated one can use likelihood estimation in the wider model or in the narrow model.…

We investigate whether an arbitrary non-zero $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring $A$ admits a reduced point, meaning an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-map $A\to T$ such that $\pi_{\ast}T$ is a graded field. We show that if $2\in \pi_0A$ is not invertible, then…

We develop correlated random measures, random measures where the atom weights can exhibit a flexible pattern of dependence, and use them to develop powerful hierarchical Bayesian nonparametric models. Hierarchical Bayesian nonparametric…

Answering two questions of D. Fremlin [Real-valued measurable cardinals, in Set Theory of the Reals, H. Judah ed. 1993, 151-305 ] we show the following: (1) If c is real-valued measurable then the Maharam type of (c,P(c),sigma) is 2^c. (2)…

We provide conditions for the existence of measurable solutions to the equation $\xi(T\omega)=f(\omega,\xi(\omega))$, where $T:\Omega \rightarrow\Omega$ is an automorphism of the probability space $\Omega$ and $f(\omega,\cdot)$ is a…

We consider non-negative $\sigma$-finite measure spaces coupled with a proper functional $P$ that plays the role of a perimeter. We introduce the Cheeger problem in this framework and extend many classical results on the Cheeger constant…

In the present paper we consider countable state $p$-adic Potts model on the Cayley tree. A construction of $p$-adic Gibbs measures which depends on weights $\l$ is given, and an investigation of such measures is reduced to examination of…

For every $0<s\leq 1$ we construct $s$-dimensional Salem measures in the unit interval that do not admit any Fourier frame. Our examples are generic for each $s$, including all existing types of Salem measures in the literature: random…

We examine the notion of strongly non-zero points and use it as a tool in the study of several types of elliptic pseudoprimes. Moreover, we give give some probabilistic results about the existence of strong elliptic pseudoprimes for a…

We prove that if less than $\aleph_{\omega}$-many Cohen reals are added to a model of \textsf{CH}, then $\omega^{\ast}$ can not be covered by nowhere dense \textsf{P}-sets (equivalently, there is an ultrafilter on $\omega$ that does not…

Besides well-known conditions of locality or factorisability, deriving the Bell inequalities requires assuming that the distribution of hidden variables and Alice's and Bob's measurement settings be independent of each other. We show that…

It is almost always easier to find an accurate-but-complex model than an accurate-yet-simple model. Finding optimal, sparse, accurate models of various forms (linear models with integer coefficients, decision sets, rule lists, decision…

In this oaper, we prove some fixed point theorems in metric vector spaces, in which the continuity is not required for the considered mappings to satisfy. We provide some concrete examples to demonstrate these theorems. We also give some…

We consider a large class of bullet models that contains, in particular, the colliding bullet model with creations and a new loop model. For this large class of bullet models, we give sufficient conditions on their parameter to be…

The theory of regular model sets is highly developed, but does not cover examples such as the visible lattice points, the k-th power-free integers, or related systems. They belong to the class of weak model sets, where the window may have a…

We explore the possibility of putting constraints on quintessence models with large-scale structure observations. In particular we compute the linear and second order growth rate of the fluctuations in different flavors of quintessence…

This paper considers a nonlinear quantile model with change-points. The quantile estimation method, which as a particular case includes median model, is more robust with respect to other traditional methods when model errors contain…

We consider the estimation of a sparse factor model where the factor loading matrix is assumed sparse. The estimation problem is reformulated as a penalized M-estimation criterion, while the restrictions for identifying the factor loading…
