Researchers increasingly have access to two types of data: (i) large observational datasets where treatment (e.g., class size) is not randomized but several primary outcomes (e.g., graduation rates) and secondary outcomes (e.g., test…

Probabilities of causation play a crucial role in modern decision-making. Pearl defined three binary probabilities of causation, the probability of necessity and sufficiency (PNS), the probability of sufficiency (PS), and the probability of…

We discuss the possibilities and limitations of estimating the mean of a real-valued random variable from independent and identically distributed observations from a non-asymptotic point of view. In particular, we define estimators with a…

While statistics focusses on hypothesis testing and on estimating (properties of) the true sampling distribution, in machine learning the performance of learning algorithms on future data is the primary issue. In this paper we bridge the…

This paper is motivated by an astonishing result of H. Alzer and S. Ruscheweyh published in 2001 in the Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., which states that the intersection of the classes two-variable Gini means and Stolarsky means is equal to the…

Estimation of mutual information between (multidimensional) real-valued variables is used in analysis of complex systems, biological systems, and recently also quantum systems. This estimation is a hard problem, and universally good…

This paper introduces a novel concept of interval probability measures that enables the representation of imprecise probabilities, or uncertainty, in a natural and coherent manner. Within an algebra of sets, we introduce a notion of weak…

The present work provides a systematic approach for the design of sampled-data observers to a wide class of 1-D, parabolic PDEs with non-local outputs. The studied class of parabolic PDEs allows the presence of globally Lipschitz nonlinear…

We use bias-reduced estimators of high quantiles, of heavy-tailed distributions, to introduce a new estimator of the mean in the case of infinite second moment. The asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is established and checked,…

We propose a framework to analyze and quantify the bias in adaptive data analysis. It generalizes that proposed by Russo and Zou'15, applying to measurements whose moment generating function exists, measurements with a finite $p$-norm, and…
