Unlike typical phase transitions of first and second order, a system displaying the Thouless effect exhibits characteristics of both at the critical point (jumps in the order parameter and anomalously large fluctuations). An $extreme$…
We establish a central limit theorem for the fluctuations of the linear statistics in the $\beta$-ensemble of dimension $N$ at a temperature proportional to $N$ and with confining smooth potential. In this regime, the particles do not…
Statistical mechanics describes interaction between particles of a physical system. Particle properties of the system can be modelled with a random field on a lattice and studied at different distance scales using renormalization group…
Subsampling is a computationally effective approach to extract information from massive data sets when computing resources are limited. After a subsample is taken from the full data, most available methods use an inverse probability…
Maximum pseudolikelihood (MPL) estimators are useful alternatives to maximum likelihood (ML) estimators when likelihood functions are more difficult to manipulate than their marginal and conditional components. Furthermore, MPL estimators…

We discuss the spectral asymptotics of some open subsets of the real line with random fractal boundary and of a random fractal, the continuum random tree. In the case of open subsets with random fractal boundary we establish the existence…
In this paper, under the assumption that the dimension is much larger than the sample size, i.e., $p \asymp n^{\alpha}, \alpha>1,$ we consider the (unnormalized) sample covariance matrices $Q = \Sigma^{1/2} XX^*\Sigma^{1/2}$, where…
We prove a central limit theorem for the linear statistics of one-dimensional log-gases, or $\beta$-ensembles. We use a method based on a change of variables which allows to treat fairly general situations, including multi-cut and, for the…
Inverse Ising inference allows pairwise interactions of complex binary systems to be reconstructed from empirical correlations. Typical estimators used for this inference, such as Pseudo-likelihood maximization (PLM), are biased. Using the…

Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) are widely used for analysing clustered data. One well-established method of overcoming the integral in the marginal likelihood function for GLMMs is penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) estimation,…
Carrying out explicitly the computation in a paradigmatic model of non-interacting systems, the Gaussian Model, we show the existence of a singular point in the probability distribution $P(M)$ of an extensive variable $M$. Interpreting…
Random-effects models are central to meta-analysis, yet the between-study variance is often underestimated when the number of studies is small. In such settings, confidence intervals become unduly narrow and fail to attain the nominal…
In this paper we propose a new approach to the central limit theorem (CLT), based on functions of bounded F\'echet variation for the continuously differentiable linear statistics of random matrix ensembles which relies on: a weaker form of…
The behavior of maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) and the likelihood ratio statistic in a family of problems involving pointwise nonparametric estimation of a monotone function is studied. This class of problems differs radically from the…

This paper studies the problem of clustering in the two-component Gaussian mixture model where the centers are separated by $2\Delta$ for some $\Delta>0$. We characterize the exact phase transition threshold, given by $$ \bar{\Delta}_n^{2}…
Mixture of autoregressions (MoAR) models provide a model-based approach to the clustering of time series data. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of MoAR models requires the evaluation of products of large numbers of densities of normal…
