We consider partially observed multiscale diffusion models that are specified up to an unknown vector parameter. We establish for a very general class of test functions that the filter of the original model converges to a filter of reduced…
The volume is an important attribute of a convex body. In general, it is quite difficult to calculate the exact volume. But in many cases, it suffices to have an approximate value. Volume estimation methods for convex bodies have been…
Monte Carlo integration is a commonly used technique to compute intractable integrals and is typically thought to perform poorly for very high-dimensional integrals. To show that this is not always the case, we examine Monte Carlo…
Consider a non-negative number $t$ and a hyperplane $H$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose distance to the center of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$ is $t$. If $t$ is equal to $0$ and $H$ is orthogonal to a diagonal of $[0,1]^d$, it is known that the…
This paper investigates a class of algorithms for numerical integration of a function in d dimensions over a compact domain by Monte Carlo methods. We construct a histogram approximation to the function using a partition of the integration…

The manifold hypothesis suggests that high-dimensional data often lie on or near a low-dimensional manifold. Estimating the dimension of this manifold is essential for leveraging its structure, yet existing work on dimension estimation is…

In the d dimensional Euclidean space, any set of n+1 independent random points, uniformly distributed in the interior of a unit ball of center O, determines almost surely a circumsphere of center C and of radius R, with n positive and less…
The derivatives with respect to the variable $r$ of $\pi r^2$ and $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ are $2\pi r$ and $4\pi r^2$, respectively. This relates, through the derivative, the area enclosed in a circle to the length of that circle and,…
We present a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for estimating the volume of a hypercube intersected by a fixed number of constraints of the type $f(x) \leq b$, where $f$ is the sum of univariate functions that are each nonnegative,…
It is a standard assumption that datasets in high dimension have an internal structure which means that they in fact lie on, or near, subsets of a lower dimension. In many instances it is important to understand the real dimension of the…
Shape metrics for objects in high dimensions remain sparse. Those that do exist, such as hyper-volume, remain limited to objects that are better understood such as Platonic solids and $n$-Cubes. Further, understanding objects of ill-defined…
The estimation of information measures of continuous distributions based on samples is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning. In this paper, we analyze estimates of differential entropy in $K$-dimensional Euclidean space,…
Estimating the density of a continuous random variable X has been studied extensively in statistics, in the setting where n independent observations of X are given a priori and one wishes to estimate the density from that. Popular methods…
This note states and proves a representation theorem for regular quantity functions, based on the theory of quantity spaces, thereby giving a new perspective on dimensional analysis and the classical $\pi$ theorem.
We present an aid for importance sampling in Monte Carlo integration, which is of the general-purpose type in the sense that it in principle deals with any quadratically integrable integrand on a unit hyper-cube of arbitrary dimension. In…
We propose and study the framework of dissipative statistical solutions for the incompressible Euler equations. Statistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on the space of square-integrable functions, whose…

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a prevalent neuroimaging tool in analyzing the anatomical structure. The distinguishing feature of DTI is that the voxel-wise variable is a 3x3 positive definite matrix other than a scalar, describing the…
