We study a one-dimensional version of the Hopfield model with long, but finite range interactions below the critical temperature. In the thermodynamic limit we obtain large deviation estimates for the distribution of the ``local'' overlaps,…

Testing for normality is a widely used procedure in statistics and data analysis, often applied prior to employing methods that rely on the assumption of normally distributed data. While several existing tests target distributional…

In a Cox model, the partial likelihood, as the product of a series of conditional probabilities, is used to estimate the regression coefficients. In practice, those conditional probabilities are approximated by risk score ratios based on a…

Two-sample feature selection is the problem of finding features that describe a difference between two probability distributions, which is a ubiquitous problem in both scientific and engineering studies. However, existing methods have…

Sliced mutual information (SMI) is defined as an average of mutual information (MI) terms between one-dimensional random projections of the random variables. It serves as a surrogate measure of dependence to classic MI that preserves many…
