In this paper, we revisit the notion of partial copula, originally introduced to test conditional independence, highlighting its capability to represent the dependence between two random variables after removing their dependence with a…
We consider the distribution of the major index on standard tableaux of arbitrary straight shape and certain skew shapes. We use cumulants to classify all possible limit laws for any sequence of such shapes in terms of a simple auxiliary…
Unfolding problems often arise in the context of statistical data analysis. Such problematics occur when the probability distribution of a physical quantity is to be measured, but it is randomized (smeared) by some well understood process,…
This paper is motivated by relations between association and independence of random variables. It is well-known that for real random variables independence implies association in the sense of Esary, Proschan and Walkup, while for random…
The classical theorem of Wendel provides an exact formula for the probability that the convex hull of independent symmetrically distributed vectors in ${\mathbb R}^d$ contains the origin as long as the distributions of the vectors are…
In this work we have studied the optical properties of disordered photonic structures, in which we have controlled the distribution of the random layer thickness. Such structures are characterized by an alternation of high and low…
In this paper, we study the reconstruction of a bivariate function from weighted integrals along the edges of a triangular mesh, a problem of central importance in tomography, computer vision, and numerical approximation. Our approach…
We study the order theoretic properties of relative weak injectivity, w.r.i., in short, in the category of C*-algebras. We prove that Arveson's extension theorem, with additional order assumption on the morphisms, is tightly connected with…
We propose a new semiparametric approach for modelling nonlinear univariate diffusions, where the observed process is a nonparametric transformation of an underlying parametric diffusion (UPD). This modelling strategy yields a general class…
We study random graphs with latent geometric structure, where the probability of each edge depends on the underlying random positions corresponding to the two endpoints. We focus on the setting where this conditional probability is a…
In this paper we have considered a difference of Jensen's inequality for convex functions and proved some of its properties. In particular, we have obtained results for Csisz\'{a}r \cite{csi1} $f-$divergence. A result is established that…
We present the real interpolation with variable exponent and we prove the basic properties in analogy to the classical real interpolation. More precisely, we prove that under some additional conditions, this method can be reduced to the…
Statistical properties of interbeat intervals cascade are evaluated by considering the joint probability distribution $P(\Delta x_2,\tau_2;\Delta x_1,\tau_1)$ for two interbeat increments $\Delta x_1$ and $\Delta x_2$ of different time…
If $\alpha$ is a probability on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $t>0,$ consider the Dirichlet random probability $P_t\sim\mathcal{D}(t\alpha) ;$ it is such that for any measurable partition $(A_0,\ldots,A_k)$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ then…
We apply L.~Schwartz' theory of vector valued distributions in order to simplify, unify and generalize statements about convolvability of distributions, their regularization properties and topological properties of sets of distributions.…
We introduce different notions of separation for families of Anosov representations. We show that, along a diverging sequence of such families, the critical exponent is asymptotic to a combinatorial invariant computable from the spectral…
To estimate cosmological parameters from a given dataset, we need to construct a likelihood function, which sometimes has a complicated functional form. We introduce the copula, a mathematical tool to construct an arbitrary multivariate…
We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…
The families of $f$-divergences (e.g. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) and Integral Probability Metrics (e.g. total variation distance or maximum mean discrepancies) are widely used to quantify the similarity between probability…
We introduce and study the r-Lah distribution whose definition involves r-Stirling numbers of both kinds. We compute its expectation and variance, show its log-concavity and prove limit theorems for this distribution. We use these results…
