We reconsider some classical natural semantics of integers (namely iterators of functions, cardinals of sets, index of equivalence relations), in the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. To each such semantics one can attach a simple…

We derive normal approximation bounds in the Kolmogorov distance for sums of discrete multiple integrals and $U$-statistics made of independent Bernoulli random variables. Such bounds are applied to normal approximation for the renormalized…

We have developed a general Bayesian algorithm for determining the coordinates of points in a three-dimensional space. The algorithm takes as input a set of probabilistic constraints on the coordinates of the points, and an a priori…

We revisit extending the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between probability distributions to the multidimensional setting and make new arguments about the proper way to approach this generalization. Our proposed formulation maximizes the…

In this paper we will analyze discrete probability distributions in which probabilities of particular outcomes of some experiment (microstates) can be represented by the ratio of natural numbers (in other words, probabilities are…

A simple, intuitive approach to the assessment of probabilistic inferences is introduced. The Shannon information metrics are translated to the probability domain. The translation shows that the negative logarithmic score and the geometric…

Co lombeau's construction of generalized functions (in its special variant) is extended to a theory of generalized sections of vector bundles. As particular cases, generalized tensor analysis and exterior algebra are studied. A point value…

There are interesting extensions of the problem of determining a joint probability with known marginals. On the one hand, one may impose size constraints on the joint probabilities. On the other, one may impose additional constraints like…
