This survey addresses sampling discretization and its connections with other areas of mathematics. The survey concentrates on sampling discretization of norms of elements of finite-dimensional subspaces. We present here known results on…
This article introduces a general statistical modeling principle called "Density Sharpening" and applies it to the analysis of discrete count data. The underlying foundation is based on a new theory of nonparametric approximation and…
We address the question of astronomical image processing from data obtained with array detectors. We define and analyze the cases of evenly, regularly, and irregularly sampled maps for idealized (i.e., infinite) and realistic (i.e., finite)…
We are interested in comparing probability distributions defined on Riemannian manifold. The traditional approach to study a distribution relies on locating its mean point and finding the dispersion about that point. On a general manifold…
For uncertainty propagation of highly complex and/or nonlinear problems, one must resort to sample-based non-intrusive approaches [1]. In such cases, minimizing the number of function evaluations required to evaluate the response surface is…
Functions of interest are often smooth and sparse in some sense, and both priors should be taken into account when interpolating sampled data. Classical linear interpolation methods are effective under strong regularity assumptions, but…
The Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation problem of a function given on arbitrarily distributed points on the sphere and other manifolds is considered. Each proposed interpolant is expressed as a linear combination of basis functions, the…
Standard interpolation techniques are implicitly based on the assumption that the signal lies on a homogeneous domain. In this letter, the proposed interpolation method instead exploits prior information about domain inhomogeneity,…
Large patterns could exist on the microwave sky as a result of various non-standard possibilities for the large-scale Universe -- rotation or shear, non-trivial topology, and single topological defects are specific examples. All-sky (or…
A new method for improving the resolution of astronomical images is presented. It is based on the principle that sampled data cannot be fully deconvolved without violating the sampling theorem. Thus, the sampled image should not be…
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) discretization techniques are generalized to develop a method, smoothed particle interpolation (SPI), for solving initial value problems of systems of non-hydrodynamical nature. Under this approach, SPH…
The use of weather index insurances is subject to spatial basis risk, which arises from the fact that the location of the user's risk exposure is not the same as the location of any of the weather stations where an index can be measured. To…
Diffusion models have achieved remarkable progress in various domains with an intriguing ability to produce new data that do not exist in the training set. In this work, we study the hypothesis that such creativity arises from the neural…
Complex phenomena can be better understood when broken down into a limited number of simpler "components". Linear statistical methods such as the principal component analysis and its variants are widely used across various fields of applied…
In recent years, geotagged social media has become popular as a novel source for geographic knowledge discovery. Ground-level images and videos provide a different perspective than overhead imagery and can be applied to a range of…
Splines and subdivision curves are flexible tools in the design and manipulation of curves in Euclidean space. In this paper we study generalizations of interpolating splines and subdivision schemes to the Riemannian manifold of shell…
Interpolation of data on non-Euclidean spaces is an active research area fostered by its numerous applications. This work considers the Hermite interpolation problem: finding a sufficiently smooth manifold curve that interpolates a…
This contribution introduces a novel signal extrapolation algorithm and its application to image error concealment. The signal extrapolation is carried out by iteratively generating a model of the signal suffering from distortion. Thereby,…
We consider the problem of estimating a spatially varying density function, motivated by problems that arise in large-scale radiological survey and anomaly detection. In this context, the density functions to be estimated are the background…
I will briefly present my work on cosmological parameters estimation. Classical methods for parameters estimation involve the exploration of the parameter space on a precalculated grid of cosmological models. Here we try to estimate the…
