The problem tackled in this paper is the determination of sample size for a given level and power in the context of a simple linear regression model. At a technical level, the simple linear regression model is a five-parameter model. It is…
We consider the estimation of the affine parameter (and power-law exponent) in the preferential attachment model with random initial degrees. We derive the likelihood, and show that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is asymptotically…
Systems may depend on parameters which one may control, or which serve to optimise the system, or are imposed externally, or they could be uncertain. This last case is taken as the ``Leitmotiv'' for the following. A reduced order model is…
Simplicial-simplicial regression refers to the regression setting where both the responses and predictor variables lie within the simplex space, i.e. they are compositional. For this setting, constrained least squares, where the regression…
In this work we use matrix models to study the problem of strength distributions. This is motivated by noticing near exponential fall offs of strengths in calculated magnetic dipole excitations. We emphasize that the quality of the…
We give the lower bound for the growth of the maximum value for a solution to the minimal surface equation with 0 boundary values over an unbounded simply connected domain.
A difficult task in modeling with Bayesian networks is the elicitation of numerical parameters of Bayesian networks. A large number of parameters is needed to specify a conditional probability table (CPT) that has a larger parent set. In…
In this paper, we present explicit expressions for the mixed and componentwise condition numbers of the truncated total least squares (TTLS) solution of $A\boldsymbol{x} \approx \boldsymbol{b} $ under the genericity condition, where $A$ is…
Recent developments in graph theoretic analysis of complex networks have led to deeper understanding of brain networks. Many complex networks show similar macroscopic behaviors despite differences in the microscopic details. Probably two…
Recently, one paper in Nature(Papadopoulos, 2012) raised an old debate on the origin of the scale-free property of complex networks, which focuses on whether the scale-free property origins from the optimization or not. Because the…
Given a wireless network where some pairs of communication links interfere with each other, we study sufficient conditions for determining whether a given set of minimum bandwidth Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be satisfied. We…
Let $k\leq n$ be two positive integers and $q$ a prime power. The basic question in minimal linear codes is to determine if there exists an $[n,k]_q$ minimal linear code. The first objective of this paper is to present a new sufficient and…
Recently, Broido & Clauset (2019) mentioned that (strict) Scale-Free networks were rare, in real life. This might be related to the statement of Stumpf, Wiuf & May (2005), that sub-networks of scale-free networks are not scale-free. In the…
Neural scaling laws underlie many of the recent advances in deep learning, yet their theoretical understanding remains largely confined to linear models. In this work, we present a systematic analysis of scaling laws for quadratic and…
Motivated by the least squares solver Blendenpik, we investigate three strategies for uniform sampling of rows from m x n matrices Q with orthonormal columns. The goal is to determine, with high probability, how many rows are required so…
Small-world networks are the focus of recent interest because they appear to circumvent many of the limitations of either random networks or regular lattices as frameworks for the study of interaction networks of complex systems. Here, we…
Coding schemes with extremely low computational complexity are required for particular applications, such as wireless body area networks, in which case both very high data accuracy and very low power-consumption are required features. In…
We present a spectral analysis for matrix scaling and operator scaling. We prove that if the input matrix or operator has a spectral gap, then a natural gradient flow has linear convergence. This implies that a simple gradient descent…
We study the problem of computing the tightest upper and lower bounds on the probability that the sum of $n$ dependent Bernoulli random variables exceeds an integer $k$. Under knowledge of all pairs of bivariate distributions denoted by a…
The condition number of the $n\ x\ n$ matrix $P$ is examined, where $P$ solves %the discete Lyapunov equation, $P - A P A^* = BB^*$, and $B$ is a $n\ x\ d$ matrix. Lower bounds on the condition number, $\kappa$, of $P$ are given when $A$ is…
