We present an algorithm of clustering of many-dimensional objects, where only the distances between objects are used. Centers of classes are found with the aid of neuron-like procedure with lateral inhibition. The result of clustering does…
We propose a methodology to explore and measure the pairwise correlations that exist between variables in a dataset. The methodology leverages copulas for encoding dependence between two variables, state-of-the-art optimal transport for…
In order to get an estimate of the homogeneity of the distribution of matter in a fast hadron, we compute the correlation of the saturation scales between different impact parameters. We find that these correlations are quite strong: The…
Distances to compact sets are widely used in the field of Topological Data Analysis for inferring geometric and topological features from point clouds. In this context, the distance to a probability measure (DTM) has been introduced by…
An $m$-distance set is a collection of points such that the distances between any two points have $m$ possible values. We use two different methods to construct large $m$-distance sets on the triangular lattices. One is to use the first m…
Random geometric graphs are a popular choice for a latent points generative model for networks. Their definition is based on a sample of $n$ points $X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n$ on the Euclidean sphere~$\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ which represents the latent…
Understanding how two datasets differ can help us determine whether one dataset under-represents certain sub-populations, and provides insights into how well models will generalize across datasets. Representative points selected by a…
Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be a prime field, and ${\mathcal E}$ a set in $\mathbb{F}_p^2$. Let $\Delta({\mathcal E})=\{||x-y||: x,y \in {\mathcal E} \}$, the distance set of ${\mathcal E}$. In this paper, we provide a quantitative connection…
The Hausdorff distance is a measure of (dis-)similarity between two sets which is widely used in various applications. Most of the applied literature is devoted to the computation for sets consisting of a finite number of points. This has…
Let P be a point inside a convex quadrilateral ABCD. The lines from P to the vertices of the quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into four triangles. If we locate a triangle center in each of these triangles, the four triangle centers…
In this paper, we present a new metric distance for comparing two large graphs to find similarities and differences between them based on one of the most important graph structural properties, which is Node Adjacency Information, for all…
We propose a new method for local distance metric learning based on sample similarity as side information. These local metrics, which utilize conical combinations of metric weight matrices, are learned from the pooled spatial…
The difficulties of detecting association, measuring correlation, and establishing cause and effect have fascinated mankind since time immemorial. Democritus, the Greek philosopher, underscored well the importance and the difficulty of…
We review some basic results of convex analysis and geometry in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the context of formulating a differential equation to track the distance between an observer flying outside a convex set $K$ and $K$ itself.
The setting for this brief paper is R^3. Distance between two spheres is understood as distance delta between spherical centers. For instance, a Reuleaux tetrahedron T is the intersection of four unit balls satisfying delta=1 pairwise.…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
We consider gapless models of statistical mechanics. At zero temperatures correlation functions decay asymptotically as powers of distance in these models. Temperature correlations decay exponentially. We used an example of solvable model…
We consider the directed Hausdorff distance between point sets in the plane, where one or both point sets consist of imprecise points. An imprecise point is modelled by a disc given by its centre and a radius. The actual position of an…
The deviation test belong to core tools in point process statistics, where hypotheses are typically tested considering differences between an empirical summary function and its expectation under the null hypothesis, which depend on a…
The {\em bottleneck distance} is a natural measure of the distance between two finite point sets of equal cardinality, defined as the minimum over all bijections between the point sets of the maximum distance between any pair of points put…
