Bialek, Callan and Strong have recently given a solution of the problem of determining a continuous probability distribution from a finite set of experimental measurements by formulating it as a one-dimensional quantum field theory. This…
Two semimetrics on probability distributions are proposed, given as the sum of differences of expectations of analytic functions evaluated at spatial or frequency locations (i.e, features). The features are chosen so as to maximize the…

The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD) have drawn a lot of interest from the theoretical community since 1997, but also from the experimental community and especially at Jefferson Lab. First, the results for Deeply Virtual Compton…
Generalized parton distributions provide a unifying framework for the interpretation of exclusive reactions at high $Q^2$. The most promising reaction for the investigation of these distributions is the hard production of photons using…
I review recent progress in the determination of the parton structure of the nucleon, in particular from deep-inelastic structure functions. I explain how the needs of current and future precision phenomenology, specifically at the LHC,…

We introduce a new characterization of Pareto distribution and construct integral and supremum type goodness-of-fit tests based on it. Limiting distribution and large deviations of new statistics are described and their local Bahadur…

Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI.…
The log-normal distribution is used to describe the positive data, that it has skewed distribution with small mean and large variance. This distribution has application in many sciences for example medicine, economics, biology and…

Distribution testing is a fundamental statistical task with many applications, but we are interested in a variety of problems where systematic mislabelings of the sample prevent us from applying the existing theory. To apply distribution…
