Because observations of galaxies and clusters have been found inconsistent with General Relativity (GR), the focus of effort in developing a Scalar Potential Model (SPM) has been on the examination of galaxies and clusters. The SPM has been…
This document is a companion for the Maple program \textbf{Summing a polynomial function over integral points of a polygon}. It contains two parts. First, we see what this programs does. In the second part, we briefly recall the…
Let P be the set of the sequence of polynomials of degree n. The aim of this paper is to study the Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with P and of the first kind associated with P, in a unified and systematic way with the help…
Increasingly, researchers have suggested the benefits of temporal analysis to improve our understanding of the learning process. Sequential pattern mining (SPM), as a pattern recognition technique, has the potential to reveal the temporal…
Signal Processing (SP) and Machine Learning (ML) rely on good math and coding knowledge, in particular, linear algebra, probability, trigonometry, and complex numbers. A good grasp of these relies on scalar algebra learned in middle school.…
We defined numbers of the form $p\cdot a^2$ as SP numbers (Square-Prime numbers) ($a\neq1$, $p$ prime) in 'Distribution of Square-Prime Numbers' (arXiv:2109.10238). These numbers are listed in the OEIS as A228056. Some examples of SP…
These lectures introduce key concepts in probability and statistical inference at a level suitable for graduate students in particle physics. Our goal is to paint as vivid a picture as possible of the concepts covered.
A symmetric version of the well-known SPM model for sandpiles is introduced. We prove that the new model has fixed point dynamics. Although there might be several fixed points, a precise description of the fixed points is given. Moreover,…
Statistical Machine Learning (SML) refers to a body of algorithms and methods by which computers are allowed to discover important features of input data sets which are often very large in size. The very task of feature discovery from data…
Pulse shape discriminating scintillator materials in many cases allow the user to identify two basic kinds of pulses arising from two kinds of particles: neutrons and gammas. An uncomplicated solution for building a classifier consists of a…
The presented work addresses two-stage stochastic programs (2SPs), a broadly applicable model to capture optimization problems subject to uncertain parameters with adjustable decision variables. In case the adjustable or second-stage…
It has been 100 years since statistical process control (SPC) or statistical process monitoring (SPM) was first introduced for production processes and later applied to service, healthcare, and other industries. The techniques applied to…
We examine a family of discrete probability distributions that describes the "spillage number" in the extended balls-in-bins model. The spillage number is defined as the number of balls that occupy their bins minus the total number of…
This article evaluates the determinants of two classes of special matrices, which are both from a number theory problem. Applications of the evaluated determinants can be found in [arXiv:math.NT/0509523]. Note that the two determinants are…
New exceptional (i.e. non-repeating) prime number multiplets are given and formulated in terms of arithmetic progressions, along with laws governing them. Accompanying repeating prime number multiplets are pointed out. Prime number…
This is a tract on the art and practice of mathematical writing. Not only does the book cover basic principles of grammar, syntax, and usage, but it takes into account developments of the last twenty years that have been inspired by the…
For over three decades, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a key method for exploring material structures and functionalities at nanometer and often atomic scales in ambient, liquid, and vacuum environments. Historically, SPM…
Discriminative pattern mining is an essential task of data mining. This task aims to discover patterns which occur more frequently in a class than other classes in a class-labeled dataset. This type of patterns is valuable in various…
This is the second in a series of papers intended to provide a basic overview of some of the major ideas in particle physics. Part I [arXiv:0810.3328] was primarily an algebraic exposition of gauge theories. We developed the group theoretic…
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is an umbrella term that includes numerous multivariate statistical techniques that are employed throughout a plethora of research areas, ranging from social to natural sciences. Until recently, SEM…
