This note has several aims. Firstly, it portrays a non-standard analysis as a functor, namely a functor * that maps any set A to the set *A of its non-standard elements. That functor, from the category of sets to itself, is postulated to be…

Approximating functions by a linear span of truncated basis sets is a standard procedure for the numerical solution of differential and integral equations. Commonly used concepts of approximation methods are well-posed and convergent, by…

In the rapidly growing literature on explanation algorithms, it often remains unclear what precisely these algorithms are for and how they should be used. In this position paper, we argue for a novel and pragmatic perspective: Explainable…

The aim of this paper is to highlight a hitherto unknown computational aspect of Nonstandard Analysis. Recently, a number of nonstandard versions of Goedel's system T have been introduced ([2,9,12]), and it was shown in [26] that the…

Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…

The goal of this paper is to show that there exists a simple, yet universal statistical logic of spectral graph analysis by recasting it into a nonparametric function estimation problem. The prescribed viewpoint appears to be good enough to…

Traditional statistical inference considers relatively small data sets and the corresponding theoretical analysis focuses on the asymptotic behavior of a statistical estimator when the number of samples approaches infinity. However, many…

The assumption of normality in data has been considered in the field of statistical analysis for a long time. However, in many practical situations, this assumption is clearly unrealistic. It has recently been suggested that the use of…

Many fluctuating systems consist of macroscopic structures in addition to noisy signals. Thus, for this class of fluctuating systems, the scaling behaviors are very complicated. Such phenomena are quite commonly observed in Nature, ranging…
