The quantum state of a light beam can be represented as an infinite dimensional density matrix or equivalently as a density on the plane called the Wigner function. We describe quantum tomography as an inverse statistical problem in which…

A new potential is presented for spherical galaxies. The technique of the construction of our model is similar to that given by An and Evans. In a special case, its mass density becomes a special one of the Hernquist model. Another special…

Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…
The concepts of spread and spread dimension of a metric space were introduced by Willerton in the context of quantifying biodiversity of ecosystems. This paper develops practical applications of spread dimension in the context of machine…
We consider the problem of estimating curvature where the data can be viewed as a noisy sample from an underlying manifold. For manifolds of dimension greater than one there are multiple definitions of local curvature, each suggesting a…

Testing uniformity on the $p$-dimensional unit sphere is arguably the most fundamental problem in directional statistics. In this paper, we consider this problem in the framework of axial data, that is, under the assumption that the $n$…
We provide upper bounds of the expected Wasserstein distance between a probability measure and its empirical version, generalizing recent results for finite dimensional Euclidean spaces and bounded functional spaces. Such a generalization…

The presented paper is devoted to statistical modeling of Gaussian scalar real random fields inside a three-dimensional sphere (ball). We propose a statistical model describing the spatial heterogeneity in a unit ball and a numerical…

Observations or measurements taken of a quantum system (a small number of fundamental particles) are inherently random. If the state of the system depends on unknown parameters, then the distribution of the outcome depends on these…
