Consider a Gaussian stationary sequence with unit variance $X=\{X_k;k\in {\mathbb{N}}\cup\{0\}\}$. Assume that the central limit theorem holds for a weighted sum of the form $V_n=n^{-1/2}\sum^{n-1}_{k=0}f(X_k)$, where $f$ designates a…
We address several questions of Donald Monk related to irredundance and spread of Boolean algebras, gaining both some ZFC knowledge and consistency results. We show in ZFC that irr(B_0 times B_1)= max(irr(B_0),irr(B_1)). We prove…
The problem of convergence of moments of a sequence of random variables to the moments of its asymptotic distribution is important in many applications. These include the determination of the optimal training sample size in the cross…
We propose a distributed method for simultaneous inference for datasets with sample size much larger than the number of covariates, i.e., N >> p, in the generalized linear models framework. When such datasets are too big to be analyzed…
Let $\mathcal{I}$ be a meager ideal on $\mathbf{N}$. We show that if $x$ is a sequence with values in a separable metric space then the set of subsequences [resp. permutations] of $x$ which preserve the set of $\mathcal{I}$-cluster points…
Given an ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers, a real sequence $(x_n)$ is said to be $\mathcal{I}$-statistically convergent to $\ell$ provided that $$ \textstyle \left\{n \in \mathbf{N}: \frac{1}{n}|\{k \le n: x_k \notin U\}| \ge…
This paper proposes Bayesian mosaic, a parallelizable composite posterior, for scalable Bayesian inference on a broad class of multivariate discrete data models. Sampling is embarrassingly parallel since Bayesian mosaic is a multiplication…
A central limit theorem for arrays of symmetric row-wise exchangeable random variables is presented. The result is valid for finite and infinite extendable and non-extendable sequences. Unlike most reported versions of the central limit…
If T is an iteration tree on K and F is a countably certified extender that coheres with the final model of T, then F is on the extender sequence of the final model of T. Several applications of maximality are proved, including: o K…
We show that for $m, r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $N > (2m+1)^r (r!)^{1/m}$, every $r$-coloring of the integers in the interval $[N]$ contains a monochromatic solution to the equation \[ x_1 + \dots + \dots x_{m+1} = y_1 + \dots + y_m. \] This…
We prove the following higher-order Szego theorems: if a measure on the unit circle has absolutely continuous part $w(\theta)$ and Verblunsky coefficients $\alpha$ with square-summable variation, then for any positive integer $m$, $\int…
We investigate the properties of a sequential Monte Carlo method where the particle weight that appears in the algorithm is estimated by a positive, unbiased estimator. We present broadly-applicable convergence results, including a central…
The quantum central limit theorem for bosonic quantum systems states that the sequence of states $\rho^{\boxplus n}$ obtained from the $n$-fold convolution of a centered quantum state $\rho$ converges to a quantum Gaussian state $\rho_G$…
Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…
It is shown that the bona fide generalization of the Vitali-Hahn-Saks Theorem to von Neumann algebras is possible if, and only if, the algebra is finite. This settles the problem on the noncommutative Vitali-Hahn-Saks Theorem completely and…
A theorem of Siebert asserts that if a sequence of semigroups of probability measures on a Lie group G is weakly convergent to a semigroup of the same type, then the corresponding generating functionals are convergent in the weak operator…
We consider the problem of discriminating between states of a specified set with maximum confidence. For a set of linearly independent states unambiguous discrimination is possible if we allow for the possibility of an inconclusive result.…
The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture was firstly introduced by Roe [29] as a unified way to approach both the Baum-Connes conjecture and its coarse counterpart. In this paper, we prove that if an a-T-menable group $\Gamma$ acts…
Bayes' Theorem confers inherent limitations on the accuracy of screening tests as a function of disease prevalence. We have shown in previous work that a testing system can tolerate significant drops in prevalence, up until a certain…
We prove that if $X$ is a paracompact space, $Y$ is a metric space and $f:X\to Y$ is a functionally fragmented map, then (i) $f$ is $\sigma$-discrete and functionally $F_\sigma$-measurable; (ii) $f$ is a Baire-one function, if $Y$ is weak…
