The average result of a weak measurement of some observable $A$ can, under post-selection of the measured quantum system, exceed the largest eigenvalue of $A$. The nature of weak measurements, as well as the presence of post-selection and…
We give a principled method for decomposing the predictive uncertainty of a model into aleatoric and epistemic components with explicit semantics relating them to the real-world data distribution. While many works in the literature have…
With nonignorable nonresponse, an effective method to construct valid estimators of population parameters is to use a covariate vector called instrument that can be excluded from the nonresponse propensity but are still useful covariate…
In this expository paper aimed at a general mathematical audience, we discuss how to combine certain classic theorems of set-theoretic inner model theory and effective descriptive set theory with work on Hilbert's tenth problem and…
A method is presented to tackle the sign problem in the simulations of systems having indefinite or complex-valued measures. In general, this new approach is shown to yield statistical errors smaller than the crude Monte Carlo using…
We consider a Markov control model in discrete time with countable both state space and action space. Using the value function of a suitable long-run average reward problem, we study various reachability/controllability problems. First, we…
We develop the theory of cofinal types of ultrafilters over measurable cardinals and establish its connections to Galvin's property. We generalize fundamental results from the countable to the uncountable, but often in surprisingly…
As the use of complex machine learning models continues to grow, so does the need for reliable explainability methods. One of the most popular methods for model explainability is based on Shapley values. There are two most commonly used…
We generically construct a model in which the ${\Pi^1_3}$-uniformization property is true, thus lowering the best known consistency strength from the existence of $M_1^{\#}$ to just $\mathsf{ZFC}$. The forcing construction can be adapted to…
We demonstrate in this paper that the probabilities for sequential measurements have features very different from those of single-time measurements. First, they cannot be modelled by a classical stochastic process. Second, they are…
Robust inference for stochastic dynamical systems is often hampered by sparse sampling and the absence of closed-form likelihoods. We introduce a Monte Carlo path-inference framework that leverages full-path statistics and bridge processes…
Let $(X, \mfA,P)$, $(Y, \mfB,Q)$ be two arbitrary probability spaces and $\P:=\{(\mfA,P_y):y\in{Y}\}$ be a regular conditional probability on $\mfA$ with respect to $Q$. Denote by $R$ the skew product of $P$ and $Q$ determined by…
J.L. Krivine developed a new method based on realizability to construct models of set theory where the axiom of choice fails. We attempt to recreate his results in classical settings, i.e. symmetric extensions. We also provide a new…
A key task in Bayesian statistics is sampling from distributions that are only specified up to a partition function (i.e., constant of proportionality). However, without any assumptions, sampling (even approximately) can be #P-hard, and few…
A sofic measure is the image of a Markov probability measure by a continuous morphism, and can be represented by means of products of matrices $A_n$ that belong to a finite set of nonnegative matrices. To prove that the multifractal…
We analyse the Boolean-valued random forcing $B_{M,\Omega}$ in bounded arithmetics developed in Krajicek (Forcing with random variables and proof complexity, vol. 382, Cambridge University Press, 2011) from the perspective of the forcing in…
We study the influence of the existence of large cardinals on the existence of wellorderings of power sets of infinite cardinals $\kappa$ with the property that the collection of all initial segments of the wellordering is definable by a…
Causal Modeling Semantics (CMS, e.g., Galles and Pearl 1998; Pearl 2000; Halpern 2000) is a powerful framework for evaluating counterfactuals whose antecedent is a conjunction of atomic formulas. We extend CMS to an evaluation of the…
The classical approach to multivariate extreme value modelling assumes that the joint distribution belongs to a multivariate domain of attraction. This requires each marginal distribution be individually attracted to a univariate extreme…
We introduce a new approach to modeling uncertainty based on plausibility measures. This approach is easily seen to generalize other approaches to modeling uncertainty, such as probability measures, belief functions, and possibility…
