In this work we generalize Polya urn schemes with possibly infinitely many colors and extend the earlier models described in [4, 5, 7]. We provide a novel and unique approach of representing the observed sequence of colors in terms a…
$\ell_1$ optimization is a well known heuristic often employed for solving various forms of sparse linear problems. In this paper we look at its a variant that we refer to as the \emph{partial} $\ell_1$ and discuss its mathematical…
We study Bessel processes on Weyl chambers of types A and B on $\mathbb R^N$. Using elementary symmetric functions, we present several space-time-harmonic functions and thus martingales for these processes $(X_t)_{t\ge0}$ which are…
Scattering moments provide nonparametric models of random processes with stationary increments. They are expected values of random variables computed with a nonexpansive operator, obtained by iteratively applying wavelet transforms and…
This paper is devoted to parameter estimation for partially observed polynomial state space models. This class includes discretely observed affine or more generally polynomial Markov processes. The polynomial structure allows for the…
In this paper we generalize some constructions and results due to Cayley and Hilbert. We define the concept of $\Omega$--process for an arbitrary algebraic monoid with zero and unit group $G$. Then we show how to produce from the process…
In \cite{hZ09}, Zessin constructed the so-called P\'olya sum process via partial integration technique. This process shares some important properties with the Poisson process such as complete randomness and infinite divisibility. This work…
Let $G$ be a bounded open subset of Euclidean space with real algebraic boundary $\Gamma$. Under the assumption that the degree $d$ of $\Gamma$ is given, and the power moments of the Lebesgue measure on $G$ are known up to order $3d$, we…
Higher-order spectra (or polyspectra), defined as the Fourier Transform of a stationary process' autocumulants, are useful in the analysis of nonlinear and non Gaussian processes. Polyspectral means are weighted averages over Fourier…
Self-normalized processes are basic to many probabilistic and statistical studies. They arise naturally in the the study of stochastic integrals, martingale inequalities and limit theorems, likelihood-based methods in hypothesis testing and…
In this article we introduce and study oscillating Gaussian processes defined by $X_t = \alpha_+ Y_t {\bf 1}_{Y_t >0} + \alpha_- Y_t{\bf 1}_{Y_t<0}$, where $\alpha_+,\alpha_->0$ are free parameters and $Y$ is either stationary or…
The framework of spherical transforms and P\'olya ensembles is of utility in deriving structured analytic results for sums and products of random matrices in a unified way. In the present work, we will carry over this framework to study…
The paper investigates the problem of performing correlation analysis when the number of observations is very large. In such a case, it is often necessary to combine the random observations to achieve dimensionality reduction of the…
We introduce a general method to count unlabeled combinatorial structures and to efficiently generate them at random. The approach is based on pointing unlabeled structures in an "unbiased" way that a structure of size n gives rise to n…
A separated sequence $\Lambda$ on the real line is called a Polya sequence if any entire function of zero exponential type bounded on $\Lambda$ is constant. In this paper we solve the problem by Polya and Levinson that asks for a…
Shrinkage of large particles, either through depolymerisation (i.e. progressive shortening) or through fragmentation (breakage into smaller pieces) may be modelled by discrete equations, of Becker-D\''oring type, or by continuous ones. In…
Macdonald processes are probability measures on sequences of partitions defined in terms of nonnegative specializations of the Macdonald symmetric functions and two Macdonald parameters q,t in [0,1). We prove several results about these…
We study a class of stationary Markov processes with marginal distributions identifiable by moments such that every conditional moment of degree say $m$ is a polynomial of degree at most $m\;\text{.}\;$ We show that then under some…
We device a new method to calculate a large number of Mellin moments of single scale quantities using the systems of differential and/or difference equations obtained by integration-by-parts identities between the corresponding Feynman…
We introduce a class of birth-and-death Polya urns, which allow for both sampling and removal of observations governed by an auxiliary inhomogeneous Bernoulli process, and investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the induced allelic…
