In this note we consider the finite-dimensional parameter estimation problem associated to inverse problems. In such scenarios, one seeks to maximize the marginal likelihood associated to a Bayesian model. This latter model is connected to…

The Central Limit Theorem states that, in the limit of a large number of terms, an appropriately scaled sum of independent random variables yields another random variable whose probability distribution tends to a stable distribution. The…

Mixtures of Gaussian (or normal) distributions arise in a variety of application areas. Many heuristics have been proposed for the task of finding the component Gaussians given samples from the mixture, such as the EM algorithm, a…

We obtain large deviation results for non-uniformly expanding maps with non-flat singularities or criticalities and for partially hyperbolic non-uniformly expanding attracting sets. That is, given a continuous function we consider its space…

Let $\{X(t):t\in[0,\infty)\}$ be a centered Gaussian process with stationary increments and variance function $\sigma^2_X(t)$. We study the exact asymptotics of ${\mathbb{P}}(\sup_{t\in[0,T]}X(t)>u)$ as $u\to\infty$, where $T$ is an…

Asymptotics for Dickman's number theoretic function $\rho(u)$, as $u \rightarrow \infty$, were given de Bruijn and Alladi, and later in sharper form by Hildebrand and Tenenbaum. The perspective in these works is that of analytic number…

An autonomous system of ordinary differential equations describing nonlinear oscillations on the plane is considered. The influence of time-dependent perturbations decaying at infinity in time is investigated. It is assumed that the…

By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…
