Higher-Order Influence Functions (HOIFs) provide a unified theory for constructing rate-optimal estimators for a large class of low-dimensional (smooth) statistical functionals/parameters (and sometimes even infinite-dimensional functions)…

The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve is a representation of the statistical information discovered in binary classification problems and is a key concept in machine learning and data science. This paper studies the statistical…

Here we developed a new conceptual, stochastic Heterogeneous Opinion-Status model (HOpS model), which is adaptive network model. The HOpS model admits to identify the main attributes of dynamics on networks and to study analytically the…

This review is the updated and enlarged version of a talk delivered by J. S. on the occasion of the 1982 meeting of Nobel laureates at Lindau, and of talks given by B.-G. E. at several West German universities and Max Planck institutes in…

Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are important vital signs for human physical and mental health. Recent research has demonstrated that photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors can infer HR and HRV. However, it is difficult to find…

Revealing the hidden patterns shaping the urban environment is essential to understand its dynamics and to make cities smarter. Recent studies have demonstrated that learning the representations of urban regions can be an effective strategy…

Understanding how urban residents travel between neighborhoods and destinations is critical for transportation planning, mobility management, and public health. By mining historical origin-to-destination flow patterns with spatial,…

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group in the period 2014-2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state-of-the-art of Higgs physics at the LHC, integrating all…

The current Special Issue of The Annals of Statistics contains three invited articles. Javier Rojo discusses Erich's scientific achievements and provides complete lists of his scientific writings and his former Ph.D. students. Willem van…

These notes are based on a series of five lectures given during the summer school ``Interactions between Homotopy Theory and Algebra'' held at the University of Chicago in 2004.

This paper addresses the problem of rank aggregation, which aims to find a consensus ranking among multiple ranking inputs. Traditional rank aggregation methods are deterministic, and can be categorized into explicit and implicit methods…

On the occasion of the Centennial of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Carnegie Observatories held a series of four astrophysics symposia in Pasadena from October 2002 to February 2003. The topics of the symposia were: (1) Coevolution…

These reminiscences are about the "dark ages" of algorithmic information theory in the USSR. After a great interest in this topic in 1960s and the beginning of 1970s the number of people working in this area in the USSR decreased…

Spatial statistics is dominated by spatial autocorrelation (SAC) based Kriging and BHM, and spatial local heterogeneity based hotspots and geographical regression methods, appraised as the first and second laws of Geography (Tobler 1970;…

These lecture notes were written for the course 18.657, High Dimensional Statistics at MIT. They build on a set of notes that was prepared at Princeton University in 2013-14 that was modified (and hopefully improved) over the years.

Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas in 1928 used data from the US manufacturing sector for 1899-1922 to introduce what is known today as the Cobb-Douglas production function that has been widely used in economic theory for decades. We employ the…

To assess the classification accuracy of a continuous diagnostic result, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is commonly used in applications. The partial area under the ROC curve (pAUC) is one of widely accepted summary…

Lecture notes from the Concentrated Graduate Course preceding the Workshop on Hodge Theory in String Theory at the Fields Institute in Toronto, November 11--15, 2013.

This paper addresses the problem of audio scenes classification and contributes to the state of the art by proposing a novel feature. We build this feature by considering histogram of gradients (HOG) of time-frequency representation of an…

The book argues ICT are part of the set of goods and services that determine quality of life, social inequality and the chances for economic development. Therefore understanding the digital divide demands a broader discussion of the place…
