A thermodynamic framework for asymptotic inference is developed in which sample size and parameter variance define a state space. Within this description, Shannon information plays the role of entropy, and an integrating factor organizes…

We discuss properties of the "beamsplitter addition" operation, which provides a non-standard scaled convolution of random variables supported on the non-negative integers. We give a simple expression for the action of beamsplitter addition…

Our Recent advancements in stochastic processes have illuminated a paradox associated with the Einstein model of Brownian motion. The model predicts an infinite propagation speed, conflicting with the second law of thermodynamics. The…

We revisit the input perturbations framework for differential privacy where noise is added to the input $A\in \mathcal{S}$ and the result is then projected back to the space of admissible datasets $\mathcal{S}$. Through this framework, we…

We prove a general theorem to bound the total variation distance between the distribution of an integer valued random variable of interest and an appropriate discretized normal distribution. We apply the theorem to 2-runs in a sequence of…

We generalize aspects of Fourier Analysis from intervals on $\mathbb{R}$ to bounded and measurable subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In doing so, we obtain a few interesting results. The first is a new proof of the famous Integral Cauchy-Schwarz…

We revisit two popular convolutional neural networks (CNN) in person re-identification (re-ID), i.e, verification and classification models. The two models have their respective advantages and limitations due to different loss functions. In…

We give a new proof of Chan's identity involving the cubic partition function and we also give a new identity for the cubic partition function which is analogues to the Zuckerman's identity for the ordinary partition function.

If P is a differential operator with constant coefficients, an identity is derived to calculate the action of exp(P) on the product of two functions. In many-body theory, P describes the interaction Hamiltonian and the identity yields a…

We show that the previously introduced concept of distance on statistical spaces leads to a straightforward definition of differential entropy on these statistical spaces. These spaces are characterized by the fact that their points can…

Denoising and score estimation have long been known to be linked via the classical Tweedie's formula. In this work, we first extend the latter to a wider range of distributions often called "energy models" and denoted elliptical…

The original Beck conjecture, now a theorem due to Andrews, states that the difference in the number of parts in all partitions into odd parts and the number of parts in all strict partitions is equal to the number of partitions whose set…

We obtain a Stein characterisation of the distribution of the product of two correlated normal random variables with non-zero means, and more generally the distribution of the sum of independent copies of such random variables. Our Stein…

From the distributional characterizations that lie at the heart of Stein's method we derive explicit formulae for the mass functions of discrete probability laws that identify those distributions. These identities are applied to develop…

We consider the statistical experiment given by a sample of a stationary Gaussian process with an unknown smooth spectral density f. Asymptotic equivalence, in the sense of Le Cam's deficiency Delta-distance, to two Gaussian experiments…

When two independent analog signals, X and Y are added together giving Z=X+Y, the entropy of Z, H(Z), is not a simple function of the entropies H(X) and H(Y), but rather depends on the details of X and Y's distributions. Nevertheless, the…

This note shows how to apply the James-Stein estimator to the case of entropic uncertainty relations of more than two observables. A better result is found compared to applying the ordinary estimator and we find a more optimal model…

Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be the classical Wiener space, assume that $U_\la=I_W+u_\la$ is an adapted perturbation of identity where the perturbation $u_\la$ is an $H$-valued map, defined up to $\mu$-equivalence classes, such that its Lebesgue density…

``Einstein from noise" (EfN) is a prominent example of the model bias phenomenon: systematic errors in the statistical model that lead to spurious but consistent estimates. In the EfN experiment, one falsely believes that a set of…

We review with a tutorial scope the information theory foundations of quantum statistical physics. Only a small proportion of the variables that characterize a system at the microscopic scale can be controlled, for both practical and…
