An $(n,k)$-Poisson Multinomial Distribution (PMD) is the distribution of the sum of $n$ independent random vectors supported on the set ${\cal B}_k=\{e_1,\ldots,e_k\}$ of standard basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^k$. We prove a structural…

An $(n, k)$-Poisson Multinomial Distribution (PMD) is a random variable of the form $X = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$, where the $X_i$'s are independent random vectors supported on the set of standard basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^k.$ In this paper, we…

The Poisson multinomial distribution (PMD) describes the distribution of the sum of $n$ independent but non-identically distributed random vectors, in which each random vector is of length $m$ with 0/1 valued elements and only one of its…

We give an algorithm for properly learning Poisson binomial distributions. A Poisson binomial distribution (PBD) of order $n$ is the discrete probability distribution of the sum of $n$ mutually independent Bernoulli random variables. Given…

We establish inequalities for assessing the distance between the distribution of a (possibly multidimensional) functional of a Poisson random measure and that of a Gaussian element. Our bounds only involve add-one cost operators at the…

We show that there is a polynomial-time approximation scheme for computing Nash equilibria in anonymous games with any fixed number of strategies (a very broad and important class of games), extending the two-strategy result of Daskalakis…

A striking result of [Acharya et al. 2017] showed that to estimate symmetric properties of discrete distributions, plugging in the distribution that maximizes the likelihood of observed multiset of frequencies, also known as the profile…

For all $n, \epsilon >0$, we show that the set of Poisson Binomial distributions on $n$ variables admits a proper $\epsilon$-cover in total variation distance of size $n^2+n \cdot (1/\epsilon)^{O(\log^2 (1/\epsilon))}$, which can also be…

We prove a multivariate central limit theorem with explicit error bound on a non-smooth function distance for sums of bounded decomposable $d$-dimensional random vectors. The decomposition structure is similar to that of Barbour, Karo\'nski…

Multivariate count data are commonly encountered through high-throughput sequencing technologies in bioinformatics, text mining, or in sports analytics. Although the Poisson distribution seems a natural fit to these count data, its…

This paper puts forward a new generalized polynomial dimensional decomposition (PDD), referred to as GPDD, comprising hierarchically ordered measure-consistent multivariate orthogonal polynomials in dependent random variables. Unlike the…

Inspired by R. Speicher's multidimensional free central limit theorem and semicircle families, we prove an infinite dimensional compound Poisson limit theorem in free probability, and define infinite dimensional compound free Poisson…

We investigate the complexity of computing approximate Nash equilibria in anonymous games. Our main algorithmic result is the following: For any $n$-player anonymous game with a bounded number of strategies and any constant $\delta>0$, an…

We introduce the problem of simultaneously learning all powers of a Poisson Binomial Distribution (PBD). A PBD of order $n$ is the distribution of a sum of $n$ mutually independent Bernoulli random variables $X_i$, where $\mathbb{E}[X_i] =…

We consider a basic problem in unsupervised learning: learning an unknown \emph{Poisson Binomial Distribution}. A Poisson Binomial Distribution (PBD) over $\{0,1,\dots,n\}$ is the distribution of a sum of $n$ independent Bernoulli random…

Let $\mathbf{Q}=(Q_1,\ldots,Q_n)$ be a random vector drawn from the uniform distribution on the set of all $n!$ permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $\mathbf{Z}=(Z_1,\ldots,Z_n)$, where $Z_j$ is the mean zero variance one random variable…

The dispersion of a point set $P\subset[0,1]^d$ is the volume of the largest box with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, which does not intersect $P$. Here, we show a construction of low-dispersion point sets, which can be deduced from…

We consider the problem of clustering mixtures of mean-separated Gaussians in high dimensions. We are given samples from a mixture of $k$ identity covariance Gaussians, so that the minimum pairwise distance between any two pairs of means is…

A Poisson Binomial distribution over $n$ variables is the distribution of the sum of $n$ independent Bernoullis. We provide a sample near-optimal algorithm for testing whether a distribution $P$ supported on $\{0,...,n\}$ to which we have…

Let $k,d $ be positive integers. We determine a sequence of constants that are asymptotic to the probability that the cluster at the origin in a $d$-dimensional Poisson Boolean model with balls of fixed radius is of order $k$, as the…
