Weak values are usually associated with weak measurements of an observable on a pre- and post-selected ensemble. We show that more generally, weak values are proportional to the correlation between two pointers in a successive measurement.…

Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…

Learning from Label Proportions (LLP) is a weakly supervised learning method that aims to perform instance classification from training data consisting of pairs of bags containing multiple instances and the class label proportions within…

We obtain the first results on convergence rates in the Prokhorov metric for the weak invariance principle (functional central limit theorem) for deterministic dynamical systems. Our results hold for uniformly expanding/hyperbolic (Axiom A)…

Three versions of the Weak Law of Large Numbers are proposed for weakly dependent and generally speaking non-equally distributed random variables, with finite or possibly infinite expectations.

For a measurable map $T$ and a sequence of $T$-invariant probability measures $\mu_n$ that converges in some sense to a $T$-invariant probability measure $\mu$, an estimate from below for the Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy of $T$ with respect to…

We propose a general approach to construct weighted likelihood estimating equations with the aim of obtain robust estimates. The weight, attached to each score contribution, is evaluated by comparing the statistical data depth at the model…

We investigate the properties of a sequential Monte Carlo method where the particle weight that appears in the algorithm is estimated by a positive, unbiased estimator. We present broadly-applicable convergence results, including a central…

We introduce a notion of vague convergence for random marked metric measure spaces. Our main result shows that convergence of the moments of order $k \ge 1$ of a random marked metric measure space is sufficient to obtain its vague…

We introduce a weak formulation of the non-parametric prescribed mean curvature equation with measure data and show the existence and several properties of $BV$ solutions under natural assumptions on the prescribed measure. Our approach…

Following Cs\"{o}rg\H{o}, Szyszkowicz and Wang (Ann. Statist. {\bf 34}, (2006), 1013--1044) we consider a long range dependent linear sequence. We prove weak convergence of the uniform Vervaat and the uniform Vervaat error processes,…

In this note, we demonstrate the convergence of the Demailly approximation of a general (weakly) upper semi-continuous weight.

We provide sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of an invariant measure of a Markov process as well as for the weak convergence of transition probabilities to the invariant measure. Our conditions are formulated in terms of generalized…

Measurements are crucial in quantum mechanics, in fundamental research as well as in applicative fields like quantum metrology, quantum-enhanced measurements and other quantum technologies. In the recent years, weak-interaction-based…

Galaxy peculiar velocities are excellent cosmological probes provided that biases inherent to their measurements are contained before any study. This paper proposes a new algorithm based on an object point process model whose probability…

We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…

The paper provides a new test of convergence and divergence of positive series. In particular, it extends the known test by Margaret Martin [%\emph{Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.} \textbf{47} (6), 452--457 (1941)]. \emph{Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.}…

This study investigates a powerful model, targeted to subjective assessments, based on pairwise comparisons. It provides a proof that a distance-based inconsistency reduction transforms an inconsistent pairwise comparisons (PC) matrix into…

Two data-dependent information metrics are developed to quantify the information of the prior and likelihood functions within a parametric Bayesian model, one of which is closely related to the reference priors from Berger, Bernardo, and…

Distributed consensus in the Wasserstein metric space of probability measures on the real line is introduced in this work. Convergence of each agent's measure to a common measure is proven under a weak network connectivity condition. The…
