Much effort has been put into developing samplers with specific properties, such as producing blue noise, low-discrepancy, lattice or Poisson disk samples. These samplers can be slow if they rely on optimization processes, may rely on a…

We develop a probabilistic method for assessing the tail behavior and geometric stability of one-dimensional n i.i.d. samples by tracking how their span contracts when the most extreme points are trimmed. Central to our approach is the…

It is well known that if the power spectral density of a continuous time stationary stochastic process does not have a compact support, data sampled from that process at any uniform sampling rate leads to biased and inconsistent spectrum…

We study the notion of $\gamma$-negative dependence of random variables. This notion is a relaxation of the notion of negative orthant dependence (which corresponds to $1$-negative dependence), but nevertheless it still ensures…

Monte Carlo sampling techniques are used to estimate high-dimensional integrals that model the physics of light transport in virtual scenes for computer graphics applications. These methods rely on the law of large numbers to estimate…

Analytical relations are derived for the amplitude of astrometric, photometric and radial velocity perturbations caused by a single rotating spot. The relative power of the star spot jitter is estimated and compared with the available data…

In this paper, we develop a class of samplers for the diffusion model using the operator-splitting technique. The linear drift term and the nonlinear score-driven drift of the probability flow ordinary differential equation are split and…

Diffusion models, which convert noise into new data instances by learning to reverse a diffusion process, have become a cornerstone in contemporary generative modeling. In this work, we develop non-asymptotic convergence theory for a…

The maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) is a kernel-based distance between probability distributions useful in many applications (Gretton et al. 2012), bearing a simple estimator with pleasing computational and statistical properties. Being able…

We address the problem of estimating the edge of a bounded set in R^d given a random set of points drawn from the interior. Our method is based on a transformation of estimators dedicated to uniform point processes and obtained by smoothing…

The area of sublinear algorithms have recently received a lot of attention. In this setting, one has to choose specific access model for the input, as the algorithm does not have time to pre-process or even to see the whole input. A…

We consider the problem of finding, for a given quadratic measure of non-uniformity of a set of $N$ points (such as $L_2$ star-discrepancy or diaphony), the asymptotic distribution of this discrepancy for truly random points in the limit…

We study the contact process with stirring on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In this process, particles occupy vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$; each particle dies with rate 1 and generates a new particle at a randomly chosen neighboring vertex with rate…

This paper describes several new algorithms for estimating the parameters of a periodic bandlimited signal from samples corrupted by jitter (timing noise) and additive noise. Both classical (non-random) and Bayesian formulations are…

Following a result of D.~Bylik and M.T.~Lacey from 2008 it is known that there exists an absolute constant $\eta>0$ such that the (unnormalized) $L^{\infty}$-norm of the three-dimensional discrepancy function, i.e, the (unnormalized) star…

Given data drawn from an unknown distribution, $D$, to what extent is it possible to ``amplify'' this dataset and output an even larger set of samples that appear to have been drawn from $D$? We formalize this question as follows: an…

Low discrepancy point sets have been widely used as a tool to approximate continuous objects by discrete ones in numerical processes, for example in numerical integration. Following a century of research on the topic, it is still unclear…

By utilizing the spatially-resolved photometry of galaxies at $0.2<z<3.0$ in the CEERS field, we estimate the resolved and unresolved stellar mass via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to study the discrepancy between them. We…

Recovery procedures in various application in Data Science are based on \emph{stable point separation}. In its simplest form, stable point separation implies that if $f$ is "far away" from $0$, and one is given a random sample…

A point set $P \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ is {\it separated} if the minimum distance between any two points in $P$ is at least $1$. For $d \ne 4,5,$ we determine, for every $t_1,t_2 \ge 1$, and for $n$ at least a suitable $n_d$, the maximum…
