Elkies and McMullen [Duke Math.J.~123 (2004) 95--139] have shown that the gaps between the fractional parts of \sqrt n for n=1,\ldots,N, have a limit distribution as N tends to infinity. The limit distribution is non-standard and differs…
Given two high-dimensional Gaussians with the same mean, we prove a lower and an upper bound for their total variation distance, which are within a constant factor of one another.
We study stochastic optimization problems with objective function given by the expectation of the maximum of two linear functions defined on the component random variables of a multivariate Gaussian distribution. We consider random…
Let $(\xi_i)_{i=1,...,n}$ be a sequence of independent and symmetric random variables. We consider the upper bounds on tail probabilities of self-normalized deviations $$ \mathbf{P} \Big( \max_{1\leq k \leq n} \sum_{i=1}^{k} |\xi_i|\big/…
The maximal (or Hilbertian) correlation coefficient between two random variables X and Y, denoted by \{X:Y\}, is the supremum of the |Corr(f(X),g(Y))| for real measurable functions f, g, where "Corr" denotes Pearson's correlation…
Finite-width fully connected neural networks with Gaussian-initialized weights deviate from their infinite-width Gaussian limit, exhibiting non-vanishing higher-order cumulants. We approximate these deviations, for a neural network…
We show that every symmetric random variable with log-concave tails satisfies the convex infimum convolution inequality with an optimal cost function (up to scaling). As a result, we obtain nearly optimal comparison of weak and strong…
The four-time correlation function of a general dynamical variable obeying Gaussian statistics is calculated for the trap model with a Gaussian density of states. It is argued that for energy-independent variables this function is…
Consider the Gaussian sequence model under the additional assumption that a fixed fraction of the means is known. We study the problem of variance estimation from a frequentist Bayesian perspective. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)…
We revisit a result of Mittal--Ylvisaker that states that the rescaled maximum of a stationary sequence of Gaussian random variables has a Gaussian limit if correlations decay sufficiently slowly. Taking a new approach we relax the…
Extremization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy under appropriate norm and width constraints yields the Gaussian distribution. Also, the basic solutions of the standard Fokker-Planck (FP) equation (related to the Langevin equation with…
In Gaussian graphical models, the likelihood equations must typically be solved iteratively. We investigate two algorithms: A version of iterative proportional scaling which avoids inversion of large matrices, and an algorithm based on…
Gaussian universality results assert that the properties of many estimators remain unchanged when the input data are replaced by Gaussians. Such results have gained popularity in high-dimensional statistics and machine learning, as…
In this note, we claim that diagonal scaling of a sample covariance matrix is asymptotically inconsistent if the ratio of the dimension to the sample size converges to a positive constant, where population is assumed to be Gaussian with a…
We study the spectral properties of a stochastic process obtained by multiplicative inversion of a non-zero-mean Gaussian process. We show that its autocorrelation and power spectrum exist for most regular processes, and we find a…
Suppose X is a random vector, that is distributed uniformly in some n-dimensional convex set. It was conjectured that when the dimension n is very large, there exists a non-zero vector u, such that the distribution of the real random…
We establish the convergence of the densities of a sequence of nonlinear functionals of an underlying Gaussian process to the density of a Gamma distribution. The key idea of our work is a new density formula for random variables in the…
One possible way to investigate the nature of the primordial power spectrum fluctuations is by investigating the statistical properties of the local maximum in the density fluctuation fields. In this work we present a study of the mean…
Most existing methods for testing equality of means of functional data from multiple populations rely on assumptions of equal covariance and/or Gaussianity. In this work we provide a new testing method based on a statistic that is…
A class of examples concerning the relationship of linear regression and maximal correlation is provided. More precisely, these examples show that if two random variables have (strictly) linear regression on each other, then their maximal…
