We consider an initial- and boundary- value problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in the one space dimension case. We discretize the problem in space by a central finite difference…

Logistic regression is used thousands of times a day to fit data, predict future outcomes, and assess the statistical significance of explanatory variables. When used for the purpose of statistical inference, logistic models produce…

We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…

For an ergodic Brownian diffusion with invariant measure $\nu$, we consider a sequence of empirical distributions ($\nu$n) n$\ge$1 associated with an approximation scheme with decreasing time step ($\gamma$n) n$\ge$1 along an adapted…

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a non-central $\chi^2$-distributed random variable (RV) is often used when measuring the outage probability of communication systems. For adaptive transmitters, it is important but…

Normal mixture distributions are arguably the most important mixture models, and also the most technically challenging. The likelihood function of the normal mixture model is unbounded based on a set of random samples, unless an artificial…

We consider the classical problem of learning, with arbitrary accuracy, the natural parameters of a $k$-parameter truncated \textit{minimal} exponential family from i.i.d. samples in a computationally and statistically efficient manner. We…

In a recent paper, Gaunt 2020 extended Stein's method to limit distributions that can be represented as a function $g:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ of a centered multivariate normal random vector $\Sigma^{1/2}\mathbf{Z}$ with…

We introduce a refinement-based Christoffel sampling (RCS) algorithm for least squares approximation in the span of a given, generally non-orthogonal set of functions $\Phi_n = \{\phi_1, \dots, \phi_n\}$. A standard sampling strategy for…

We establish local existence and a quasi-optimal error estimate for piecewise cubic minimizers to the bending energy under a discretized inextensibility constraint. In previous research a discretization is used where the inextensibility…

In this note we present a new special function that behaves like the error function and we provide an approximated accurate closed form for its CDF in terms of both Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and the error function. Also, we…

We consider learning methods based on the regularization of a convex empirical risk by a squared Hilbertian norm, a setting that includes linear predictors and non-linear predictors through positive-definite kernels. In order to go beyond…

This paper is devoted to the problem of determining the concentration bounds that are achievable in non-parametric regression. We consider the setting where features are supported on a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the regression…

Peng (2006) initiated a new kind of central limit theorem under sub-linear expectations. Song (2017) gave an estimate of the rate of convergence of Peng's central limit theorem. Based on these results, we establish a new kind of almost sure…

This work develops algorithms for non-parametric confidence regions for samples from a univariate distribution whose support is a discrete mesh bounded on the left. We generalize the theory of Learned-Miller to preorders over the sample…

In this paper we obtain an approximation for the multivariate Laplace's integral with a large parameter and estimate error term for two cases, when the maximum of the exponent is in the interior of the domain and on the boundary. We are…

We study the binomial channel and the structure of its capacity-achieving input and output distributions. It is known that the capacity-achieving input distribution is discrete and supported on finitely many points. The best previously…

Multi-layer feedforward networks have been used to approximate a wide range of nonlinear functions. An important and fundamental problem is to understand the learnability of a network model through its statistical risk, or the expected…

We derive an (almost) guaranteed upper bound on the error of deep neural networks under distribution shift using unlabeled test data. Prior methods either give bounds that are vacuous in practice or give estimates that are accurate on…

We give a new proof of the classical Central Limit Theorem, in the Mallows ($L^r$-Wasserstein) distance. Our proof is elementary in the sense that it does not require complex analysis, but rather makes use of a simple subadditive inequality…
