A convenient framework for dealing with asymptotic limit problems of probabilistic nature is provided. These problems include questions such as finding the asymptotic proportion of terms of a sequence falling inside a given interval, or the…
The classical asymptotic equipartition property is the statement that, in the limit of a large number of identical repetitions of a random experiment, the output sequence is virtually certain to come from the typical set, each member of…
We consider continuous relational structures with finite domain $[n] := \{1, \ldots, n\}$ and a many valued logic, $CLA$, with values in the unit interval and which uses continuous connectives and continuous aggregation functions. $CLA$…
We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…
In statistical inference, confidence set procedures are typically evaluated based on their validity and width properties. Even when procedures achieve rate-optimal widths, confidence sets can still be excessively wide in practice due to…
A Markov logic network (MLN) $\mathbb{M}$ determines a probability distribution $\mathbb{P}_n^\mathbb{M}$ on the set $\mathbf{W}_n$ of structures, or ``possible worlds'', with domain $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. We study the properties of such…
Let $\alpha_n(\cdot)=P\bigl(X_{n+1}\in\cdot\mid X_1,\ldots,X_n\bigr)$ be the predictive distributions of a sequence $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$ of $p$-dimensional random vectors. Suppose $$\alpha_n= \mathcal{N} _p (M_n,Q_n)$$ where…
We present a practical framework to prove, in a simple way, two-terms asymptotic expansions for Fourier integrals $$ {\mathcal I}(t) = \int_{\mathbb R}({\rm e}^{it\phi(x)}-1) {\rm d} \mu(x) $$ where $\mu$ is a probability measure on…
Probabilistic logic programming is a major part of statistical relational artificial intelligence, where approaches from logic and probability are brought together to reason about and learn from relational domains in a setting of…
We study approximate equivalence relations up to commensurability, in the presence of a definable measure. As a basic framework, we give a presentation of probability logic based on continuous logic. Hoover's normal form is valid here; if…
We investigate the asymptotic densities of theorems provable in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ZF and its extension ZFC including the axiom of choice. Assuming a canonical De Bruijn representation of formulae, we construct asymptotically large…
We investigate the nonparametric, composite hypothesis testing problem for arbitrary unknown distributions in the asymptotic regime where both the sample size and the number of hypotheses grow exponentially large. Such asymptotic analysis…
A deterministic sequence of real numbers in the unit interval is called \emph{equidistributed} if its empirical distribution converges to the uniform distribution. Furthermore, the limit distribution of the pair correlation statistics of a…
The use of standard statistical methods, such as maximum likelihood, is often justified based on their asymptotic properties. For suitably regular models, this theory is standard but, when the model is non-regular, e.g., the support depends…
The asymptotic equipartition property (AEP) states that in the limit of a large number of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random experiments, the output sequence is virtually certain to come from the typical set, each…
We introduce a unified framework for studying persistence phenomena in commutative algebra via filtrations of ideals. For a filtration $\mathcal{F} = \{I_i\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$, we define $\mathcal{F}$-persistence and $\mathcal{F}$-strong…
Given an integral indefinite binary Hermitian form f over an imaginary quadratic number field, we give a precise asymptotic equivalent to the number of nonequivalent representations, satisfying some congruence properties, of the rational…
Normal forms for wide classes of closed IL formulas were given in [4]. Here we quantify asymptotically, in exact numbers, how wide those classes are. As a consequence, we show that the "majority" of closed IL formulas have GL-equivalents,…
Association models for a pair of random elements $X$ and $Y$ (e.g., vectors) are considered which specify the odds ratio function up to an unknown parameter $\bolds\theta$. These models are shown to be semiparametric in the sense that they…
Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP), exemplified by Sato and Kameya's PRISM, Poole's ICL, Raedt et al's ProbLog and Vennekens et al's LPAD, is aimed at combining statistical and logical knowledge representation and inference. A key…
