RANDOMIZED JOINT DIAGONALIZATION OF SYMMETRIC

Given a family of nearly commuting symmetric matrices, we consider the task of computing an orthogonal matrix that nearly diagonalizes every matrix in the family. In this paper, we propose and analyze randomized joint diagonalization (RJD) for performing t ...

Seebeck Coefficient of Ionic Conductors from Bayesian Regression Analysis

Paolo Pegolo

We propose a novel approach to evaluating the ionic Seebeck coefficient in electrolytes from relatively short equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, based on the Green-Kubo theory of linear response and Bayesian regression analysis. By exploiting the ...

Linear-Covariance Loss for End-to-End Learning of 6D Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Yinlin Hu

Most modern image-based 6D object pose estimation methods learn to predict 2D-3D correspondences, from which the pose can be obtained using a PnP solver. Because of the non-differentiable nature of common PnP solvers, these methods are supervised via the i ...

Validation of semi-analytical, semi-empirical covariance matrices for two-point correlation function for early DESI data

Cheng Zhao

We present an extended validation of semi-analytical, semi-empirical covariance matrices for the two-point correlation function (2PCF) on simulated catalogs representative of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) data collected during the initial 2 months of operat ...

Covariance matrices for variance-suppressed simulations

Cheng Zhao

Cosmological N-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the Universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys, but the growing volume of the Universe mapped by surveys requires correspondingly lower statistica ...

CovNet: Covariance networks for functional data on multidimensional domains

Victor Panaretos, Soham Sarkar

Covariance estimation is ubiquitous in functional data analysis. Yet, the case of functional observations over multidimensional domains introduces computational and statistical challenges, rendering the standard methods effectively inapplicable. To address ...

Data-Driven Predictive Models: Calculational Bias in Characterization of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Ahmed Salaheldin Ahmed Shama

Characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are typically calculated, requiring validation a priori. The validation process relies on the difference between calculations and measurements, namely the bias. Usually, predicting the bias based on benchmark ...

Assessment of representativity of the PETALE experiments for validation of Swiss LWRs ex-core dosimetry calculations

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Hakim Ferroukhi, Dimitri Rochman, Axel Guy Marie Laureau

The international experimental program PETALE will be carried out at the CROCUS research reactor of EPFL. The program aims at measuring neutron penetration in slabs made of materials composing typical LWR reactor pressure vessel. The measurements will be u ...

Inference on the Angular Distribution of Extremes

Claudio Andri Semadeni

The spectral distribution plays a key role in the statistical modelling of multivariate extremes, as it defines the dependence structure of multivariate extreme-value distributions and characterizes the limiting distribution of the relative sizes of the co ...

A Covariance Formula For Topological Events Of Smooth Gaussian Fields

Alejandro Rivera

We derive a covariance formula for the class of 'topological events' of smooth Gaussian fields on manifolds; these are events that depend only on the topology of the level sets of the field, for example, (i) crossing events for level or excursion sets, (ii ...

One simulation to have them all: performance of the Bias Assignment Method against N-body simulations

Cheng Zhao

In this paper, we demonstrate that the information encoded in one single (sufficiently large) N-body simulation can be used to reproduce arbitrary numbers of halo catalogues, using approximated realizations of dark matter density fields with different init ...

Frequency domain theory for functional time series: Variance decomposition and an invariance principle

Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

This paper is concerned with frequency domain theory for functional time series, which are temporally dependent sequences of functions in a Hilbert space. We consider a variance decomposition, which is more suitable for such a data structure than the varia ...

A sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of B-DNA with explicit description of bases and phosphate groups parametrised from large scale Molecular Dynamics simulations

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We introduce a sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded DNA with an explicit description of both the bases and the phosphate groups as interacting rigid-bodies. The model parameters are trained on extensive, state-of-the-art large scale mol ...

Recovering covariance from functional fragments

Victor Panaretos, Marie-Hélène Descary

We consider nonparametric estimation of a covariance function on the unit square, given a sample of discretely observed fragments of functional data. When each sample path is observed only on a subinterval of length , one has no statistical information on ...

A design method for distributed luenberger observers

Colin Neil Jones, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

The paper addresses the problem of designing distributed observers for discrete linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with distributed sensor nodes subjected to bounded measurement noise. A solution is proposed in terms of a distributed LTI Luenberger observ ...

Contributions to Modelling Extremes of Spatial Data

Linda Frossard

The increasing interest in using statistical extreme value theory to analyse environmental data is mainly driven by the large impact extreme events can have. A difficulty with spatial data is that most existing inference methods for asymptotically justifie ...

Smooth Scan: Statistics-Oblivious Access Paths
