An Unbiased Method of Measuring the Ratio of Two Data Sets

In certain cases of astronomical data analysis, the meaningful physical quantity to extract is the ratio R between two data sets. Examples include the lensing ratio, the interloper rate in spectroscopic redshift samples, and the decay rate of gravitational ...

Perturbation theory models for LSST-era galaxy clustering: Tests with subpercent mock catalog measurements in Fourier and configuration space

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We analyze the clustering of galaxies using the z = 1.006 snapshot of the CosmoDC2 simulation, a high-fidelity synthetic galaxy catalog designed to validate analysis methods for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We prese ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey: pairwise-inverse probability and angular correction for fibre collisions in clustering measurements

Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

The completed extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) catalogues contain redshifts of 344 080 quasars at 0.8 < z < 2.2, 174 816 luminous red galaxies between 0.6 < z < 1.0, and 173 736 emission-line galaxies over 0.6 < z < 1.1 in order to ...

Adaptive Design of Experiments for Conservative Estimation of Excursion Sets

We consider the problem of estimating the set of all inputs that leads a system to some particular behavior. The system is modeled by an expensive-to-evaluate function, such as a computer experiment, and we are interested in its excursion set, that is, the ...

Controlling the bias error of Fokker- Planck methods for rarefied gas dynamics simulations

Mohammadhossein Gorji

Direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) is the most established method for rarefied gas flow simulations. It is valid from continuum to near vacuum, but in cases involving small Knudsen numbers (Kn), it suffers from high computational cost. The Fokker-Planck ...

Learning and Adaptive Data Analysis via Maximal Leakage

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

There has been growing interest in studying connections between generalization error of learning algorithms and information measures. In this work, we generalize a result that employs the maximal leakage, a measure of leakage of information, and explore ho ...

The detection of two-component mixture alternatives : Theory and methods

Daria Rukina

In this thesis, we deal with one of the facets of the statistical detection problem. We study a particular type of alternative, the mixture model. We consider testing where the null hypothesis corresponds to the absence of a signal, represented by some kno ...

Gray-matter-specific MR imaging improves the detection of epileptogenic zones in focal cortical dysplasia: A new sequence called fluid and white matter suppression (FLAWS)

Xin Chen, Tobias Kober, Thomas Yu

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic value and characteristic features of FCD epileptogenic zones using a novel sequence called fluid and white matter suppression (FLAWS). ...

Accelerating equilibrium isotope effect calculations. I. Stochastic thermodynamic integration with respect to mass

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

Accurate path integral Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics calculations of isotope effects have until recently been expensive because of the necessity to reduce three types of errors present in such calculations: statistical errors due to sampling, path inte ...

Improved statistical evaluation of group differences in connectomes by screening-filtering strategy with application to study maturation of brain connections between childhood and adolescence

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Patric Hagmann, Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, David Paul Roger Romascano

Detecting local differences between groups of connectomes is a great challenge in neuroimaging, because the large number of tests that have to be performed and the impact on multiplicity correction. Any available information should be exploited to increase ...

Baryon acoustic oscillations in the Lya forest of BOSS DR11 quasars

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the flux-correlation function of the Ly alpha forest of high-redshift quasars with a statistical significance of five standard deviations. The study uses 137 562 quasars in the redsh ...

A Critical Assessment of Storytelling: Gene Ontology Categories and the Importance of Validating Genomic Scans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Alexandros Stamatakis

In the age of whole-genome population genetics, so-called genomic scan studies often conclude with a long list of putatively selected loci. These lists are then further scrutinized to annotate these regions by gene function, corresponding biological proces ...

Optimal use of conservation and accessibility filters in microRNA target prediction

Jiri Vanicek, Ray Marcel Marin Florez

It is generally accepted that filtering microRNA (miRNA) target predictions by conservation or by accessibility can reduce the false discovery rate. However, these two strategies are usually not exploited in a combined and flexible manner. Here, we introdu ...

Robust Method for Real-time, Continuous, 3D Detection of Obstructed Faces in Indoors Environments

Charles Baur, Sébastien Grange

We address the need for robust detection of obstructed human features in complex environments, with a focus on intelligent surgical UIs. In our setup, real-time detection is used to find features without the help of local (spatial or temporal) information. ...
