Deriving Major Ion Concentrations at High Resolution from Continuous Electrical Conductivity Measurements in Karst Systems

Time series of hydrochemical parameters support the investigation of dominant karst hydrological processes and conceptual model structures. Nevertheless, high costs for sample collection and analyses cause hydrochemical data to be rarely available at a suf ...

Bridging the gap between model-driven and data-driven methods in the era of Big Data

Gael Lederrey

Data-driven and model-driven methodologies can be regarded as competitive fields since they tackle similar problems such as prediction. However, these two fields can learn from each other to improve themselves. Indeed, data-driven methodologies have been d ...

Interlaboratory Test Program to Determine the Precision of the R3 Test Method (ASTM C1897-20) for Measuring Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Diana Londoño Zuluaga

The substitution of portland clinker by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is one of the main avenues for the further decarbonization of cement production. To secure future SCM supplies, generic and performance-related test methods for SCMs are re ...

Testing For The Rank Of A Covariance Operator

Victor Panaretos

How can we discern whether the covariance operator of a stochastic pro-cess is of reduced rank, and if so, what its precise rank is? And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional dat ...

Locally Differentially-Private Randomized Response for Discrete Distribution Learning

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore

We consider a setup in which confidential i.i.d. samples X1, . . . , Xn from an unknown finite-support distribution p are passed through n copies of a discrete privatization chan- nel (a.k.a. mechanism) producing outputs Y1, . . . , Yn. The channel law gua ...

A statistical approach for the automatic identification of the start of the chain of events leading to the disruptions at JET

Alessandro Pau

This paper reports an algorithm to automatically identify the chain of events leading to a disruption, evaluating the so-called reference warning time. This time separates the plasma current flat-top of each disrupted discharge into two parts: a non-disrup ...

Tests of mutual independence among several random vectors using univariate and multivariate ranks of nearest neighbours

Soham Sarkar

Testing mutual independence among several random vectors of arbitrary dimensions is a challenging problem in Statistics, and it has gained considerable interest in recent years. In this article, we propose some nonparametric tests based on different notion ...

On some graph-based two-sample tests for high dimension, low sample size data

Soham Sarkar

Testing for equality of two high-dimensional distributions is a challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size is small. Over the last few decades, several graph-based two-sample tests have been proposed in the literature, ...

Two-Tier Mapper, an unbiased topology-based clustering method for enhanced global gene expression analysis

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Cathrin Brisken, Jacques Rougemont, Rachel Marcone

Motivation: Unbiased clustering methods are needed to analyze growing numbers of complex data sets. Currently available clustering methods often depend on parameters that are set by the user, they lack stability, and are not applicable to small data sets. ...

Local Theory of the Insulating State

Antimo Marrazzo

An insulator differs from a metal because of a different organization of the electrons in their ground state. In recent years this feature has been probed by means of a geometrical property, the quantum metric tensor, which addresses the system as a whole, ...

Pretherapeutic resting-state fMRI profiles are associated with MR signature volumes after stereotactic radiosurgical thalamotomy for essential tremor

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elena Najdenovska, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Constantin Tuleasca, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

OBJECTIVE Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. Drug-resistant ET can benefit from standard stereotactic deep brain stimulation or radiofrequency thalamotomy or, alternatively, minimally invasive techniques, including stereotactic rad ...

Development of topological tools for the analysis of biological data

Rachel Marcone

There is a growing need for unbiased clustering algorithms, ideally automated to analyze complex data sets. Topological data analysis (TDA) has been used to approach this problem. This recent field of mathematics discerns characteristic features of a space ...

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 ...

Lower Bounds on Active Learning for Graphical Model Selection

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

We consider the problem of estimating the underlying graph associated with a Markov random field, with the added twist that the decoding algorithm can iteratively choose which subsets of nodes to sample based on the previous samples, resulting in an active ...
