https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorte%20Olesen | Dorte Marianne Olesen (born 1948) is a Danish mathematician. In 1988 at Roskilde University, she became the first Danish woman to be appointed a full professor of mathematics. She has also played a leading role in the development of education and research networks, both in Denmark and at the European level.
Early life, education, and family
Born on 8 January 1948 in Hillerød, she was the daughter of the medical specialist and academic Knud Henning Olesen (1920–2007) and the physician Irene Mariane Pedersen (1919–2004). After matriculating from Sortedam Gymnasium in Copenhagen, following in her parents¨footsteps she began to read medicine at Copenhagen University, hoping to become a biophysicist. As this was not possible, she studied mathematics instead, graduating in 1973 and receiving the university's gold medal for a dissertation on operator algebra. She went on to Odense University where she received a Lic.Scient (equivalent to a PhD) in mathematics in 1975.
She also went on study trips to Philadelphia (1971–72), Marseille (1974 & 1979) and Berkeley (1984–85).
When she was 23, Olesen married one of her teachers at Copenhagen University, Gert Kjærgaard Pedersen (1940–2004), who became a prominent mathematics professor. Together they had three children, Just (born 1976), Oluf (1980) and Cecilie (1984).
Career
Olesen returned to Copenhagen University as a senior scholar in 1975, becoming a lecturer at the university's mathematical institute in 1980. In 1988, she was appointed Professor of Mathematics at Roskilde University, the first Danish woman to become a full professor in the field.
In 1989, she was appointed executive director of UNI-C, a Danish government department devoted to promoting the use of information technology in research and education. She managed the development of UNI-C until 2011, establishing the Danish NREN research network, developing computer services and experimenting with online support for education. In parallel, she also promoted the use of the internet for education, including its use in elementary schools, and supported the development of e-business for Denmark.
At the European level, in 1992 Olesen became a member of the European Commission's High Performance Computing and Networking Advisory Committee. From 2001 to 2005, she served on the commission's Expert Group on ICT in Education while acting as president of TERENA, the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association, from 2003 to 2009. From 2010 to 2011 she participated in the commission's High Level Expert Group on the Future of GÉANT. In 2013, she was a member of the Expert Group on the Implementation of the ERA Communications. Finally, from 2014 to 2017, she served on the Board of Directors of GÉANT during the merger of DANTE and TERENA.
Awards
In 1992, Olesen was awarded the Order of the Dannebrog and in 2000, was honoured as a Knight of the First Class. She received the Tagea Brandts Rejselegat in 1987.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber%20product%20of%20schemes | In mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the fiber product of schemes is a fundamental construction. It has many interpretations and special cases. For example, the fiber product describes how an algebraic variety over one field determines a variety over a bigger field, or the pullback of a family of varieties, or a fiber of a family of varieties. Base change is a closely related notion.
Definition
The category of schemes is a broad setting for algebraic geometry. A fruitful philosophy (known as Grothendieck's relative point of view) is that much of algebraic geometry should be developed for a morphism of schemes X → Y (called a scheme X over Y), rather than for a single scheme X. For example, rather than simply studying algebraic curves, one can study families of curves over any base scheme Y. Indeed, the two approaches enrich each other.
In particular, a scheme over a commutative ring R means a scheme X together with a morphism X → Spec(R). The older notion of an algebraic variety over a field k is equivalent to a scheme over k with certain properties. (There are different conventions for exactly which schemes should be called "varieties". One standard choice is that a variety over a field k means an integral separated scheme of finite type over k.)
In general, a morphism of schemes X → Y can be imagined as a family of schemes parametrized by the points of Y. Given a morphism from some other scheme Z to Y, there should be a "pullback" family of schemes over Z. This is exactly the fiber product X ×Y Z → Z.
Formally: it is a useful property of the category of schemes that the fiber product always exists. That is, for any morphisms of schemes X → Y and Z → Y, there is a scheme X ×Y Z with morphisms to X and Z, making the diagram
commutative, and which is universal with that property. That is, for any scheme W with morphisms to X and Z whose compositions to Y are equal, there is a unique morphism from W to X ×Y Z that makes the diagram commute. As always with universal properties, this condition determines the scheme X ×Y Z up to a unique isomorphism, if it exists. The proof that fiber products of schemes always do exist reduces the problem to the tensor product of commutative rings (cf. gluing schemes). In particular, when X, Y, and Z are all affine schemes, so X = Spec(A), Y = Spec(B), and Z = Spec(C) for some commutative rings A,B,C, the fiber product is the affine scheme
The morphism X ×Y Z → Z is called the base change or pullback of the morphism X → Y via the morphism Z → Y.
In some cases, the fiber product of schemes has a right adjoint, the restriction of scalars.
Interpretations and special cases
In the category of schemes over a field k, the product X × Y means the fiber product X ×k Y (which is shorthand for the fiber product over Spec(k)). For example, the product of affine spaces Am and An over a field k is the affine space Am+n over k.
For a scheme X over a field k and any field extension E of k, the base change XE |

Covey attended the University of Warwick, where she completed a degree in mathematics and business studies, then the Birkbeck Institute. On graduating, she began working in research for the Engineers and Managers Association, then soon moved to work in the same role at the GMB union. She was also chair of the London Food Commission in 1986/87 and vice-chair of the Wandsworth Community Health Council in 1987/88.
then soon moved to work for the GMB Union. In 1988, she became a national officer for the GMB, and the following year was elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress. From 1992 to 1998, she also served on the National Women's Committee of the Labour Party.
In 1998, Covey moved to become director of the Association of Community Health Councils for England and Wales. At the time, the government planned to abolish community health councils, but the threat was withdrawn until several years later. In 2001, she became Chief Executive of the National Asthma Campaign, then from 2007 held the same post on the Refugee Council. From 2010 to 2012, she also served as a trustee of the Equality and Diversity Forum. During her time with the Refugee Council, its income halved, and Covey left in 2012.
In 2014, Covey became the director of Against Violence and Abuse. That year, she was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise%20McNair | Louise McNair (1869-1956) was a mathematics teacher and the headmistress of Hosmer Hall for girls in St Louis.
Biography
Louise McNair was born in 1869 in St. Louis, the daughter of Charles A. McNair and Louise Donohoe (d. March 10, 1903), of Glasgow, Missouri. Charles A. McNair (1831-1907) was engaged in the iron business in St. Louis; his children were: Elizabeth McNair (1856-1857), Edwin Alonzo McNair (1858-1914), Emma Belle McNair, Louise McNair. The musician McNair Ilgenfritz was Louise McNair's nephew.
McNair was a student of Mary Institute, and after graduating there she taught three years in Hosmer Hall, and then attended Wellesley College, class of 1896. At Wellesley she was schoolmates with Sarah Chamberlin Weed and Elizabeth B. Hardee, who killed themselves in a suicide pact at the Laurens' School, the fashionable boarding school for girls they founded in the Fenway district of Boston.
Returning to school after her course at Wellesley McNair again taught Mathematics at Hosmer until the death of Martha Matthews, when she accepted the position of principal in 1903.
McNair was appointed to be the headmistress of Hosmer Hall where she had previously taught. The school was founded in 1884 by Clara G. Shepard and Martha H. Matthews, and, at a later date, was incorporated under the laws of Missouri. In 1896 Matthews assumed control of the school when it moved to its location at Washington and Pendleton Avenues.
Upon the death of Matthews in 1907, the management was transferred to Louise McNair, who was closely identified with the school. Hosmer Hall was founded a few months after Miss Cuthbert's School closed, which was one of the early schools for young girls.
The aim of Hosmer Hall was to fit girls for the responsibilities and opportunities of later life and to develop the highest type of American womanhood.
Founded at a time when college education for women was in its initial stage, Hosmer Hall laid stress upon fitting its pupils to enter the leading women's colleges. McNair was often asked why should a girl spend time in learning mathematics and Latin in college, studies which they rarely ever put to practical uses. She believed very strongly that those subjects were of value because they gave a fine mental training. McNair believed that school work should be difficult, also that the knowledge gained from mathematics could be obtained in no other way. She believed that a girl could make a better loaf of bread by knowing Latin and mathematics. McNair said that we could start children with was a trained mind then they were prepared for whatever must be done.
She believed that children should, in school, have enough work to keep them busy; that while they were attending school their business was to go to school; that if their spare time were spent, as it was before, in learning the lessons of domestic life she could feel different about engrossing most of their time; but when their spare time was spent in going downtown to matinees a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow%20Run%20%28Cooks%20Creek%20tributary%29 | Hollow Run is a tributary of Cooks Creek which is located in Durham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
Statistics
Hollow Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System of the U.S. Geological Survey on 30 August 1990 as identification number 1196191. It is contained wholly within Durham Township.
It rises at an elevation of and meets its confluence with Cooks Creek at an elevation of . The length of the stream is , and has an average slope of 190 feet per mile (35.9 meters per kilometer).
Course
Hollow Run rises on the eastern slope of Buckwampum Hill oriented north for a short distance. It then turns to the northeast then curves back around to the north. At river mile 1.43 it receives a tributary from the left and abruptly turns again to the northeast.
At river mile 1.25 it passes through a pond or dammed reservoir. Shortly after it leaves the pond, it picks up a tributary from the right at river mile 1.05, then flows generally north to its confluence at Cooks Creek's 2.42 river mile.
Geology
Buckwampum Hill is part of the Quartz Fanglomerate formation, from the Jurassic and Triassic, which is a coarse conglomerate of rounded cobbles and boulders. Mineralogy consists of quartzite, sandstone, quartz, and metarhyolite in red sand.
As Hollow Run flows northward, it then runs into a Hornblende and Gneiss formation, from the Precambrian, which also consists of labradorite.
As it approaches Cooks Creek it flows into the Hardyston Formation, from the Cambrian period, consisting of quartzite and feldpathic sandstone and has some quartz pebble conglomerate and is somewhat porous and limonitic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%20A.%20Schweitzer | Paul Alexander Schweitzer SJ (born July 21, 1937) is an American mathematician specializing in differential topology, geometric topology, and algebraic topology.
Schweitzer has done research on foliations, knot theory, and 3-manifolds. In 1974 he found a counterexample to the Seifert conjecture that every non-vanishing vector field on the 3-sphere has a closed integral curve. In 1995 he demonstrated that Sergei Novikov's compact leaf theorem cannot be generalized to manifolds with dimension greater than 3. Specifically, Schweitzer proved that a smooth, compact, connected manifold with Euler characteristic zero and dimension > 3 has a C1 codimension-one foliation that has no compact leaf.
Education and career
Schweitzer studied at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in 1958 and then received his Ph.D. in 1962 at Princeton University under Norman Steenrod with thesis Secondary cohomology operations induced by the diagonal mapping.
He received a degree in philosophy (Ph.L.) in 1966 from Weston College in Weston, Massachusetts, and a bachelor's degree in 1970 in theology (B. Div.) from the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was ordained in 1970 as a Catholic priest. In 1963 he became a member of the Jesuits. He became in 1971 a professor extraordinarius and in 1980 a professor ordinarius at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.
Schweitzer has been a visiting professor at the University of Notre Dame, the Fairfield University, Northwestern University, Boston College, Harvard University, and the University of Strasbourg. For the academic years 1970–1971 and 1981–1982 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Since 1978 he has been on the board of the Brazilian Mathematical Society.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012. He was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in 1974 in Vancouver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelis%20de%20Waard | Cornelis de Waard (born 19 August 1879 in Bergen op Zoom, died in Vlissingen on 6 May 1963) was a Dutch mathematics teacher and a historian who specialized in researching science and mathematics of the seventeenth century.
Biography
De Waard studied mathematics and physics in Amsterdam and was then a teacher in The Hague, Winschoten, and from 1909 until retirement in 1944, lived in Vlissingen.
Historical work
de Waard was particularly concerned with mathematicians of the first half of the 17th century such as René Descartes, Pierre de Fermat, Gilles Personne de Roberval, Blaise Pascal, Girard Desargues. He discovered and published several original writings of scholars of the seventeenth century, including 8 volumes of the correspondence Marin Mersenne and the journals of Isaac Beeckman. He assisted Étienne Gilson in the preparation of his edition of Descartes' Discourse on the Method. In his 1906 “De uitvinding der verrekijkers” ("The Discovery of the Telescope"), one of the first modern works on the subject, he put forward evidence that supported Middelburg spectacle-maker Zacharias Janssen as the inventor of the device.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne%20Dold-Samplonius | Yvonne Dold-Samplonius (20 May 1937 – 16 June 2014) was a Dutch mathematician and historian who specialized in the history of Islamic mathematics during the Middle age. She was particularly interested in the mathematical methods used by Islamic architects and builders of the Middle Ages for measurements of volumes and measurements of religious buildings or in the design of muqarnas.
Biography
Born on 20 May 1937 in Haarlem, Yvonne Samplonius obtained her degree in mathematics and Arabic from the University of Amsterdam (Doktoratsexamen) in 1966. Yvonne Dold-Samplonius married in 1965 the German mathematician Albrecht Dold. She studied from 1966 to 1967 at Harvard University under the direction of Professor John E. Murdoch. She obtained in 1977 a PhD for her analysis of the treatise Kitāb al-mafrādāt li Aqāţun (Book of Assumptions of Aqātun) under the supervision of Prof. Evert Marie Bruins and Prof. Juan Vernet.
She came into contact with the work of the Persian mathematician, physicist and astronomer Abū Sahl al-Qūhī, who worked in Baghdad in the 10th century and worked on the geometrical forms of buildings. Through his work, she became interested in the geometrical calculations that helped building many domes of palaces and mosques, called muqarnas, in the Arab world and Persia. She wrote articles on the Islamic mathematicians Jamshīd al-Kāshī and Abu-Abdullah Muhammad ibn Īsa Māhānī in the Dictionary of the Middle Ages and in the Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
In her last years her interest shifted to mathematics in Islamic architecture from an historic point of view. Since 1995, she has been an associate member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) of the University of Heidelberg, with whom she has published several videos on Islamic geometrical art. In 1985, she is visiting professor at the University of Siena. In 2000, she organized with Joseph Dauben the conference "2000 Years of Transmission of Mathematical Ideas". In 2002, she became a Corresponding Member of the International Academy of the History of Sciences and was elected effective member in 2007. She was made honorary citizen of Kashan in Iran in 2000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei%20Stepanov%20%28mathematician%29 | Sergei Aleksandrovich Stepanov (Сергей Александрович Степанов; 24 February 1941) is a Russian mathematician, specializing in number theory. He is known for his 1969 proof using elementary methods of the Riemann hypothesis for zeta-functions of hyperelliptic curves over finite fields, first proved by André Weil in 1940–1941 using sophisticated, deep methods in algebraic geometry.
Stepanov received in 1977 his Russian doctorate (higher doctoral degree) from the Steklov Institute under Dmitry Konstantinovich Faddeev with dissertation (translated title) An elementary method in algebraic number theory. He was from 1987 to 2000 a professor at the Steklov Institute in Moscow. In the 1990s he was also at Bilkent University in Ankara. He is at the Institute for Problems of Information Transmission of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Stepanov is best known for his work in arithmetic algebraic geometry, especially for the Weil conjectures on algebraic curves. He gave in 1969 an "elementary" (i.e. using elementary methods) proof of a result first proved by André Weil using sophisticated methods, not readily understable by mathematicians who are not specialists in algebraic geometry. Wolfgang M. Schmidt extended Stepanov's methods to prove the general result, and Enrico Bombieri succeeded in using the work of Stepanov and Schmidt to give a substantially simplified, elementary proof of the Riemann hypothesis for zeta-functions of curves over finite fields. Stepanov's research also deals with applications of algebraic geometry to coding theory.
He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1974 in Vancouver. He received in 1975 the USSR State Prize. He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.

She earned a B.A. in economics from the University of Ottawa, an MS in economics from the University of British Columbia, and both her law degree and a Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University.
Work
Stodden's work focuses on facilitating the reproducibility of research, specifically in computational sciences. She is the founder of "Reproducible Research Standard" and the website ResearchCompendia.org, which was announced in 2015 to enable public verification of research and methods but went defunct in 2016. In 2020, Stodden proposed a set of guidelines for researchers working in data science, including the role of reproducible research.
Her current focus lies in scientific research incentives, having said: "A big part of the work I am doing concerns the scientific reward structure. For example, my work on the Reproducible Research Standard is an effort to realign the intellectual property rules scientists are subject to, to be closer to our scientific norms."
Board membership
Stodden is a co-chair for the National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee for CyberInfrastructure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte%20Servatius | Brigitte Irma Servatius (born 1954) is a mathematician specializing in matroids and structural rigidity. She is a professor of mathematics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and has been the editor-in-chief of the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal since 1999.
Education and career
Servatius is originally from Graz in Austria.
As a student at an all-girl gymnasium in Graz that specialized in language studies rather than mathematics, her interest in mathematics was sparked by her participation in a national mathematical olympiad,
and she went on to earn master's degrees in mathematics and physics at the University of Graz.
She became a high school mathematics and science teacher in Leibnitz. She moved to the US in 1981, to begin doctoral studies at Syracuse University. She completed her Ph.D. in 1987, and joined the Worcester Polytechnic Institute faculty in the same year. Her dissertation, Planar Rigidity, was supervised by Jack Graver.
Contributions
While still in Austria, Servatius began working on combinatorial group theory, and her first publication (appearing while she was a graduate student) is in that subject.
She switched to the theory of structural rigidity for her doctoral research,
and later became the author (with Jack Graver and Herman Servatius) of the book Combinatorial Rigidity (1993).
Another well-cited paper of hers in this area characterizes the planar Laman graphs, the minimally rigid graphs that can be embedded without crossings in the plane, as the graphs of pseudotriangulations, partitions of a plane region into subregions with three convex corners studied in computational geometry.
Servatius is also the co-editor of a book on matroid theory.
With Tomaž Pisanski she wrote the book Configurations from a Graphical Viewpoint (2013), on configurations of points and lines in the plane with the same number of points touching each two lines and the same number of lines touching each two points. Other topics in her research include graph duality and the triconnected components of infinite graphs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refinement%20%28category%20theory%29 | In category theory and related fields of mathematics, a refinement is a construction that generalizes the operations of "interior enrichment", like bornologification or saturation of a locally convex space. A dual construction is called envelope.
Definition
Suppose is a category, an object in , and and two classes of morphisms in . The definition of a refinement of in the class by means of the class consists of two steps.
A morphism in is called an enrichment of the object in the class of morphisms by means of the class of morphisms , if , and for any morphism from the class there exists a unique morphism in such that .
An enrichment of the object in the class of morphisms by means of the class of morphisms is called a refinement of in by means of , if for any other enrichment (of in by means of ) there is a unique morphism in such that . The object is also called a refinement of in by means of .
Notations:
In a special case when is a class of all morphisms whose ranges belong to a given class of objects in it is convenient to replace with in the notations (and in the terms):
Similarly, if is a class of all morphisms whose ranges belong to a given class of objects in it is convenient to replace with in the notations (and in the terms):
For example, one can speak about a refinement of in the class of objects by means of the class of objects :
Examples
The bornologification of a locally convex space is a refinement of in the category of locally convex spaces by means of the subcategory of normed spaces:
The saturation of a pseudocomplete locally convex space is a refinement in the category of locally convex spaces by means of the subcategory of the Smith spaces:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-marginal%20Metropolis%E2%80%93Hastings%20algorithm | In computational statistics, the pseudo-marginal Metropolis–Hastings algorithm is a Monte Carlo method to sample from a probability distribution. It is an instance of the popular Metropolis–Hastings algorithm that extends its use to cases where the target density is not available analytically. It relies on the fact that the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm can still sample from the correct target distribution if the target density in the acceptance ratio is replaced by an estimate. It is especially popular in Bayesian statistics, where it is applied if the likelihood function is not tractable (see example below).
Algorithm description
The aim is to simulate from some probability density function . The algorithm follows the same steps as the standard Metropolis–Hastings algorithm except that the evaluation of the target density is replaced by a non-negative and unbiased estimate. For comparison, the main steps of a Metropolis–Hastings algorithm are outlined below.
Metropolis–Hastings algorithm
Given a current state the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm proposes a new state according to some density . The algorithm then sets with probability
otherwise the old state is kept, that is, .
Pseudo-marginal Metropolis–Hastings algorithm
If the density is not available analytically the above algorithm cannot be employed. The pseudo-marginal Metropolis–Hastings algorithm in contrast only assumes the existence of an unbiased estimator , i.e. the estimator must satisfy the equation Now, given and the respective estimate the algorithm proposes a new state according to some density . Next, compute an estimate and set with probability
otherwise the old state is kept, that is, .
Application to Bayesian statistics
In Bayesian statistics the target of inference is the posterior distribution
where denotes the likelihood function, is the prior and is the prior predictive distribution.
Since there is often no analytic expression of this quantity, one often relies on Monte Carlo methods to sample from the distribution instead. Monte Carlo methods often need the likelihood to be accessible for every parameter value . In some cases, however, the likelihood does not have an analytic expression. An example of such a case is outlined below.
Example: Latent variable model
Consider a model consisting of i.i.d. latent real-valued random variables with and suppose one can only observe these variables through some additional noise for some conditional density . (This could be due to measurement error, for instance.) We are interested in Bayesian analysis of this model based on some observed data . Therefore, we introduce some prior distribution on the parameter. In order to compute the posterior distribution
we need to find the likelihood function . The likelihood contribution of any observed data point is then
and the joint likelihood of the observed data is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%20Neveu | Jacques Jean-Pierre Neveu (14 November 193217 May 2016) was a Belgian (and then French) mathematician, specializing in probability theory. He is one of the founders of the French school (post WW II) of probability and statistics.
Education and career
Jacques Neveu received in 1955 from the Sorbonne his doctorate in mathematics under Robert Fortet with dissertation Étude des semi-groupes de Markov.
In 1960, Neveu was, with Robert Fortet, one of the first two members of the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires (LPMA). He was the LPMA's director from 1980 until 1989 when Jean Jacod became the director.
In 1962, Neveu was a chargé de cours (university lecturer) at the Collège de France. He taught at the Sorbonne and, after the reorganization of the University of Paris, at the University of Paris VI at the Laboratory for Probability of the . He was a professor at the École Polytechnique. In 1976, he gave a course at l'école d'été de Saint-Flour (a summer school in probability theory sponsored by the University of Clermont Auvergne). He was a visiting professor in Brussels, São Paulo, and Leuven.
From 1969 to 1987, Neveu was the thesis advisor for 19 doctoral students. In 1977 he was the president of the Société mathématique de France. In 1991, he founded the group Modélisation Aléatoire et Statistique (MAS) of the Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (SMAI). In 2012 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
Research
Neveu is one of the founders of the modern theory of probability. His research deals with Markov processes, Markov chains, Gaussian processes, martingales, ergodic theory, random trees (especially Galton-Watson processes and Galton-Watson trees), and Dirac measures, as well as applications of probability theory to statistics, computer science, combinatorics, and statistical physics. In 1986 he introduced the concept of arbre de Galton-Watson (Galton-Watson tree) within the framework of discrete random trees; within the mathematical formalism of Galton-Watson trees, the is named in his honor.
Commemoration
Several mathematicians have paid tribute to Neveu for his influence on the modern theory of probability.
He was outstanding in teaching as well as research. In honor of Neveu, a prize is awarded by the MAS group of the SMAI to the year's best of the new French holders of doctorates in mathematicians or statistics on the basis of the judged quality of the dissertation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwyneth%20Stallard | Gwyneth Mary Stallard is a British mathematician whose research concerns complex dynamics and the iteration of meromorphic functions. She is a professor of pure mathematics at the Open University.
Education and career
Stallard read mathematics at King's College, Cambridge, finishing in 1985,
and earned her Ph.D. from Imperial College London in 1991. Her dissertation, Some problems in the iteration of meromorphic functions, was supervised by Irvine Noel Baker. She has spoken about the difficulty of finding postdoctoral research positions at a time when there were few such positions in England and the ties of her husband's job prevented her from moving abroad; she maintained her mathematical career at this stage by taking a temporary lectureship teaching engineering students at the University of Southampton. When she became a professor of mathematics at the Open University, she became the first woman to be a professor in the department.
Activism and recognition
Stallard won the Whitehead Prize in 2000, and describes this point as the moment when she became confident in her mathematical research abilities.
Stallard was the chair of the Women in Mathematics Committee of the London Mathematical Society from 2006 to 2015, and in 2015 she was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her work in support of women in mathematics.
In 2016 she was given a special award by the Suffrage Science Scheme on Ada Lovelace Day in recognition of her work in this area.
In 2016, the London Mathematical Society selected her as their Mary Cartwright Lecturer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected%20goals | In association football, expected goals (xG) is a performance metric used to evaluate football team and player performance. It can be used to represent the probability of a scoring opportunity that may result in a goal. It is also used in ice hockey.
Metric
Association football
There is some debate about the origin of the term expected goals. Vic Barnett and his colleague Sarah Hilditch referred to "expected goals" in their 1993 paper that investigated the effects of artificial pitch (AP) surfaces on home team performance in association football in England. Their paper included this observation:
Quantitatively we find for the AP group about 0.15 more goals per home match than expected and, allowing for the lower than expected goals against in home matches, an excess goal difference (for home matches) of about 0.31 goals per home match. Over a season this yields about 3 more goals for, an improved goal difference of about 6 goals.
Jake Ensum, Richard Pollard and Samuel Taylor (2004) reported their study of data from 37 matches in the 2002 World Cup in which 930 shots and 93 goals were recorded. Their research sought "to investigate and quantify 12 factors that might affect the success of a shot". Their logistic regression identified five factors that had a significant effect on determining the success of a kicked shot: distance from the goal; angle from the goal; whether or not the player taking the shot was at least 1 m away from the nearest defender; whether or not the shot was immediately preceded by a cross; and the number of outfield players between the shot-taker and goal. They concluded "the calculation of shot probabilities allows a greater depth of analysis of shooting opportunities in comparison to recording only the number of shots". In a subsequent paper (2004), Ensum, Pollard and Taylor combined data from the 1986 and 2002 World Cup competitions to identify three significant factors that determined the success of a kicked shot: distance from the goal; angle from the goal; and whether or not the player taking the shot was at least 1 m away from the nearest defender. More recent studies have identified similar factors as relevant for xG metrics.
Howard Hamilton (2009) proposed "a useful statistic in soccer" that "will ultimately contribute to what I call an 'expected goal value' — for any action on the field in the course of a game, the probability that said action will create a goal".
Sander Itjsma (2011) discussed "a method to assign different value to different chances created during a football match" and in doing so concluded:
we now have a system in place in order to estimate the overall value of the chances created by either team during the match. Knowing how many goals a team is expected to score from its chances is of much more value than just knowing how many attempts to score a goal were made. Other applications of this method of evaluation would be to distinguish a lack of quality attempts created from a finishing probl |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%20and%20L%20spaces | In mathematics, S-space is a regular topological space that is hereditarily separable but is not a Lindelöf space. L-space is a regular topological space that is hereditarily Lindelöf but not separable. A space is separable if it has a countable dense set and hereditarily separable if every subspace is separable.
It had been believed for a long time that S-space problem and L-space problem are dual, i.e. if there is an S-space in some model of set theory then there is an L-space in the same model and vice versa – which is not true.
It was shown in the early 1980s that the existence of S-space is independent of the usual axioms of ZFC. This means that to prove the existence of an S-space or to prove the non-existence of S-space, we need to assume axioms beyond those of ZFC. The L-space problem (whether an L-space can exist without assuming additional set-theoretic assumptions beyond those of ZFC) was not resolved until recently.
Todorcevic proved that under PFA there are no S-spaces. This means that every regular hereditarily separable space is Lindelöf. For some time, it was believed the L-space problem would have a similar solution (that its existence would be independent of ZFC).
Todorcevic showed that there is a model of set theory with Martin's axiom where there is an L-space but there are no S-spaces. Further, Todorcevic found a compact S-space from a Cohen real.
In 2005, Moore solved the L-space problem by constructing an L-space without assuming additional axioms and by combining Todorcevic's rho functions with number theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-stationary%20distribution | In probability a quasi-stationary distribution is a random process that admits one or several absorbing states that are reached almost surely, but is initially distributed such that it can evolve for a long time without reaching it. The most common example is the evolution of a population: the only equilibrium is when there is no one left, but if we model the number of people it is likely to remain stable for a long period of time before it eventually collapses.
Formal definition
We consider a Markov process taking values in . There is a measurable set of absorbing states and . We denote by the hitting time of , also called killing time. We denote by the family of distributions where has original condition . We assume that is almost surely reached, i.e. .
The general definition is: a probability measure on is said to be a quasi-stationary distribution (QSD) if for every measurable set contained in , where .
In particular
General results
Killing time
From the assumptions above we know that the killing time is finite with probability 1. A stronger result than we can derive is that the killing time is exponentially distributed: if is a QSD then there exists such that .
Moreover, for any we get .
Existence of a quasi-stationary distribution
Most of the time the question asked is whether a QSD exists or not in a given framework. From the previous results we can derive a condition necessary to this existence.
Let . A necessary condition for the existence of a QSD is and we have the equality
Moreover, from the previous paragraph, if is a QSD then . As a consequence, if satisfies then there can be no QSD such that because other wise this would lead to the contradiction .
A sufficient condition for a QSD to exist is given considering the transition semigroup of the process before killing. Then, under the conditions that is a compact Hausdorff space and that preserves the set of continuous functions, i.e. , there exists a QSD.
History
The works of Wright on gene frequency in 1931 and of Yaglom on branching processes in 1947 already included the idea of such distributions. The term quasi-stationarity applied to biological systems was then used by Bartlett in 1957, who later coined "quasi-stationary distribution".
Quasi-stationary distributions were also part of the classification of killed processes given by Vere-Jones in 1962 and their definition for finite state Markov chains was done in 1965 by Darroch and Seneta.
Examples
Quasi-stationary distributions can be used to model the following processes:
Evolution of a population by the number of people: the only equilibrium is when there is no one left.
Evolution of a contagious disease in a population by the number of people ill: the only equilibrium is when the disease disappears.
Transmission of a gene: in case of several competing alleles we measure the number of people who have one and the absorbing state is when everybody has the same.

He has regularly taught the MAS of celestial mechanics at the Observatory, a higher education institution which is authorized to issue doctorates.
He left the Observatory in 1976, he devoted half of his activity to the history of ancient astronomy with the multidisciplinary team he had assembled at the Observatory, to translate Latin, Greek and Arabic astronomical texts. In the field of history of astronomy, in addition to scholarly works, he has authored many books for general public, especially for youth. He was a member of Pierre Marchand’s team that helped to create Gallimard Jeunesse. He wrote (1987), a heavily illustrated pocket book for Gallimard’s encyclopaedic collection "Découvertes", which has been translated into fourteen languages, including English. He has published more than 30 books at Gallimard.
In 1991, he collaborated in the astronomical organisation , with Daniel Kunth and Hubert Reeves on a TV show at France 2. The show lasted 4 hours.
In 2016, the Budget Prize of Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres was awarded to Michel-Pierre Lerner, and Jean-Pierre Verdet for their 3-volume critical works of Nicolaus Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.
For this same publication, which is the first critical work of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium that translated into French with commentaries, the Alexandre Koyré Medal 2015 of International Academy of the History of Science was awarded to this team work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concavification | In mathematics, concavification is the process of converting a non-concave function to a concave function. A related concept is convexification – converting a non-convex function to a convex function. It is especially important in economics and mathematical optimization.
Concavification of a quasiconcave function by monotone transformation
An important special case of concavification is where the original function is a quasiconcave function. It is known that:
Every concave function is quasiconcave, but the opposite is not true.
Every monotone transformation of a quasiconcave function is also quasiconcave. For example, if is quasiconcave and is a monotonically-increasing function, then is also quasiconcave.
Therefore, a natural question is: given a quasiconcave function , does there exist a monotonically increasing such that is concave?
Positive and negative examples
As a positive example, consider the function in the domain . This function is quasiconcave, but it is not concave (in fact, it is strictly convex). It can be concavified, for example, using the monotone transformation , since which is concave.
A negative example was shown by Fenchel. His example is: . He proved that this function is quasiconcave, but there is no monotone transformation such that is concave.
Based on these examples, we define a function to be concavifiable if there exists a monotone transformation that makes it concave. The question now becomes: what quasiconcave functions are concavifiable?
Concavifiability
Yakar Kannai treats the question in depth in the context of utility functions, giving sufficient conditions under which continuous convex preferences can be represented by concave utility functions.
His results were later generalized by Connell and Rasmussen, who give necessary and sufficient conditions for concavifiability. They show an example of a function that violates their conditions and thus is not concavifiable. It is . They prove that this function is strictly quasiconcave and its gradient is non-vanishing, but it is not concavifiable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange%20College%20of%20Breda | The Orange College of Breda () was a college of higher learning at Breda in the Dutch Republic in the middle of the 17th century, teaching divinity, philosophy, mathematics, and law.
In English it was sometimes called the Aurangian College, in Dutch , , or , and in French .
History
Breda was the seat in the Netherlands of the House of Orange-Nassau, although the city was several times lost to the Spanish. At the Siege of Breda of 1637 the city was finally recaptured by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, and in 1646 he founded the college, modelling it on Saumur, Geneva, and Oxford, to train young men of good family for the army and the civil service. As its home he provided the Kloosterkazerne, previously a nunnery. Jan van Vliet travelled to Breda, taking his whole family with him, to be present at the inauguration of the college on 16 September 1646. André Rivet, the learned French Huguenot tutor of the future William II of Orange, was the first Rector of the college.
At the time the college was founded, Breda was a town of only about 4,000 inhabitants, not counting the soldiers. Six months after its establishment, the college had fewer than sixty students, and its level and status were still unclear. In the event, it proved to be "a general training-centre for young men of quality, many of whom were to be officers or already held that rank in the Prince's army". However, a high proportion of those taught were French Huguenots and English expatriates.
Christiaan Huygens was admitted in March 1647 to study law, transferring from Leiden, and proved to be the most brilliant of Breda's students. His younger brother Lodewijck Huygens was at the college from 1649 to 1651, when he got into trouble over fighting a duel. Almost immediately he was sent on a diplomatic mission to England. The brothers' father, Constantijn Huygens, was one of the "curators" (or trustees) of the college.
The Englishman John Pell was professor of mathematics at the college from 1646, having been lured away from Amsterdam by Frederick Henry's offer of a salary of one thousand guilders a year. He returned to England shortly before the First Anglo-Dutch War broke out in 1652. Lodewijck Gerarduszoon van Renesse (1599–1671) was professor of divinity, and Franc Plant taught Hebrew.
The number of students increased after 1649, when the future Charles II of England, in exile thanks to the English Civil War, settled at Breda, and the town became a haven for many of the English royalists and their families who had also been forced to flee. In August 1653, Charles's secretary Sir Edward Nicholas asked Mary, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange, to use her influence to get his friend Peter Mews a post at the college as reader in philosophy, but he had a reply from Hyde that the place called for a man "that hath not bene a truant from his bookes".
By the Declaration of Breda of April 1660, Charles II offered terms for a settlement which would restore him to the thrones of Englan |

Life and Work
Vogel was born in Altdorf bei Nürnberg and attended school in Ansbach. From 1907 to 1911, he studied mathematics and physics with Max Noether, Paul Gordan, and Erhard Schmidt in Erlangen, and with Felix Klein, David Hilbert, and Otto Toeplitz in Göttingen. He passed his examination to become a schoolteacher in 1911, then served as an army officer from 1913 to 1920 before taking a teaching post in Munich.
In 1940, Vogel was appointed to a professorship at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where he spent the remainder of his career. He studied a variety of mathematical texts from Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese scholars, such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. Self-taught in several ancient languages, Vogel produced German translations of al-Khwarizmi's On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals (from the Latin translation, Algoritmi de numero Indorum), and the Chinese treatise The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. Vogel officially retired from his post in 1963, but founded and led the university's Institute for the History of Natural Science and Mathematics until 1970.
In 1969 he was awarded the George Sarton Medal for his contributions to the history of science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortrud%20Oellermann | Ortrud R. Oellermann is a South African mathematician specializing in graph theory. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Winnipeg.
Education and career
Oellermann was born in Vryheid.
She earned a bachelor's degree, cum laude honours, and a master's degree at the University of Natal in 1981, 1982, and 1983 respectively,
as a student of Henda Swart.
She completed her Ph.D. in 1986 at Western Michigan University.
Her dissertation was Generalized Connectivity in Graphs and was supervised by Gary Chartrand.
Oellermann taught at the University of Durban-Westville, Western Michigan University, University of Natal, and Brandon University, before moving to Winnipeg in 1996. At Winnipeg, she was co-chair of mathematics and statistics for 2011–2013.
Contributions
With Gary Chartrand, Oellermann is the author of the book Applied and Algorithmic Graph Theory (McGraw Hill, 1993).
She is also the author of well-cited research publications on metric dimension of graphs, on distance-based notions of convex hulls in graphs, and on highly irregular graphs in which every vertex has a neighborhood in which all degrees are distinct. The phrase "highly irregular" was a catchphrase of her co-author Yousef Alavi; because of this, Ronald Graham suggested that there should be a concept of highly irregular graphs, by analogy to the regular graphs, and Oellermann came up with the definition of these graphs.
Recognition
In 1991, Oellermann was the winner of the annual Silver British Association Medal of the Southern Africa Association for the Advancement of Science.
She won the Meiring Naude Medal of the Royal Society of South Africa in 1994.
She was also one of three winners of the Hall Medal of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications in 1994, the first year the medal was awarded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genevieve%20M.%20Knight | Genevieve Madeline Knight (June 18, 1939 – August 19, 2021) was an American mathematics educator.
Education and career
Knight was the youngest of three sisters who all became mathematics and science educators, daughters of a seamstress and a civil service radar specialist. As a freshman at Fort Valley State College in 1957, Knight was studying home economics when the Sputnik launch created a big push for more American students to become educated in mathematics and the sciences. Knight transferred to mathematics, "because it had fewer labs than any of the sciences", and graduated in 1961.
She completed a master's degree in 1963 at Atlanta University, under the supervision of Abdulalim A. Shabazz,
and took a teaching position at the Hampton Institute, also becoming an NSF fellow, a position that allowed her to travel and meet with other college mathematics teachers. In 1966, she returned to graduate school, and completed a doctorate in mathematics education in 1970 at the University of Maryland, College Park under the supervision of Henry H. Walbesser.
Returning from her doctorate, Knight remained at the Hampton Institute, where she became chair of mathematics and computer science. In 1985 she moved to Coppin State College as a full professor. She retired in 2006.
Recognition
In 1980, the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics named Knight as their College Teacher of the Year.
In 1993 she was named Maryland Mathematics Teacher of the Year, and the Mathematical Association of America gave Knight a Distinguished Teaching Award.
In 1996 the University System of Maryland named her as that year's Wilson H. Elkins Distinguished Professor.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics gave her their 1999 lifetime achievement award for her service to mathematics education, outspoken support of equity "regardless of ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background", and distinguished teaching. She was the 2013 Cox–Talbot Lecturer of the National Association of Mathematicians, one of the member societies of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences.
In 2018 the Association for Women in Mathematics named her as one of their inaugural Fellows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert%E2%80%93Schmidt%20zero%E2%80%93one%20law | The Engelbert–Schmidt zero–one law is a theorem that gives a mathematical criterion for an event associated with a continuous, non-decreasing additive functional of Brownian motion to have probability either 0 or 1, without the possibility of an intermediate value. This zero-one law is used in the study of questions of finiteness and asymptotic behavior for stochastic differential equations. (A Wiener process is a mathematical formalization of Brownian motion used in the statement of the theorem.) This 0-1 law, published in 1981, is named after Hans-Jürgen Engelbert and the probabilist Wolfgang Schmidt (not to be confused with the number theorist Wolfgang M. Schmidt).
Engelbert–Schmidt 0–1 law
Let be a σ-algebra and let be an increasing family of sub-σ-algebras of . Let be a Wiener process on the probability space .
Suppose that is a Borel measurable function of the real line into [0,∞].
Then the following three assertions are equivalent:
(i) .
(ii) .
(iii) for all compact subsets of the real line.
Extension to stable processes
In 1997 Pio Andrea Zanzotto proved the following extension of the Engelbert–Schmidt zero-one law. It contains Engelbert and Schmidt's result as a special case, since the Wiener process is a real-valued stable process of index .
Let be a -valued stable process of index on the filtered probability space .
Suppose that is a Borel measurable function.
Then the following three assertions are equivalent:
(i) .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annalisa%20Crannell | Annalisa Crannell is an American mathematician, and an expert in the mathematics of water waves, chaos theory, and geometric perspective. She is a professor of mathematics at Franklin & Marshall College.
Education
Crannell is the daughter of nuclear physicist Hall L. Crannell of the Catholic University of America, and solar physicist Carol Jo Crannell of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. As a high school student, her favorite subject was Spanish, and she was indifferent to mathematics.
She entered Bryn Mawr College intending to continue her language studies, but was inspired to change majors to mathematics by professor Mario Martelli, who noted her talent in a calculus class and encouraged her to take a senior-level class in partial differential equations as a freshman.
She graduated in 1986, with magna cum laude honors, and completed her Ph.D. in 1992 from Brown University, with Walter Craig as her doctoral advisor.
Career
Crannell joined the faculty of Franklin & Marshall College in 1992.
She was the founding Don of Bonchek College House (formerly South Ben College House), serving as don from 2005 to 2010.
She was section governor of the East Pennsylvania Delaware section of the Mathematical Association of America (2014-2016), and was a member of the executive committee of the Association for Women in Mathematics from 2012 to 2015. She has also chaired the Nominating Committee of the American Mathematical Society (2003–2005).
She has been the associate editor of Mathematics Magazine, published by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), for over 15 years.
Contributions
Crannell's dissertation, The Existence of Many Non-Traveling, Periodic Solutions of the Boussinesq Equation, concerned the Boussinesq approximation for water waves.
She is the author or editor of the following books:
Starting Our Careers: A Collection of Essays and Advice on Professional Development from the Young Mathematicians' Network (edited with Curtis D. Bennett, American Mathematical Society, 1999)
Writing Projects for Mathematics Courses: Crushed Clowns, Cars, and Coffee to Go (with Gavin LaRose, Thomas Ratliff, and Elyn Rykken, MAA, 2004)
Viewpoints: Mathematical Perspective and Fractal Geometry in Art (with Marc Frantz, Princeton University Press, 2011)
Perspective and Projective Geometry (with Marc Frantz and Fumiko Futamura, Princeton University Press, 2019)
Her recent research has included studies of perspective in art, such as in the engravings of Albrecht Dürer. One of her techniques for understanding the perspective of artworks is to bring chopsticks to art galleries, which she uses as a convenient tool for finding vanishing points and, from these points, determining the best points to stand when viewing the art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group-scheme%20action | In algebraic geometry, an action of a group scheme is a generalization of a group action to a group scheme. Precisely, given a group S-scheme G, a left action of G on an S-scheme X is an S-morphism
such that
(associativity) , where is the group law,
(unitality) , where is the identity section of G.
A right action of G on X is defined analogously. A scheme equipped with a left or right action of a group scheme G is called a G-scheme. An equivariant morphism between G-schemes is a morphism of schemes that intertwines the respective G-actions.
More generally, one can also consider (at least some special case of) an action of a group functor: viewing G as a functor, an action is given as a natural transformation satisfying the conditions analogous to the above. Alternatively, some authors study group action in the language of a groupoid; a group-scheme action is then an example of a groupoid scheme.
Constructs
The usual constructs for a group action such as orbits generalize to a group-scheme action. Let be a given group-scheme action as above.
Given a T-valued point , the orbit map is given as .
The orbit of x is the image of the orbit map .
The stabilizer of x is the fiber over of the map
Problem of constructing a quotient
Unlike a set-theoretic group action, there is no straightforward way to construct a quotient for a group-scheme action. One exception is the case when the action is free, the case of a principal fiber bundle.
There are several approaches to overcome this difficulty:
Level structure - Perhaps the oldest, the approach replaces an object to classify by an object together with a level structure
Geometric invariant theory - throw away bad orbits and then take a quotient. The drawback is that there is no canonical way to introduce the notion of "bad orbits"; the notion depends on a choice of linearization. See also: categorical quotient, GIT quotient.
Borel construction - this is an approach essentially from algebraic topology; this approach requires one to work with an infinite-dimensional space.
Analytic approach, the theory of Teichmüller space
Quotient stack - in a sense, this is the ultimate answer to the problem. Roughly, a "quotient prestack" is the category of orbits and one stackify (i.e., the introduction of the notion of a torsor) it to get a quotient stack.
Depending on applications, another approach would be to shift the focus away from a space then onto stuff on a space; e.g., topos. So the problem shifts from the classification of orbits to that of equivariant objects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne%20Lester%20Hudson | Anne Lester Hudson is an American mathematician and mathematics educator. Her research specialty is the theory of topological semigroups; she is also known for her skill at mathematical problem-solving, and has coached students to success in both the International Mathematical Olympiad and the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. She is a professor emeritus at the Georgia Southern University-Armstrong Campus (formerly Armstrong State College).
Education
Born as Anne Lester, Hudson is originally from Mississippi,
and grew up in Inverness, Mississippi, a town so small that there were only seven students in her high school class.
She did her undergraduate studies at Hollins College, with Herta Freitag as a mentor. Unusually for the time, she continued at Hollins for four years, instead of transferring after two years to another university, in order to continue working with Freitag.
She graduated in 1953.
In 1961, she earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from Tulane University,
where she also met her husband, mathematician Sigmund Hudson. Her dissertation, On the Structure of Certain Classes of Topological Semigroups, was supervised by Paul Stallings Mostert. She became the first woman to earn a doctorate in mathematics at Tulane.
Career
After postdoctoral studies funded by the National Science Foundation and NATO,
Hudson became a faculty member at Syracuse University, and earned tenure there in 1966 for her research. In 1971 she moved to Armstrong State College in Georgia, "to an environment more heavily involved in undergraduate teaching".
In 1994 Hudson directed the United States Math Olympiad Program, a training program for the U.S. team in the International Mathematical Olympiad. She went to Hong Kong, where the Olympiad was held, as the coach for the team, and led the team to win the Olympiad.
Recognition
In 1993, when the Mathematical Association of America began giving out its Deborah and Franklin Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics, Hudson was one of the first winners. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching named her as one of their 1996 Outstanding Professors of the Year. She was given a special commendation by the Georgia House of Representatives in 1997. Hollins College has also given her their outstanding alumna award.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating%20conditional%20expectations | Alternating conditional expectations (ACE) is an algorithm to find the optimal transformations between the response variable and predictor variables in regression analysis.
Introduction
In statistics, nonlinear transformation of variables is commonly used in practice in regression problems. Alternating conditional expectations (ACE) is one of the methods to find those transformations that produce the best fitting additive model. Knowledge of such transformations aids in the interpretation and understanding of the relationship between the response and predictors.
ACE transform the response variable and its predictor variables, to minimize the fraction of variance not explained. The transformation is nonlinear and is obtained from data in an iterative way.
Mathematical description
Let be random variables. We use to predict . Suppose are zero-mean functions and with these transformation functions, the fraction of variance of not explained is
Generally, the optimal transformations that minimize the unexplained part are difficult to compute directly. As an alternative, ACE is an iterative method to calculate the optimal transformations. The procedure of ACE has the following steps:
Hold fixed, minimizing gives
Normalize to unit variance.
For each , fix other and , minimizing and the solution is::
Iterate the above three steps until is within error tolerance.
Bivariate case
The optimal transformation for satisfies
where is Pearson correlation coefficient. is known as the maximal correlation between and . It can be used as a general measure of dependence.
In the bivariate case, ACE algorithm can also be regarded as a method for estimating the maximal correlation between two variables.
Software implementation
The ACE algorithm was developed in the context of known distributions. In practice, data distributions are seldom known and the conditional expectation should be estimated from data. R language has a package acepack which implements ACE algorithm. The following example shows its usage:
library(acepack)
TWOPI <- 8 * atan(1)
x <- runif(200, 0, TWOPI)
y <- exp(sin(x) + rnorm(200)/2)
a <- ace(x, y)
par(mfrow=c(3,1))
plot(a$y, a$ty) # view the response transformation
plot(a$x, a$tx) # view the carrier transformation
plot(a$tx, a$ty) # examine the linearity of the fitted model
Discussion
The ACE algorithm provides a fully automated method for estimating optimal transformations in multiple regression. It also provides a method for estimating maximal correlation between random variables. Since the process of iteration usually terminates in a limited number of runs, the time complexity of the algorithm is where is the number of samples. The algorithm is reasonably computer efficient.
A strong advantage of the ACE procedure is the ability to incorporate variables of quite different type in terms of the set of values they can assume. The transformation functions assume values on the real line. Their arguments can, how |
