Approximating the marginal likelihood using copula
Model selection is an important activity in modern data analysis and the conventional Bayesian approach to this problem involves calculation of marginal likelihoods for different models, together with diagnostics which examine specific aspects of model fit. Calculating the marginal likelihood is a difficult computation...

How hot can a heat bath get?
We study a model of two interacting Hamiltonian particles subject to a common potential in contact with two Langevin heat reservoirs: one at finite and one at infinite temperature. This is a toy model for 'extreme' non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We provide a full picture of the long-time behaviour of such a sys...

A note on Talagrand's transportation inequality and logarithmic Sobolev inequality
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the Bakry-Emery curvature is not lower bounded. Several new examples are provided.

A theory of generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants
Let X be a Calabi-Yau 3-fold over C. The Donaldson-Thomas invariants of X are integers DT^a(t) which count stable sheaves with Chern character a on X, with respect to a Gieseker stability condition t. They are defined only for Chern characters a for which there are no strictly semistable sheaves on X. They have the goo...

For our tests we used of three-dimensional 512 cube compressible MHD isothermal simulations performed for different sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers. We introduce the bispectrum, a new tool for...

Cognitive OFDM network sensing: a free probability approach
In this paper, a practical power detection scheme for OFDM terminals, based on recent free probability tools, is proposed. The objective is for the receiving terminal to determine the transmission power and the number of the surrounding base stations in the network. However, thesystem dimensions of the network model tu...

When are two algorithms the same?
People usually regard algorithms as more abstract than the programs that implement them. The natural way to formalize this idea is that algorithms are equivalence classes of programs with respect to a suitable equivalence relation. We argue that no such equivalence relation exists.

Probing The Lower Mass Limit for Supernova Progenitors and the High-Mass End of the Initial-Final Mass Relation from White Dwarfs in the Open Cluster M35 (NGC 2168)
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the white dwarf population of the populous, intermediate-age open cluster M35 (NGC 2168); this study expands upon our previous study of the white dwarfs in this cluster. We spectroscopically confirm 14 white dwarfs in the field of the cluster: 12 DAs, 1 hot DQ, and 1 ...

The Observation of Percolation-Induced 2D Metal-Insulator Transition in a Si MOSFET
By analyzing the temperature ($T$) and density ($n$) dependence of the measured conductivity ($\sigma$) of 2D electrons in the low density ($\sim10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$) and temperature (0.02 - 10 K) regime of high-mobility (1.0 and 1.5 $\times 10^4$ cm$^2$/Vs) Si MOSFETs, we establish that the putative 2D metal-insulator tr...

Magnetic acceleration of ultra-relativistic jets in gamma-ray burst sources
We present a relativistic-MHD numerical study of axisymmetric, magnetically driven jets with parameters applicable to gamma-ray burst (GRB) flows. We also present analytic expressions for the asymptotic jet shape and other flow parameters that agree very well with the numerical results. All current-carrying outflows ex...

We reconstruct the interaction rate of the holographic dark energy model recently proposed by Zimdahl and Pav\'{o}n \cite{wd} in the redshift interval $0 < z < 1.8$ with observational data from supernovae type Ia, baryon acoustic oscillations, gas mass fraction in galaxy clusters, and the growth factor. It shows a reas...

Stability Bound for Stationary Phi-mixing and Beta-mixing Processes
Most generalization bounds in learning theory are based on some measure of the complexity of the hypothesis class used, independently of any algorithm. In contrast, the notion of algorithmic stability can be used to derive tight generalization bounds that are tailored to specific learning algorithms by exploiting their...

A Fully Quantum Asymptotic Equipartition Property
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 which is almost equally likely. In this paper, we prove a fully quantum generalizat...

It is shown in this paper that the solution to Lasso, in addition to its sparsity, has robustness properties: it is the solution to a robust optimization problem. This has two important consequences.
