Leaders, Followers, and Community Detection
Communities in social networks or graphs are sets of well-connected, overlapping vertices. The effectiveness of a community detection algorithm is determined by accuracy in finding the ground-truth communities and ability to scale with the size of the data. In this work, we provide three contributions. First, we show t...

The latitude dependence of the rotation measures of NVSS sources
In this Letter I use the variation of the spread in rotation measure (RM) with Galactic latitude to separate the Galactic from the extragalactic contributions to RM. This is possible since the latter does not depend on Galactic latitude. As input data I use RMs from the catalogue by Taylor, Stil, and Sunstrum, suppleme...

Minimal Flavour Violation with hierarchical squark masses
In a supersymmetric model with hierarchical squark masses we analyze a pattern of flavour symmetry breaking centered on the special role of the top Yukawa coupling and, by extension, of the full Yukawa couplings for the up-type quarks. For sufficiently heavy squarks of the first and second generation this leads to effe...

Dying Radio Galaxies In Clusters
We report the recent discovery of three `dying' radio galaxies belonging to the WENSS minisurvey sample: WNB1734+6407, WNB1829+6911 and WNB1851+5707. These sources have been selected on the basis of their extremely steep broad-band radio spectra, which is a strong indication that these objects either belong to the rare...

On reversible cascades in scale-free and Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs
Consider the following cascading process on a simple undirected graph $G(V,E)$ with diameter $\Delta$. In round zero, a set $S\subseteq V$ of vertices, called the seeds, are active. In round $i+1,$ $i\in\mathbb{N},$ a non-isolated vertex is activated if at least a $\rho\in(\,0,1\,]$ fraction of its neighbors are active...

A Reduction of Imitation Learning and Structured Prediction to No-Regret Online Learning

We present results of more than three decades of timing measurements of the first known binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16. Like most other pulsars, its rotational behavior over such long time scales is significantly affected by small-scale irregularities not explicitly accounted for in a deterministic model. Nevertheless, th...

Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions to Nonlinear Evolution Equations with Locally Monotone Operators

The Importance of Scale for Spatial-Confounding Bias and Precision of Spatial Regression Estimators
Residuals in regression models are often spatially correlated. Prominent examples include studies in environmental epidemiology to understand the chronic health effects of pollutants.

Privately Releasing Conjunctions and the Statistical Query Barrier
Suppose we would like to know all answers to a set of statistical queries C on a data set up to small error, but we can only access the data itself using statistical queries. A trivial solution is to exhaustively ask all queries in C. Can we do any better? + We show that the number of statistical queries necessary and ...

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar
The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave emission. In August 2006, a timing glitch was observed in the radio emission of PSR B0833-45, the Vela pulsar. At the time of the glitch, the...

Point process modeling for directed interaction networks
Network data often take the form of repeated interactions between senders and receivers tabulated over time. A primary question to ask of such data is which traits and behaviors are predictive of interaction. To answer this question, a model is introduced for treating directed interactions as a multivariate point proce...

Maximum likelihood estimation for social network dynamics
A model for network panel data is discussed, based on the assumption that the observed data are discrete observations of a continuous-time Markov process on the space of all directed graphs on a given node set, in which changes in tie variables are independent conditional on the current graph. The model for tie changes...

On the Chvatal-Gomory Closure of a Compact Convex Set
In this paper, we show that the Chvatal-Gomory closure of a compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question discussed in Schrijver [Schrijver 80'] and generalizes the same result for the case of rational polytopes [Schrijver 80'], rational ellipsoids [Dey-Vielma 10'] and strictly convex sets [...

Evolution of surname distribution under gender-equality measurements
We consider a model for the evolution of the surnames distribution under a gender-equality measurement presently discussed in the Spanish parliament (the children take the surname of the father or the mother according to alphabetical order). We quantify how this would bias the alphabetical distribution of surnames, and...

We consider the celebrated Blackwell Approachability Theorem for two-player games with vector payoffs. We show that Blackwell's result is equivalent, via efficient reductions, to the existence of "no-regret" algorithms for Online Linear Optimization. Indeed, we show that any algorithm for one such problem can be effici...

In contrast, ignoring in...

Uncovering latent structure in valued graphs: A variational approach

Pareto Optimal Solutions for Smoothed Analysts
Consider an optimization problem with $n$ binary variables and $d+1$ linear objective functions. Each valid solution $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ gives rise to an objective vector in $\R^{d+1}$, and one often wants to enumerate the Pareto optima among them. In the worst case there may be exponentially many Pareto optima; however,...

We consider rules for discarding predictors in lasso regression and related problems, for computational efficiency.

In this paper we propose strong ...
