Download or read book Lectures on Probability Theory and Statistics written by Simon Tavaré and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains lectures given at the 31st Probability Summer School in Saint-Flour (July 8-25, 2001). Simon Tavaré’s lectures serve as an introduction to the coalescent, and to inference for ancestral processes in population genetics. The stochastic computation methods described include rejection methods, importance sampling, Markov chain Monte Carlo, and approximate Bayesian methods. Ofer Zeitouni’s course on "Random Walks in Random Environment" presents systematically the tools that have been introduced to study the model. A fairly complete description of available results in dimension 1 is given. For higher dimension, the basic techniques and a discussion of some of the available results are provided. The contribution also includes an updated annotated bibliography and suggestions for further reading. Olivier Catoni's course appears separately.

Download or read book Estimation and Testing Under Sparsity written by Sara van de Geer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the Lasso method as its starting point, this book describes the main ingredients needed to study general loss functions and sparsity-inducing regularizers. It also provides a semi-parametric approach to establishing confidence intervals and tests. Sparsity-inducing methods have proven to be very useful in the analysis of high-dimensional data. Examples include the Lasso and group Lasso methods, and the least squares method with other norm-penalties, such as the nuclear norm. The illustrations provided include generalized linear models, density estimation, matrix completion and sparse principal components. Each chapter ends with a problem section. The book can be used as a textbook for a graduate or PhD course.

Download or read book Combinatorial Stochastic Processes written by Jim Pitman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this text is to bring graduate students specializing in probability theory to current research topics at the interface of combinatorics and stochastic processes. There is particular focus on the theory of random combinatorial structures such as partitions, permutations, trees, forests, and mappings, and connections between the asymptotic theory of enumeration of such structures and the theory of stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Poisson processes.

Download or read book Concentration Inequalities and Model Selection written by Pascal Massart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-04-26 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentration inequalities have been recognized as fundamental tools in several domains such as geometry of Banach spaces or random combinatorics. They also turn to be essential tools to develop a non asymptotic theory in statistics. This volume provides an overview of a non asymptotic theory for model selection. It also discusses some selected applications to variable selection, change points detection and statistical learning.

Download or read book Random Obstacle Problems written by Lorenzo Zambotti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the fine properties of solutions to Stochastic (Partial) Differential Equations with reflection at a boundary, this book begins with a discussion of classical one-dimensional diffusions as the reflecting Brownian motion, devoting a chapter to Bessel processes, and moves on to function-valued solutions to SPDEs. Inspired by the classical stochastic calculus for diffusions, which is unfortunately still unavailable in infinite dimensions, it uses integration by parts formulae on convex sets of paths in order to describe the behaviour of the solutions at the boundary and the contact set between the solution and the obstacle. The text may serve as an introduction to space-time white noise, SPDEs and monotone gradient systems. Numerous open research problems in both classical and new topics are proposed.

Download or read book Probability and Real Trees written by Steven N. Evans and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random trees and tree-valued stochastic processes are of particular importance in many fields. Using the framework of abstract "tree-like" metric spaces and ideas from metric geometry, Evans and his collaborators have recently pioneered an approach to studying the asymptotic behavior of such objects when the number of vertices goes to infinity. This publication surveys the relevant mathematical background and present some selected applications of the theory.
