On surrogate loss functions and $f$-divergences

open access: yes, 2008
The goal of binary classification is to estimate a discriminant function $\gamma$ from observations of covariate vectors and corresponding binary labels.

The DNA of Calabi–Yau Hypersurfaces

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic Algorithms are implemented for triangulations of four‐dimensional reflexive polytopes, which induce Calabi–Yau threefold hypersurfaces via Batyrev's construction. These algorithms are shown to efficiently optimize physical observables such as axion decay constants or axion–photon couplings in string theory compactifications.

A comparison of the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure with some Bayesian rules for multiple testing

open access: yes, 2008
In the spirit of modeling inference for microarrays as multiple testing for sparse mixtures, we present a similar approach to a simplified version of quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping.

Improving convection‐permitting all‐sky infrared radiance ensemble data assimilation through mitigating deleterious non‐Gaussian artifacts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Ensemble Kalman filters (EnKFs) with quality control (QC) are commonly used in the data assimilation (DA) of all‐sky satellite‐sensed infrared radiance (IR) observations. However, the statistical assumptions underlying EnKFs and QC are violated in such DA.

On the Risks of Belonging to Disadvantaged Groups: A Bayesian Analysis of Labour Market Outcomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although methods of analysis based on Bayes’ theorem have had rich applications in Law and in Medicine they have not been much used in Economics. We use Bayes’ theorem to construct two concepts of the “risk” associated with belonging to a particular ...
