JIn real-world scenarios, we encounter non-exchangeable dependence structures. Our primary focus is on identifying and quantifying non-exchangeability in the tails of joint distributions.

Film festivals as cosmopolitan assemblages: A case study in diasporic cocreation
Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, 2018 In this article, I seek to explore the use and development of the notion of cosmopolitanism within the context of film festivals. I will examine the specific case study of the Leicester Asian Film Festival from the perspective of an insider—as a Film ...

Convergence to the coalescent and its relation to the time back to the most recent common ancestor [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2008 For the class of haploid exchangeable population models with non-overlapping generations and population size $N$ it is shown that, as $N$ tends to infinity, convergence of the time-scaled ancestral process to Kingman's coalescent and convergence in ...

Centered Partition Process: Informative Priors for Clustering
, 2019 There is a very rich literature proposing Bayesian approaches for clustering starting with a prior probability distribution on partitions. Most approaches assume exchangeability, leading to simple representations in terms of Exchangeable Partition ...

The Counterpart Principle of Analogical Support by Structural Similarity [PDF]
, 2013 We propose and investigate an Analogy Principle in the context of Unary Inductive Logic based on a notion of support by structural similarity which is often employed to motivate scientific ...

On the size of the block of 1 for
Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2017 We study the frequency process $f_{1}$ of the block of 1 for a Ξ-coalescent Π with dust. If Π stays infinite, $f_{1}$ is a jump-hold process which can be expressed as a sum of broken parts from a stick-breaking procedure with uncorrelated, but in general

Extensions Of The Concept Of Exchangeability And Their Applications [PDF]
, 2002 Permutation tests provide exact p-values in a wide variety of practical testing situations. But permutation tests rely on the assumption of exchangeability, that is, under the hypothesis, the joint distribution of the observations is invariant under ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary dysfunction and sleep abnormalities are common in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Whether spirometry abnormalities are associated with polysomnography (PSG) findings remains unclear.

Lacunary Series and Strong Approximation
EntropyStrong approximation, introduced by Strassen (1964), is one of the most powerful methods to prove limit theorems in probability and statistics. In this paper we use strong approximation of lacunary series with conditionally independent sequences to prove

Exchangeability and the Law of Maturity
, 2014 The law of maturity is the belief that less-observed events are becoming mature and, therefore, more likely to occur in the future. Previous studies have shown that the assumption of infinite exchangeability contradicts the law of maturity. In particular,
