Probability Density Estimation through Nonparametric Adaptive Partitioning and Stitching
Algorithms, 2023 We present a novel nonparametric adaptive partitioning and stitching (NAPS) algorithm to estimate a probability density function (PDF) of a single variable.

Heavy Tails in Program Structure
IEEE Computer Architecture Letters, 2017 Designing and optimizing computer systems require deep understanding of the underlying system behavior. Historically many important observations that led to the development of essential hardware and software optimizations were driven by empirical observations about program behavior. In this paper, we report an interesting property of program structures

Bayesian Robustness Modelling Using the Floor Distribution
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2018 In Bayesian analysis, the prior distribution and the likelihood can conflict, in the sense that they can carry diverse information about the parameter of interest. The most common form of conflict is the presence of outliers in the data.

A Review of More than One Hundred Pareto-Tail Index Estimators
Statistica, 2021 Heavy-tailed distributions are often encountered in economics, finance, biology, telecommunications, geology, etc. The heaviness of a tail is measured by a tail index. Numerous methods for tail index estimation have been proposed. This paper reviews more

The heavy tail of the human brain
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015 Fluctuating oscillations are a ubiquitous feature of neurophysiology. Are the amplitude fluctuations of neural oscillations chance excursions drawn randomly from a normal distribution, or do they tell us more? Recent empirical research suggests that the occurrence of 'anomalous' (high amplitude) oscillations imbues their probability distributions with ...

Heavy Metals: Might as Well Jump
International Journal of Financial Studies, 2019 Financial times series, and commodity prices in particular, are known to exhibit fat tails in the distribution of prices. As with many natural resources price series, the arrival of new information can lead to unexpectedly rapid changes—or jump ...

The Heavy Tails of Vulnerability Exploitation [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we analyse the frequency at which vulnerabilities are exploited in the wild by relying on data collected worldwide by Symantec’s sensors. Our analysis comprises 374 exploited vulnerabilities for a total of 75.7 Million recorded attacks spanning three years (2009-2012).

The Scientific World Journal, 2015 I present a parametric, bijective transformation to generate heavy tail versions of arbitrary random variables. The tail behavior of this heavy tail Lambert W × FX random variable depends on a tail parameter δ≥0: for δ=0, Y≡X, for δ>0 Y has heavier ...

Heavy-Tailed Independent Component Analysis [PDF]
2015 IEEE 56th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2015 Independent component analysis (ICA) is the problem of efficiently recovering a matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ from i.i.d. observations of $X=AS$ where $S \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is a random vector with mutually independent coordinates. This problem has been intensively studied, but all existing efficient algorithms with provable guarantees require ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
