Maximal point-polyserial correlation for non-normal random distributions. [PDF]
Br J Math Stat PsycholAbstract We consider the problem of determining the maximum value of the point‐polyserial correlation between a random variable with an assigned continuous distribution and an ordinal random variable with k$$ k $$ categories, which are assigned the first k$$ k $$ natural values 1,2,…,k$$ 1,2,\dots, k $$, and arbitrary probabilities pi$$ {p}_i $$.

Hoeffding spaces and Specht modules [PDF]
, 2009 It is proved that each Hoeffding space associated with a random permutation (or, equivalently, with extractions without replacement from a finite population) carries an irreducible representation of the symmetric group, equivalent to a two-block Specht ...

Sampling-based proofs of almost-periodicity results and algorithmic applications
, 2012 We give new combinatorial proofs of known almost-periodicity results for sumsets of sets with small doubling in the spirit of Croot and Sisask, whose almost-periodicity lemma has had far-reaching implications in additive combinatorics.

Asymmetric quantum hypothesis testing with Gaussian states [PDF]
, 2014 We consider the asymmetric formulation of quantum hypothesis testing, where two quantum hypotheses have different associated costs. In this problem, the aim is to minimize the probability of false negatives and the optimal performance is provided by the ...

Exchangeable Hoeffding decompositions over finite sets: a characterization and counterexamples
, 2012 We study Hoeffding decomposable exchangeable sequences with values in a finite set D. We provide a new combinatorial characterization of Hoeffding decomposability and use this result to show that, if the cardinality of D is strictly greater than 2, then there exists a class of neither P lya nor i.i.d. D-valued exchangeable sequences that are Hoeffding

Hypothesis testing for Gaussian states on bosonic lattices
, 2008 The asymptotic state discrimination problem with simple hypotheses is considered for a cubic lattice of bosons. A complete solution is provided for the problems of the Chernoff and the Hoeffding bounds and Stein's lemma in the case when both hypotheses ...

Accreditation Against Limited Adversarial Noise
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.An upgraded accreditation (a variant of quantum verification) scheme is presented, significantly relaxing the assumptions, to allow adversarial noise, while preserving the suitability for near‐term / immediate usage. Abstract An accreditation protocol (a variety of quantum verification) is presented, where error is assumed to be adversarial (in ...

, 2009 Wasssily Hoeffding's terminal illness and untimely death in 1991 put an end to efforts that were made to interview him for Statistical Science. An account of his scientific work is given in Fisher and Sen [The Collected Works of Wassily Hoeffding (1994 ...

Simulating Quantum State Transfer Between Distributed Devices Using Noisy Interconnects
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.Noisy connections challenge future networked quantum computers. This work presents a practical method to address this by simulating an ideal state transfer over noisy interconnects. The approach reduces the high sampling cost of previous methods, an advantage that improves as interconnect quality gets better.

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Compound events (CEs), commonly defined as the “combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contributes to societal or environmental risk”, often result in amplified impacts compared to individual hazards. In order to estimate the return period of bivariate CEs, a novel nonparametric approach employing bivariate Generalized Pareto ...
