Visceral theory of sleep and origins of mental disorders [PDF]
Medical Hypotheses 120 (2018), 22-27, 2017 Visceral theory of sleep states that the same brain neurons, which process external information in wakefulness, during sleep switch to the processing of internal information coming from various visceral systems. Here we hypothesize that a failure in the commutation of exteroceptive and interoceptive information flows in the brain can manifest itself as

, 2020 A fundamental part of data visualization is transforming data to map abstract information onto visual attributes.

Grenander--Stone estimator: stacked constrained estimation of a discrete distribution over a general directed acyclic graph [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper we integrate isotonic regression with Stone's cross-validation-based method to estimate a distribution with a general countable support with a partial order relation defined on it. We prove that the estimator is strongly consistent for any underlying distribution, derive its rate of convergence, and in the case of one-dimensional support ...
