Robust discrete choice models with t-distributed kernel errors

Michel Bierlaire, Thomas Gasos, Prateek Bansal

Outliers in discrete choice response data may result from misclassification and misreporting of the response variable and from choice behaviour that is inconsistent with modelling assumptions (e.g. random utility maximisation). In the presence of outliers, ...

Seeing the forest for the trees through metabolic scaling

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

We demonstrate that when power scaling occurs for an individual tree and in a forest, there is great resulting simplicity notwithstanding the underlying complexity characterizing the system over many size scales. Our scaling framework unifies seemingly dis ...

True scale-free networks hidden by finite size effects

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

We analyze about 200 naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free structure is generally viable. This has recently been questioned on the basis of statisti ...

Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert's drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes

Jean-François Molinari

Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, an ...

Multiple testing with test statistics following heavy-tailed distributions

Zhiwen Jiang

In multiple testing problems where the components come from a mixture model of noise and true effect, we seek to first test for the existence of the non-zero components, and then identify the true alternatives under a fixed significance level

Dynamics and clogging of colloidal monolayers magnetically driven through a heterogeneous landscape

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We combine experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the emergence of clogging in a system of interacting paramagnetic colloidal particles driven against a disordered landscape of larger obstacles. We consider a single aperture in a landscape of ...

Staggered flux state for rectangular-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Dmitri Ivanov, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Noore Elahi Shaik

We investigate the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a rectangular lattice, using the Gutzwiller projected variational wave function known as the staggered flux state. Using Monte Carlo techniques, the variational parameters and instantaneous spin-spin correlat ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture in shear and mixed mode scenarios

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Okan Yilmaz

We investigate shear and mixed mode fracture scenarios in inhomogeneous dry and fully saturated porous media with a 2D central force lattice model. For the fully saturated case we adopt the extended Biot's theory. The bars of the lattice break only under t ...

Physical Phenomena in Dynamic Failure of Concrete at the Mesoscale

Okan Yilmaz

The aim of the present thesis is to model numerically the dynamic failure behavior of concrete at the mesoscale. Concrete is the world's most widely used construction material and the structures made of it are subjected to dynamic loads during their long s ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Okan Yilmaz

This paper analyzes fracturing in inhomogeneous media under dry and fully saturated conditions. We adopt a central force model with continuous damage to study avalanche behavior in a two-dimensional truss lattice undergoing dilation. Multiple fractures can ...
