A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Markovian Data

Daniel Kuhn, Mengmeng Li, Tobias Sutter

We study a stochastic program where the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is unknown and only indirectly observed via finitely many correlated samples generated by an unknown Markov chain with d states. We propose a data-driven d ...

Time- and Space-Efficient Spatial Data Analytics

Mirjana Pavlovic

Advances in data acquisition technologies and supercomputing for large-scale simulations have led to an exponential growth in the volume of spatial data. This growth is accompanied by an increase in data complexity, such as spatial density, but also by mor ...

Fréchet means and Procrustes analysis in Wasserstein space

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

We consider two statistical problems at the intersection of functional and non-Euclidean data analysis: the determination of a Fréchet mean in the Wasserstein space of multivariate distributions; and the optimal registration of deformed random measures and ...

Statistical Applications of Random Matrix Theory: Comparison of Two Populations

Rémy Mariétan

During the last twenty years, Random matrix theory (RMT) has produced numerous results that allow a better understanding of large random matrices. These advances have enabled interesting applications in the domain of communication. Although this theory can ...

Interactive Visual Exploration of Spatio-Temporal Urban Data Sets using Urbane

Anastasia Ailamaki, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou, Haoqiong Bian

The recent explosion in the number and size of spatio-temporal data sets from urban environments and social sensors creates new opportunities for data-driven approaches to understand and improve cities. Visual analytics systems like Urbane aim to empower d ...

Contributions to Modelling Extremes of Spatial Data

Linda Frossard

The increasing interest in using statistical extreme value theory to analyse environmental data is mainly driven by the large impact extreme events can have. A difficulty with spatial data is that most existing inference methods for asymptotically justifie ...

Temperature statistics in the deep ocean

Andrea Cimatoribus

The study of turbulence in geophysical flows benefits from the growing amount of data available via modern sensor technologies. It is now possible to obtain detailed statistical characterisation of turbulence from field observations. By ``statistical,'' we ...

Quantification of roughness and spatial distribution of dislocations in MBE and MOVPE grown LED heterostructures

Nicolas Grandjean

A combination of nanoscale imaging techniques such as atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are used to investigate the relationship between surface morphology and height statistics of GaN cap layers in InGaN/GaN light emitting diode het ...

Toward timely, predictable and cost-effective data analytics

Renata Borovica-Gajic

Modern industrial, government, and academic organizations are collecting massive amounts of data at an unprecedented scale and pace. The ability to perform timely, predictable and cost-effective analytical processing of such large data sets in order to ext ...
