This paper introduces a statistical method to decide whether two blocks in a pair of of images match reliably. The method ensures that the selected block matches are unlikely to have occurred "just by...

Humans dispose of two intertwined information processing pathways, cognitive information processing via neural firing patterns and diffusive volume control via neuromodulation. The cognitive informati...

We establish a general formula for the distribution of the score in table tennis. We use this formula to derive the probability distribution (and hence the expectation and variance) of the number of r...

Recurrent neurons, or "simulated" qubits, can store simultaneous true and false with probabilistic behaviors usually reserved for the qubits of quantum physics. Although possible to construct artifici...

The elastic net was introduced as a heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimisation and has been applied, among other problems, to biological modelling. It has an energy function which trades off a...

In this paper, we provide $R$-estimators of the location of a rotationally symmetric distribution on the unit sphere of $\R^k$. In order to do so we first prove the local asymptotic normality property...

Recently, the concept of tail dependence has been discussed in financial applications related to market or credit risk. The multivariate extreme value theory is a proper tool to measure and model depe...

Rapid action potential generation --- spiking --- and alternating intervals of spiking and quiescence --- bursting --- are two dynamic patterns observed in neuronal activity. In computational models o...

In genetics it is often of interest to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are directly related to a disease, rather than just being associated with it. Few methods exist, however, ad...

We derive the mean-field equations arising as the limit of a network of interacting spiking neurons, as the number of neurons goes to infinity. The neurons belong to a fixed number of populations and...
