- Presents numerous exercises with solutions to help the reader better understand different aspects of modern statistics
- Applications with R and Matlab code show how to practically use the methods
- Includes numerous explanations and tips on how to apply modern statistical methods
The complexity of today’s statistical data calls for modern mathematical tools. Many fields of science make use of mathematical statistics and require continuous updating on statistical technologies. Practice makes perfect, since mastering the tools makes them applicable. Our book of exercises and solutions offers a wide range of applications and numerical solutions based on R. In modern mathematical statistics, the purpose is to provide statistics students with a number of basic exercises and also an understanding of how the theory can be applied to real-world problems. The application aspect is also quite important, as most previous exercise books are mostly on theoretical derivations. Also we add some problems from topics often encountered in recent research papers. The book was written for statistics students with one or two years of coursework in mathematical statistics and probability, professors who hold courses in mathematical statistics, and researchers in other fields who would like to do some exercises on math statistics.

In this paper the structural stability of generic families of vector fields of the PC-HC class on the two-dimensional sphere is proved. A classification of these families up to moderate equivalence in neighborhoods of their large bifurcation supports is presented, based on such invariants as the configuration and the characteristic set. The realization lemma is proved. ...

A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

We introduce an explicit class of tempered Laurent polynomials in the sense of Villegas and Doran--Kerr in n⩽4 variables including all Landau--Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds with very ample anticanonical class. We check that it contains Landau--Ginzburg models for various Fano fourfolds which are complete intersections in smooth toric varieties and Grassmannians of planes, ...

We deal with the global in time weak solutions to the 1D compressible Navier-Stokes system of equations for large discontinuous initial data and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of three standard types. We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$, on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...

We investigate the interplay between the dimension of the space of static potentials and the geometric and topological structure of the underlying static three-manifold. A partial classification of boundaryless static manifolds is obtained in terms of this dimension. We also treat the case of static manifolds with boundary. In particular, we prove that if a ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

We study Blaschke--Santal{ó}-type inequalities for N>=2 sets (functions) and a special class of cost functions. In particular, we prove new results about reduction of the maximization problem for the Blaschke--Santal{ó}-type functional to homogeneous case (functional inequalities on the sphere) and extend the symmetrization argument to the case of N>2 sets.
We also discuss links to the ...

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs. Our technique iteratively updates edge weights (their metric lengths) according to their (combinatorial) Foster version of Ricci curvature computed from effective resistance distance between the ...

An algebraic q-difference equation is considered. A sufficient condition for the existence of a formal power-logarithmic expansion of a solution to such an equation in the neighborhood of zero is proposed. An example of applying this sufficient condition for constructing a formal expansion of a solution to a certain q-difference analogue of the fifth Painlevé equation ...

This paper proposes a method of designing a statistically distinguishable rating scale
that is not excessive in relation to the existing observation statistics. This allows for
more stable validation with a fixed maximum number of violations of the Wald criterion
compared with the excess scales usually used by banks. The increased validation
robustness will reduce the calibration probability of ...

We establish a central limit theorem, a local limit theorem, and a law of large numbers for a natural
random walk on a symmetric space M of non-compact type and rank one. This class of spaces, which
includes the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the Cayley hyperbolic plane, generalizes
the real hyperbolic space Hn. Our approach introduces ...

The Lorenz attractor is the first example of a robustly chaotic non-hyperbolic attractor. Each orbit of such an attractor has a positive top Lyapunov exponent, and this property persists under small perturbations despite possible bifurcations of the attractor. In this paper, we study the boundary of the Lorenz attractor existence region in the Shimizu-Morioka model. ...

В работе приводится обобщение локальной предельной теоремы о сходимости неоднородных цепей Маркова к диффузионному пределу на случай, когда соответ- ствующие коэффициенты процессов удовлетворяют слабым условиям регулярности и совпадают лишь асимптотически. В частности, рассматриваемые нами коэффици- енты сноса могут быть неограниченными с не более чем линейным ростом, а оценки отражают перенос терминального состояния неограниченным трендом через ...

Hessian-based lightweight neural network for brain vessel segmentation on a minimal training dataset
Меньшиков И. А., Бернадотт А. К., Elvimov N. S., / Series arXie "Statistical mechanics". 2025.
Accurate segmentation of blood vessels in brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is essential for successful surgical procedures, such as aneurysm repair or bypass surgery. Currently, annotation is primarily performed through manual segmentation or classical methods, such as the Frangi filter, which often lack sufficient accuracy. Neural networks have emerged as powerful tools for medical image ...

A $\mathbf{Q}$-conic bundle is a contraction $f: X\to Z$ of a three-dimensional algebraic variety $X$ to a surface~$Z$ such that the variety~$X$ has only terminal $\mathbf{Q}$-factorial singularities, the anticanonical divisor $-K_X$ is~$f$-ample, and $\uprho(X/Z)=1$. We provide an algorithm to transform a $\mathbf{Q}$-conic bundle to its standard form. ...

Wierzba and Wisniewski proved that in dimension 4, every bimeromorphic map of hyperkahler manifolds is represented as a composition of Mukai flops. Hu and Yau conjectured that this result can be generalized to arbitrary dimension. They defined ``Mukai's elementary transformation'' as the blow-up of a subvariety ruled by complex projective spaces, composed with the contraction ...
