Feb 21, 2026 — Whitening, or sphering, is a common preprocessing step in statistical analysis to transform random variables to orthogonality. However, due to rotational freedom there are infinitely many possible whi...

Feb 21, 2026 — The behaviour of building occupants in the first stage of an evacuation can dramatically impact the time required to evacuate buildings. This behaviour has been widely investigated by scholars with a ...

Feb 22, 2026 — Deconvolution problems arise in a variety of situations in statistics. An interesting problem is to estimate the density $f$ of a random variable $X$ based on $n$ i.i.d. observations from $Y = X + \va...

Feb 22, 2026 — The following theorem is proved. Let $X_1, X_2, \cdots, X_n$ be $n$ independently (but not necessarily identically) distributed random variables, and assume that the $n$th moment of each $X_i(i = 1, 2...
