Paris-Sud University
Paris-Sud University (French: ''Université Paris-Sud''), also known as University of Paris — XI (or as Université d'Orsay before 1971), was a French research university distributed among several campuses in the southern suburbs of Paris, including Orsay, Cachan, Châtenay-Malabry, Sceaux, and Kremlin-Bicêtre campuses. The main campus was located in Orsay. Starting from 2020, University Paris Sud has been replaced by the University of Paris-Saclay in The League of European Research Universities (LERU). Paris-Sud was one of the largest and most prestigious universities in France, particularly in science and mathematics. The university was ranked 1st in France, 9th in Europe and 37th worldwide by 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) in particular it was ranked as 1st in Europe for physics and 2nd in Europe for mathematics. Five Fields Medalists and two Nobel Prize Winners have been affiliated to the university. On 16 January 2019, Alain Sarfati was electe ...

Dvoretzky–Kiefer–Wolfowitz Inequality
In the theory of probability and statistics, the Dvoretzky–Kiefer–Wolfowitz–Massart inequality (DKW inequality) bounds how close an empirically determined distribution function will be to the distribution function from which the empirical samples are drawn. It is named after Aryeh Dvoretzky, Jack Kiefer, and Jacob Wolfowitz, who in 1956 proved the inequality : \Pr\Bigl(\sup_ , F_n(x) - F(x), > \varepsilon \Bigr) \le Ce^\qquad \text\varepsilon>0. with an unspecified multiplicative constant ''C'' in front of the exponent on the right-hand side. In 1990, Pascal Massart proved the inequality with the sharp constant ''C'' = 2, confirming a conjecture due to Birnbaum and McCarty. In 2021, Michael Naaman proved the multivariate version of the DKW inequality and generalized Massart's tightness result to the multivariate case, which results in a sharp constant of twice the number of variables, ''C'' = 2k. The DKW inequality Given a natural nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Concentration Inequality
In probability theory, concentration inequalities provide bounds on how a random variable deviates from some value (typically, its expected value). The law of large numbers of classical probability theory states that sums of independent random variables are, under very mild conditions, close to their expectation with a large probability. Such sums are the most basic examples of random variables concentrated around their mean. Recent results show that such behavior is shared by other functions of independent random variables. Concentration inequalities can be sorted according to how much information about the random variable is needed in order to use them. Markov's inequality Let X be a random variable that is non-negative (almost surely). Then, for every constant a > 0, : \Pr(X \geq a) \leq \frac. Note the following extension to Markov's inequality: if \Phi is a strictly increasing and non-negative function, then :\Pr(X \geq a) = \Pr(\Phi (X) \geq \Phi (a)) \leq \frac. Cheb ...

Lucien Birgé
Lucien Birgé (born 1950 in France) is a French mathematician. Education and career Lucien Birgé studied from 1970 to 1974 at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He then became an assistant at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris 6). In 1980 he received his doctorate from the Paris Diderot University (Paris 7). The following year he became a professor at the Paris Nanterre University. Since 1990 he has been a professor at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie. Birgé works in the field of mathematical statistics. His research deals with parametric and nonparametric statistics, model selection, adaptation, approximation, "dimension and metric entropy", and "asymptotic optimality of estimators in infinite-dimensional spaces". In 2005 he received the Brouwer Medal of the Koninklijk Wiskundig Genootschap for the ''diepte, originaliteit en elegantie van zijn werk op het gebied van de mathematische statistiek'' (depth, originality and elegance of his work in the field ...

COPSS Presidents' Award
The COPSS Presidents' Award is given annually by the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies to a young statistician in recognition of outstanding contributions to the profession of statistics. The COPSS Presidents' Award is generally regarded as one of the highest honours in the field of statistics, along with the International Prize in Statistics. Specifically, eligible candidates either i) will be under age 41 throughout the award calendar year, or ii) will be under age 46 throughout the award calendar year and will have received a terminal statistically-related degree no more than 12 years prior to that year. For example, an individual eligible for 2016 nomination under (ii) must have been born in 1971 or later with terminal statistically-related degree dated 2004 or later. Prior to 2005 the award was given to a statistician not yet having reached his or her 41st birthday during the calendar year of the award. The COPSS Presidents' Award is awarded by the five ...

European Congress Of Mathematics
The European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) is the second largest international conference of the mathematics community, after the International Congresses of Mathematicians (ICM). The ECM are held every four years and are timed precisely between the ICM. The ECM is held under the auspices of the European Mathematical Society (EMS), and was one of its earliest initiatives. It was founded by Max Karoubi and the first edition took place in Paris in 1992. Its objectives are "to present various new aspects of pure and applied mathematics to a wide audience, to be a forum for discussion of the relationship between mathematics and society in Europe, and to enhance cooperation among mathematicians from all European countries." Activities The Congresses generally last a week and consist of plenary lectures, parallel (invited) lectures and several mini-symposia devoted to a particular subject, where participants can contribute with posters and short talks. Many editions featured also s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
