Comparison of Parameter estimation using maximum likelihood and Maximum entropy
I am not sure if the question is appropriate but I want to try my luck. One can estimate a parameter using maximum likelihood and we know it is optimal. On the other hand there are methods which uses ...

Hilbert Schmidt Operators and the Conditional Expectation Operator
Consider the function $\text{E}_W: L_2(\mathbb{R},P_X) \mapsto L_2(\mathbb{R},P_W)$ where $P_X$ and $P_W$ are two different probability measures. They are related in such a way that if $f_X$, $f_W$ ...

Weak ergodicity of nonhomogenous products of 0-1 matrices
Here is a question which probably has a negative answer, but I couldn't find any literature directly on it.
Let $(A_n)$ be a sequence of rectangular 0-1 matrices (that is, the entries are restricted ...

Rescaling positive definite matrices to force a unit eigenvector
Hello,
Let $X'X$ be a positive definite matrix and let $\mathbf{1}$ denote the vector of ones.
I'm hoping to construct a positive, diagonal matrix $W$ such that
$$(W X'X W) \mathbf{1} = \mathbf{1}$$...

Bounding point-wise maximum of the absolute difference of two convex functions
Let $\Delta: R \times R \rightarrow R_{+}$ be a positive and convex function (convex in, say, both the arguments) called the loss function.
Let $x \in R^d$. Moreover, let $H_1,...,H_r$ be sets of ...
