Expected minimum face angle of random convex polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^3$

Let $P_n$ be a "random convex polyhedron" in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of $n$ vertices, where "random" could follow any one of a number of models: (1) the convex hull of $n$ points randomly and uniformly ...

On the 1/2 assumption on concentration of measure for continuous cube

The concentration of measure on $ [0, 1]^n $ equipped with uniform probability measure $\mu_{\infty}$, states that for any $A \subset [0, 1]^n $ with $ \mu_{\infty}(A) \geq \frac{1}{2} $, we have: $$...

Geometric meaning of the chi-square "measure of association"

In Statistics, there's a standard test of independence of two random variables taking values in finite sets $I,J$. It relies on the computation of $\chi$-square statistics, $$ \chi^2:=\sum_{(i,j)\in ...

On symmetry and measure concentration rate for convex bodies

The concentration of measure on the cube $ [0, 1]^n $ equipped with uniform probability measure $\mu_{\infty}$, states that for any $A \subset [0, 1]^n $ with $ \mu_{\infty}(A) \geq \frac{1}{2} $, we ...

Is there a polynomial expression for the volume of the following set?

Denote the unit $\ell_2$ ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as $\mathcal{B}_n$. It is widely kown that for a convex body $\mathcal{K}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, the $n$-dimensional volume of the parallel body $\...
