Random Matrices and Non-Commutative Probability
Author: Arup Bose
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000458814
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This is an introductory book on Non-Commutative Probability or Free Probability and Large Dimensional Random Matrices. Basic concepts of free probability are introduced by analogy with classical probability in a lucid and quick manner. It then develops the results on the convergence of large dimensional random matrices, with a special focus on the interesting connections to free probability. The book assumes almost no prerequisite for the most part. However, familiarity with the basic convergence concepts in probability and a bit of mathematical maturity will be helpful. Combinatorial properties of non-crossing partitions, including the Möbius function play a central role in introducing free probability. Free independence is defined via free cumulants in analogy with the way classical independence can be defined via classical cumulants. Free cumulants are introduced through the Möbius function. Free product probability spaces are constructed using free cumulants. Marginal and joint tracial convergence of large dimensional random matrices such as the Wigner, elliptic, sample covariance, cross-covariance, Toeplitz, Circulant and Hankel are discussed. Convergence of the empirical spectral distribution is discussed for symmetric matrices. Asymptotic freeness results for random matrices, including some recent ones, are discussed in detail. These clarify the structure of the limits for joint convergence of random matrices. Asymptotic freeness of independent sample covariance matrices is also demonstrated via embedding into Wigner matrices. Exercises, at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, are provided in each chapter.

Random Circulant Matrices
Author: Arup Bose
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429788185
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Circulant matrices have been around for a long time and have been extensively used in many scientific areas. This book studies the properties of the eigenvalues for various types of circulant matrices, such as the usual circulant, the reverse circulant, and the k-circulant when the dimension of the matrices grow and the entries are random. In particular, the behavior of the spectral distribution, of the spectral radius and of the appropriate point processes are developed systematically using the method of moments and the various powerful normal approximation results. This behavior varies according as the entries are independent, are from a linear process, and are light- or heavy-tailed. Arup Bose obtained his B.Stat., M.Stat. and Ph.D. degrees from the Indian Statistical Institute. He has been on its faculty at the Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit, Kolkata, India since 1991. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and of all three national science academies of India. He is a recipient of the S.S. Bhatnagar Prize and the C.R. Rao Award. He is the author of three books: Patterned Random Matrices, Large Covariance and Autocovariance Matrices (with Monika Bhattacharjee) and U-Statistics, M_m-Estimators and Resampling (with Snigdhansu Chatterjee). Koushik Saha obtained a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandiara, Belur and an M.Sc. in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Indian Statistical Institute under the supervision of Arup Bose. His thesis on circulant matrices received high praise from the reviewers. He has been on the faculty of the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay since 2014.

Measure and Integration
Author: S. Kesavan
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811366780
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This book deals with topics on the theory of measure and integration. It starts with discussion on the Riemann integral and points out certain shortcomings, which motivate the theory of measure and the Lebesgue integral. Most of the material in this book can be covered in a one-semester introductory course. An awareness of basic real analysis and elementary topological notions, with special emphasis on the topology of the n-dimensional Euclidean space, is the pre-requisite for this book. Each chapter is provided with a variety of exercises for the students. The book is targeted to students of graduate- and advanced-graduate-level courses on the theory of measure and integration.

Recent Advances and Trends in Nonparametric Statistics
Author: M.G. Akritas
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080540376
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
The advent of high-speed, affordable computers in the last two decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric way of thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures, such as function smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract flavour as they became practically implementable. In addition, many previously unthinkable possibilities became mainstream; prime examples include the bootstrap and resampling methods, wavelets and nonlinear smoothers, graphical methods, data mining, bioinformatics, as well as the more recent algorithmic approaches such as bagging and boosting. This volume is a collection of short articles - most of which having a review component - describing the state-of-the art of Nonparametric Statistics at the beginning of a new millennium.Key features:• algorithic approaches • wavelets and nonlinear smoothers • graphical methods and data mining • biostatistics and bioinformatics • bagging and boosting • support vector machines • resampling methods

Essential Statistical Inference
Author: Dennis D. Boos
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461448182
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 567
Book Description
This book is for students and researchers who have had a first year graduate level mathematical statistics course. It covers classical likelihood, Bayesian, and permutation inference; an introduction to basic asymptotic distribution theory; and modern topics like M-estimation, the jackknife, and the bootstrap. R code is woven throughout the text, and there are a large number of examples and problems. An important goal has been to make the topics accessible to a wide audience, with little overt reliance on measure theory. A typical semester course consists of Chapters 1-6 (likelihood-based estimation and testing, Bayesian inference, basic asymptotic results) plus selections from M-estimation and related testing and resampling methodology. Dennis Boos and Len Stefanski are professors in the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State. Their research has been eclectic, often with a robustness angle, although Stefanski is also known for research concentrated on measurement error, including a co-authored book on non-linear measurement error models. In recent years the authors have jointly worked on variable selection methods.
