Removing systematics-induced 21-cm foreground residuals by cross-correlating filtered data

Tianyue Chen

Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal emitted by neutral hydrogen represent a promising probe of large-scale structure in the universe. However, the cosmological 21-cm signal is challenging to observe due to astrophysical foregrounds which are severa ...

Filtered data and eigenfunction estimators for statistical inference of multiscale and interacting diffusion processes

Andrea Zanoni

We study the problem of learning unknown parameters of stochastic dynamical models from data. Often, these models are high dimensional and contain several scales and complex structures. One is then interested in obtaining a reduced, coarse-grained descript ...

On Modeling Glottal Source Information for Phonation Assessment in Parkinson's Disease

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

Parkinson's disease produces several motor symptoms, including different speech impairments that are known as hypokinetic dysarthria. Symptoms associated to dysarthria affect different dimensions of speech such as phonation, articulation, prosody, and inte ...

Drift Estimation of Multiscale Diffusions Based on Filtered Data

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Garegnani, Andrea Zanoni, Grigorios A. Pavliotis

We study the problem of drift estimation for two-scale continuous time series. We set ourselves in the framework of overdamped Langevin equations, for which a single-scale surrogate homogenized equation exists. In this setting, estimating the drift coeffic ...
