Robust discrete choice models with t-distributed kernel errors

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal, Thomas Gasos

Outliers in discrete choice response data may result from misclassification and misreporting of the response variable and from choice behaviour that is inconsistent with modelling assumptions (e.g. random utility maximisation). In the presence of outliers, ...

Seeing the forest for the trees through metabolic scaling

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

We demonstrate that when power scaling occurs for an individual tree and in a forest, there is great resulting simplicity notwithstanding the underlying complexity characterizing the system over many size scales. Our scaling framework unifies seemingly dis ...

True scale-free networks hidden by finite size effects

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

We analyze about 200 naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free structure is generally viable. This has recently been questioned on the basis of statisti ...

Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert's drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes

Jean-François Molinari

Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, an ...

Multiple testing with test statistics following heavy-tailed distributions

Zhiwen Jiang

In multiple testing problems where the components come from a mixture model of noise and true effect, we seek to first test for the existence of the non-zero components, and then identify the true alternatives under a fixed significance level

Dynamics and clogging of colloidal monolayers magnetically driven through a heterogeneous landscape

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We combine experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the emergence of clogging in a system of interacting paramagnetic colloidal particles driven against a disordered landscape of larger obstacles. We consider a single aperture in a landscape of ...

Staggered flux state for rectangular-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets

Dmitri Ivanov, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Noore Elahi Shaik

We investigate the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a rectangular lattice, using the Gutzwiller projected variational wave function known as the staggered flux state. Using Monte Carlo techniques, the variational parameters and instantaneous spin-spin correlat ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture in shear and mixed mode scenarios

Jean-François Molinari, Okan Yilmaz, Enrico Milanese

We investigate shear and mixed mode fracture scenarios in inhomogeneous dry and fully saturated porous media with a 2D central force lattice model. For the fully saturated case we adopt the extended Biot's theory. The bars of the lattice break only under t ...

Physical Phenomena in Dynamic Failure of Concrete at the Mesoscale

Okan Yilmaz

The aim of the present thesis is to model numerically the dynamic failure behavior of concrete at the mesoscale. Concrete is the world's most widely used construction material and the structures made of it are subjected to dynamic loads during their long s ...

Avalanches in dry and saturated disordered media at fracture

Jean-François Molinari, Okan Yilmaz, Enrico Milanese

This paper analyzes fracturing in inhomogeneous media under dry and fully saturated conditions. We adopt a central force model with continuous damage to study avalanche behavior in a two-dimensional truss lattice undergoing dilation. Multiple fractures can ...

An Analysis of Load Imbalance in Scale-out Data Serving

Babak Falsafi, Stanko Novakovic, Boris Robert Grot, Alexandros Daglis, Edouard Bugnion

Despite the natural parallelism across lookups, performance of distributed key-value stores is often limited due to load imbalance induced by heavy skew in the popularity distribution of the dataset. To avoid violating service level objectives expressed in ...

A Scaling Law to Predict the Finite-Length Performance of Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke

Spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes are known to have excellent asymptotic properties. Much less is known regarding their finite-length performance. We propose a scaling law to predict the error probability of finite-length spatially ...

Dual sourcing under heavy-tailed demand: an extreme value theory approach

Isik Bicer

We consider a single-period dual-sourcing problem in which a buyer purchases its products from two different suppliers and sells them to a market with uncertain demand. One supplier is cheaper but less responsive, whereas the other supplier is more respons ...

Continuum percolation of polydisperse hyperspheres in infinite dimensions

Claudio Grimaldi

We analyze the critical connectivity of systems of penetrable d-dimensional spheres having size distributions in terms of weighed random geometrical graphs, in which vertex coordinates correspond to random positions of the sphere centers, and edges are for ...

The role of fluctuations in ecological patterns and processes

Andrea Giometto

Fluctuations are ubiquitous in nature and are relevant for nearly every ecological process. The main sources of fluctuations in population abundances are demographic and environmental stochasticity, whose effect on local population dynamics, metapopulation ...

Inhomogeneity of charge-density-wave order and quenched disorder in a high-T-c superconductor

Janusz Andrzej Karpinski, Davide Innocenti

It has recently been established that the high-transition-temperature (high-T-c) superconducting state coexists with short-range charge-density-wave order(1-11) and quenched disorder(12,13) arising from dopants and strain(14-17). This complex, multiscale p ...

Social-Aware Replication in Geo-Diverse Online Systems

Kévin Clément Huguenin

Distributing long-tail content is a difficult task due to the low amortization of bandwidth transfer costs as such content has limited number of views. Two recent trends are making this problem harder. First, the increasing popularity of user-generated con ...

Quantifying the Differences in Geometry and Size Distributions of Buildings Within Cities

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

There have been many studies on the spatial configuration of cities, but few attempts to quantify the difference in building patterns between the old and new parts of cities. This may be partly attributable to lack of suitable study methods. This paper pre ...

Sparsity and Infinite Divisibility

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini

We adopt an innovation-driven framework and investigate the sparse/compressible distributions obtained by linearly measuring or expanding continuous-domain stochastic models. Starting from the first principles, we show that all such distributions are neces ...

Bootstrap Percolation in Power-Law Random Graphs

Léo Hamed Amini

A bootstrap percolation process on a graph is an "infection" process which evolves in rounds. Initially, there is a subset of infected nodes and in each subsequent round each uninfected node which has at least infected neighbours becomes infected and remai ...
