An Imaginary, Average Sun
<p><em>An Imaginary, Average Sun </em>is a novel about J, a computer programmer and data analyst, who discovers an algorithm that can predict her future. The book is composed of sections and fragments that investigate the lead up to and fall out from J’s discovery and the effect it has upon her …

Essays on average treatment effects
… consists of three essays on estimating average treatment effects (ATE) under counterfactual framework. In Chapter 1, I compare the performances of single-step and two-step estimators for estimating the ATE in a linear model when treatment assignment depends on unobservables. Recent …

High-average-power planar waveguide lasers
… in this thesis is some progress towards high-average-power diode-pumped planar waveguide lasers. As a format of the laser active medium, planar waveguides take advantage of their extreme slab geometry, which is compatible with that of high-power diode lasers, offer a great degree of …

Average-case complexity of detecting cliques
… models of computation, solving k-CLIQUE in the average case requires Q(nk/4) resources (moreover, k/4 is tight). Here the models of computation are bounded-depth Boolean circuits and unbounded-depth monotone circuits, the complexity measure is the number of gates, and the input distributions are …

Oral Reading, Silent Reading, and Listening Comprehension: A Comparative Study for Above-Average and Below-Average Readers
… comprehension to reading comprehension for above-average and below-average readers, one can come to some conclusions about where the problem resides for poor readers-whether it be lack of phonic skills or lack of general verbal competence. Because teachers need to know better where to invest their …

Approximating Average Bounded-Angle Minimum Spanning Trees
… in wireless communication networks, we study average bounded-angle minimum spanning trees. Let P be a set of points in the plane and let α be an angle. An α-spanning tree (α-ST) of P is a spanning tree of the complete Euclidean graph induced by P with the restriction that all edges incident to …

Causal Inference Beyond Estimating Average Treatment Effects
… and control groups that is often called the average treatment effect (ATE), and rely on identifying assumptions to allow causal interpretation. However, more specific treatment effects beyond the ATE can be estimated under the same assumptions. For example, instead of estimating the mean of …

On the average generation of a population
Estimating the average generation of a collection of cells is helpful in understanding complex cellular differentiation processes, identifying carcinogenic cellular activities, and quantifying the ageing of the immune system. Different techniques based on both direct observations and indirect …

How early can we average Neural Networks?
… networks can be combined simply with arithmetic averages over their parameters. This observation has led to many new research directions in model ensembling, meta-learning, federated learning, and optimization. We investigate the evolution of this phenomenon during the training trajectory of …

Resilient Average and Distortion Detection in Sensor Networks
… sensors when an aggregated result such as the average needs to be obtained. By examining the variance in sensor readings, a change in the pattern can be spotted and minimized in order to maintain a stable aggregated reading. Offset in sensors readings are also analyzed and compensated to help …

Average lang-trotter conjecture for 2 elliptic curves
Let E 1 and E 2 be two elliptic curves without complex multiplication over the rationals. For primes p of good reduction, let a p ( E 1 ) and a p ( E 2 ) be the traces of the Frobenius morphism of E 1 and E 2 respectively. By Hasse's theorem, we know that a p ( E i ), i = 1,2, are integers and …

Probabilistic simulation for reliability and average power estimation
The trend in the integrated circuit industry towards an ever greater miniaturization of circuit components accentuated reliability problems such as electromigration in the power buses, hot-carrier degradation of transistors, and excessive power consumption, which ultimately resulted in chip …

Local Algorithms for Sparsification of Average-case Graphs
… can be accomplished much faster, by considering average-case graphs such as Erdos-Renyi random graphs and the Preferential Attachment model. We first present an LCA algorithm which, on an Erdos-Renyi graph input 𝐺 with edge parameter 𝑝 ≥ Ω(log(𝑛) 𝑛 ), gives fast access to a sparsification 𝐺′ of …

The inhomogeneous Universe : its average expansion and cosmic variance
… to what extent do local structures modify the average expansion of spatial regions with a given size, and secondly, how strongly does the presence of structure limit the possible accuracy of measurements in our cosmic neighborhood. To address these questions we first characterize the properties …

Approximation of prices for average-type options via bounds
… problem of pricing multi-dimensional arithmetic average-type options is a complex problem both analytically and numerically, analytically because the distribution of the average on which the payoff function depends is unknown in closed-form and numerically because of the high dimensionality of …

Average Cayley genus for Cayley maps with dihedral groups
… generators and their inverses. A formula for the average Cayley genus is known for the dihedral group with generating set consisting of all the reflections. However, the known formula involves sums of certain coefficients of a generating function and its format does not specifically indicate the …
