For many practical problems, observations are not independent. In this book, limit behaviour of an important kind of dependent random variables, the so-called mixing random variables, is studied. Many profound results are given, which cover recent developments in this subject, such as basic properties of mixing variables, powerful probability and moment inequalities, weak convergence and strong convergence (approximation), limit behaviour of some statistics with a mixing sample, and many useful tools are provided. Audience: This volume will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the field of probability and statistics, whose work involves dependent data (variables).
This open access book provides an overview of the recent advances in representation learning theory, algorithms and applications for natural language processing (NLP). It is divided into three parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including words, phrases, sentences and documents. Part II then introduces the representation techniques for those objects that are closely related to NLP, including entity-based world knowledge, sememe-based linguistic knowledge, networks, and cross-modal entries. Lastly, Part III provides open resource tools for representation learning techniques, and discusses the remaining challenges and future research directions. The theories and algorithms of representation learning presented can also benefit other related domains such as machine learning, social network analysis, semantic Web, information retrieval, data mining and computational biology. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, researchers, lecturers, and industrial engineers, as well as anyone interested in representation learning and natural language processing.
Weak convergence of stochastic processes is one of most important theories in probability theory. Not only probability experts but also more and more statisticians are interested in it. In the study of statistics and econometrics, some problems cannot be solved by the classical method. In this book, we will introduce some recent development of modern weak convergence theory to overcome defects of classical theory.Contents: "The Definition and Basic Properties of Weak Convergence: "Metric SpaceThe Definition of Weak Convergence of Stochastic Processes and Portmanteau TheoremHow to Verify the Weak Convergence?Two Examples of Applications of Weak Convergence"Convergence to the Independent Increment Processes: "The Basic Conditions of Convergence to the Gaussian Independent Increment ProcessesDonsker Invariance PrincipleConvergence of Poisson Point ProcessesTwo Examples of Applications of Point Process Method"Convergence to Semimartingales: "The Conditions of Tightness for Semimartingale SequenceWeak Convergence to SemimartingaleWeak Convergence to Stochastic Integral I: The Martingale Convergence ApproachWeak Convergence to Stochastic Integral II: Kurtz and Protter's ApproachStable Central Limit Theorem for SemimartingalesAn Application to Stochastic Differential EquationsAppendix: The Predictable Characteristics of Semimartingales"Convergence of Empirical Processes: "Classical Weak Convergence of Empirical ProcessesWeak Convergence of Marked Empirical ProcessesWeak Convergence of Function Index Empirical ProcessesWeak Convergence of Empirical Processes Involving Time-Dependent dataTwo Examples of Applications in Statistics Readership: Graduate students and researchers in probability & statistics and econometrics.
Inequality has become an essential tool in many areas of mathematical research, for example in probability and statistics where it is frequently used in the proofs. "Probability Inequalities" covers inequalities related with events, distribution functions, characteristic functions, moments and random variables (elements) and their sum. The book shall serve as a useful tool and reference for scientists in the areas of probability and statistics, and applied mathematics. Prof. Zhengyan Lin is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and currently a professor at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He is the prize winner of National Natural Science Award of China in 1997. Prof. Zhidong Bai is a fellow of TWAS and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics; he is a professor at the National University of Singapore and Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China.
This volume presents an up-to-date review of the most significant developments in strong Approximation and strong convergence in probability theory. The book consists of three chapters. The first deals with Wiener and Gaussian processes. Chapter 2 is devoted to the increments of partial sums of independent random variables. Chapter 3 concentrates on the strong laws of processes generated by infinite-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. For researchers whose work involves probability theory and statistics.
