Iosif Pinelis published the paper “Rosenthal-Type Inequalities for Martingales in 2-Smooth Banach Spaces, in Theory of Probability & Its Applications,” Volume 59, Issue 4, 699-706. The abstract of the paper is available here.
The College of Sciences and Arts is pleased to announce the David House Endowed Professorship in Statistics, Data Mining, and Data Analytics for Kui Zhang. Professor Zhang, a new faculty member in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, is pursuing methodological developments and seeking collaborations in statistical genetics and genomics, bioinformatics, and biostatistics.
David House is one of Michigan Tech’s leading strategic supporters. As department chair Mark Gockenbach has noted, “It is gratifying that Mr. House recognizes the importance of statistics and data science in today’s world. His support has been critical in helping Michigan Tech to move forward, and I am very grateful for his latest contribution to the university.”
Jiguang Sun received a $144,996 grant from the National Science Foundation for a research and development project titled, Finite Element Methods for High Order Eigenvalue Problems. This is a three-year project.
Iosif Pinelis published a paper, “Characteristic function of the positive part of a random variable and related results, with applications,” in Statistics and Probability Letters, Vol. 106 (2015), pp. 281-286.
Iosif Pinelis published two papers:
1. “Best possible bounds of the von Bahr–Esseen type”, in Annals of Functional Analysis, Volume 6, Number 4 (2015), 1–29. Read the abstract.
2. “On the Hölder and Cauchy–Schwarz Inequalities”, in The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 122, No. 6, 593–595, which can be found and read on Mathematical Association of America’s website.
Iosif Pinelis presented, “Exact Rosenthal-type bounds”, at the European Meeting of Statisticians held in Amsterdam last week. The talk was based on the paper with the same title.
Pinelis also organized and chaired the session, “Inequalities and Extremal Problems in Probability and Statistics” at this meeting.
