TL;DR

It is shown that cells with low average distortion cover constant measure, that each such cell has exponentially small measure, and that Gaussian-profile isoperimetry forces total boundary Ω( p k ) .

Optimal-Dimension U-Calibration by Bayesian Bootstrap

It is shown that the classical Bayesian bootstrap closes this gap in U-calibration, which asks one online probability fore-caster to have low regret for every bounded proper loss, including losses unknown when the forecasts are made.

Sample-Conditional Mixtures of Entropy Estimators for Short Sequences Under a Uniform Marginal Null

Entropy estimation from short samples recurs in symmetric cryptography, where the reference distribution is uniform by design and no single estimator in the considered classical comparison set minimizes mean squared error (MSE) across the full range of ratios n/k. We introduce the adaptive sample-conditional entropy di...

A Layered Simplex Architecture for Large Alphabets

Probability estimation over large alphabets under log loss is a well-studied problem, with celebrated methods such as the Good-Turing estimator. We introduce and study a new Bayesian estimator with four notable properties. First, its construction is exceptionally simple: multiply independent uniform draws from the prob...
