We investigate a class of parametric elliptic eigenvalue problems with homogeneous essential boundary conditions where the coefficients (and hence the solution $u$) may depend on a parameter $y$. For the efficient approximate evaluation of parameter sensitivities of the first eigenpairs on the entire parameter space we propose and analyse Gevrey class and analytic regularity of the solution with respect to the parameters. This is made possible by a novel proof technique which we introduce and demonstrate in this paper. Our regularity result has immediate implications for convergence of various numerical schemes for parametric elliptic eigenvalue problems, in particular, for elliptic eigenvalue problems with infinitely many parameters arising from elliptic differential operators with random coefficients.

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of quantities of interest associated with solutions to parametric elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). The key novelty of this work is in its focus on the quantities of interest represented by continuously G\^ateaux differentiable nonlinear functionals. We consider a class of parametric elliptic PDEs where the underlying differential operator has affine dependence on a countably infinite number of uncertain parameters. We design a goal-oriented adaptive algorithm for approximating nonlinear functionals of solutions to this class of parametric PDEs. In the algorithm, the approximations of parametric solutions to the primal and dual problems are computed using the multilevel stochastic Galerkin finite element method (SGFEM) and the adaptive refinement process is guided by reliable spatial and parametric error indicators that identify the dominant sources of error. We prove that the proposed algorithm generates multilevel SGFEM approximations for which the estimates of the error in the goal functional converge to zero. Numerical experiments for a selection of test problems and nonlinear quantities of interest demonstrate that the proposed goal-oriented adaptive strategy yields optimal convergence rates (for both the error estimates and the reference errors in the quantities of interest) with respect to the overall dimension of the underlying multilevel approximations spaces.

The joint retrieval of surface reflectances and atmospheric parameters in VSWIR imaging spectroscopy is a computationally challenging high-dimensional problem. Using NASA's Surface Biology and Geology mission as the motivational context, the uncertainty associated with the retrievals is crucial for further application of the retrieved results for environmental applications. Although Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a Bayesian method ideal for uncertainty quantification, the full-dimensional implementation of MCMC for the retrieval is computationally intractable. In this work, we developed a block Metropolis MCMC algorithm for the high-dimensional VSWIR surface reflectance retrieval that leverages the structure of the forward radiative transfer model to enable tractable fully Bayesian computation. We use the posterior distribution from this MCMC algorithm to assess the limitations of optimal estimation, the state-of-the-art Bayesian algorithm in operational retrievals which is more computationally efficient but uses a Gaussian approximation to characterize the posterior. Analyzing the differences in the posterior computed by each method, the MCMC algorithm was shown to give more physically sensible results and reveals the non-Gaussian structure of the posterior, specifically in the atmospheric aerosol optical depth parameter and the low-wavelength surface reflectances.

The Metropolis algorithm is a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm used to simulate from parameter distributions of interest, such as generalized linear model parameters. The "Metropolis step" is a keystone concept that underlies classical and modern MCMC methods and facilitates simple analysis of complex statistical models. Beyond Bayesian analysis, MCMC is useful for generating uncertainty intervals, even under the common scenario in causal inference in which the target parameter is not directly estimated by a single, fitted statistical model. We demonstrate, with a worked example, pseudo-code, and R code, the basic mechanics of the Metropolis algorithm. We use the Metropolis algorithm to estimate the odds ratio and risk difference contrasting the risk of childhood leukemia among those exposed to high versus low level magnetic fields. This approach can be used for inference from Bayesian and frequentist paradigms and, in small samples, offers advantages over large-sample methods like the bootstrap.

The absence of annotated sign language datasets has hindered the development of sign language recognition and translation technologies. In this paper, we introduce Bornil; a crowdsource-friendly, multilingual sign language data collection, annotation, and validation platform. Bornil allows users to record sign language gestures and lets annotators perform sentence and gloss-level annotation. It also allows validators to make sure of the quality of both the recorded videos and the annotations through manual validation to develop high-quality datasets for deep learning-based Automatic Sign Language Recognition. To demonstrate the system's efficacy; we collected the largest sign language dataset for Bangladeshi Sign Language dialect, perform deep learning based Sign Language Recognition modeling, and report the benchmark performance. The Bornil platform, BornilDB v1.0 Dataset, and the codebases are available on //bornil.bengali.ai

Statistical techniques are needed to analyse data structures with complex dependencies such that clinically useful information can be extracted. Individual-specific networks, which capture dependencies in complex biological systems, are often summarized by graph-theoretical features. These features, which lend themselves to outcome modelling, can be subject to high variability due to arbitrary decisions in network inference and noise. Correlation-based adjacency matrices often need to be sparsified before meaningful graph-theoretical features can be extracted, requiring the data analysts to determine an optimal threshold.. To address this issue, we propose to incorporate a flexible weighting function over the full range of possible thresholds to capture the variability of graph-theoretical features over the threshold domain. The potential of this approach, which extends concepts from functional data analysis to a graph-theoretical setting, is explored in a plasmode simulation study using real functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) Preprocessed initiative. The simulations show that our modelling approach yields accurate estimates of the functional form of the weight function, improves inference efficiency, and achieves a comparable or reduced root mean square prediction error compared to competitor modelling approaches. This assertion holds true in settings where both complex functional forms underlie the outcome-generating process and a universal threshold value is employed. We demonstrate the practical utility of our approach by using resting-state fMRI data to predict biological age in children. Our study establishes the flexible modelling approach as a statistically principled, serious competitor to ad-hoc methods with superior performance.

Introduction: Oblique Target-rotation in the context of exploratory factor analysis is a relevant method for the investigation of the oblique independent clusters model. It was argued that minimizing single cross-loadings by means of target rotation may lead to large effects of sampling error on the target rotated factor solutions. Method: In order to minimize effects of sampling error on results of Target-rotation we propose to compute the mean cross-loadings for each block of salient loadings of the independent clusters model and to perform target rotation for the block-wise mean cross-loadings. The resulting transformation-matrix is than applied to the complete unrotated loading matrix in order to produce mean Target-rotated factors. Results: A simulation study based on correlated independent factor models revealed that mean oblique Target-rotation resulted in smaller negative bias of factor inter-correlations than conventional Target-rotation based on single loadings, especially when sample size was small and when the number of factors was large. An empirical example revealed that the similarity of Target-rotated factors computed for small subsamples with Target-rotated factors of the total sample was more pronounced for mean Target-rotation than for conventional Target-rotation. Discussion: Mean Target-rotation can be recommended in the context of oblique independent factor models, especially for small samples. An R-script and an SPSS-script for this form of Target-rotation are provided in the Appendix.

Asymptotic separation index is a parameter that measures how easily a Borel graph can be approximated by its subgraphs with finite components. In contrast to the more classical notion of hyperfiniteness, asymptotic separation index is well-suited for combinatorial applications in the Borel setting. The main result of this paper is a Borel version of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma -- a powerful general-purpose tool in probabilistic combinatorics -- under a finite asymptotic separation index assumption. As a consequence, we show that locally checkable labeling problems that are solvable by efficient randomized distributed algorithms admit Borel solutions on bounded degree Borel graphs with finite asymptotic separation index. From this we derive a number of corollaries, for example a Borel version of Brooks's theorem for graphs with finite asymptotic separation index.

Conjugate gradient is an efficient algorithm for solving large sparse linear systems. It has been utilized to accelerate the computation in Bayesian analysis for many large-scale problems. This article discusses the applications of conjugate gradient in Bayesian computation, with a focus on sparse regression and spatial analysis. A self-contained introduction of conjugate gradient is provided to facilitate potential applications in a broader range of problems.

Graph representation learning for hypergraphs can be used to extract patterns among higher-order interactions that are critically important in many real world problems. Current approaches designed for hypergraphs, however, are unable to handle different types of hypergraphs and are typically not generic for various learning tasks. Indeed, models that can predict variable-sized heterogeneous hyperedges have not been available. Here we develop a new self-attention based graph neural network called Hyper-SAGNN applicable to homogeneous and heterogeneous hypergraphs with variable hyperedge sizes. We perform extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, including four benchmark network datasets and two single-cell Hi-C datasets in genomics. We demonstrate that Hyper-SAGNN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on traditional tasks while also achieving great performance on a new task called outsider identification. Hyper-SAGNN will be useful for graph representation learning to uncover complex higher-order interactions in different applications.
