Spectral Entropy via Random Spanning Forests
Carlo Nicolini
We establish an exact analytic relation between random spanning forests and the heat-kernel partition function. This identity enables estimation of partition functions, energies, a…
skfolio: Portfolio Optimization in Python
Carlo Nicolini, Matteo Manzi, Hugo Delatte
Portfolio optimization is a fundamental challenge in quantitative finance, requiring robust computational tools that integrate statistical rigor with practical implementation. We p…
Statistical physics of complex information dynamics
Arsham Ghavasieh, Carlo Nicolini, Manlio De Domenico
The constituents of a complex system exchange information to function properly. Their signalling dynamics often leads to the appearance of emergent phenomena, such as phase transit…
Thermodynamics of network model fitting with spectral entropies
Carlo Nicolini, Vladimir Vlasov, Angelo Bifone
An information theoretic approach inspired by quantum statistical mechanics was recently proposed as a means to optimize network models and to assess their likelihood against synth…
Graph analysis and modularity of brain functional connectivity networks: searching for the optimal threshold
Cécile Bordier, Carlo Nicolini, Angelo Bifone
Neuroimaging data can be represented as networks of nodes and edges that capture the topological organization of the brain connectivity. Graph theory provides a general and powerfu…
Community detection in weighted brain connectivity networks beyond the resolution limit
Carlo Nicolini, Cécile Bordier, Angelo Bifone
Graph theory provides a powerful framework to investigate brain functional connectivity networks and their modular organization. However, most graph-based methods suffer from a fun…
