Amplitude-Phase Analysis of the COVID-19 Point Process and the Early Countermeasures

Francesco Tripoli, Leonardo V. Santoro, Tomas Masak

We investigate how governmental restrictions relate to the spread and temporal dynamics of COVID-19 early in the pandemic. We model daily infection data from each US state as reali…

Nonparametric Riemannian Empirical Bayes, and Denoising Measurements on Manifolds

Adam Quinn Jaffe, Leonardo V. Santoro, Bodhisattva Sen

We initiate the study of nonparametric empirical Bayes denoising methods in the setting where both the latent variables and their measurements lie on a compact Riemannian manifold,…

Network Learning with Semi-relaxed Gromov-Wasserstein

Charles Dufour, Ulysse Naepels, Leonardo V. Santoro

Estimating the generative mechanism of large-scale networks is a fundamental challenge in statistical machine learning. It requires the identification of the latent connectivity st…

Likelihood Ratio Tests by Kernel Gaussian Embedding

Leonardo V. Santoro, Victor M. Panaretos

We propose a novel kernel-based nonparametric two-sample test, employing the combined use of kernel mean and kernel covariance embedding. Our test builds on recent results showing…

Kernel Embeddings and the Separation of Measure Phenomenon

Leonardo V. Santoro, Kartik G. Waghmare, Victor M. Panaretos

We prove that kernel covariance embeddings lead to information-theoretically perfect separation of distinct continuous probability distributions. In statistical terms, we establish…

Large Deviations Principle for Bures-Wasserstein Barycenters

Adam Quinn Jaffe, Leonardo V. Santoro

We prove the large deviations principle for empirical Bures-Wasserstein barycenters of independent, identically-distributed samples of covariance matrices and covariance operators.…

Statistical Inference for Bures-Wasserstein Flows

Leonardo V. Santoro, Victor M. Panaretos

We develop a statistical framework for conducting inference on collections of time-varying covariance operators (covariance flows) over a general, possibly infinite dimensional, Hi…

Large Sample Theory for Bures-Wasserstein Barycentres

Leonardo V. Santoro, Victor M. Panaretos

We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a…

A Karhunen-Loève Theorem for Random Flows in Hilbert spaces

Leonardo V. Santoro, Kartik G. Waghmare, Victor M. Panaretos

We develop a generalisation of Mercer's theorem to operator-valued kernels in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We then apply our result to deduce a Karhunen-Loève theorem, vali…

Widths of crossings in Poisson Boolean percolation

Ioan Manolescu, Leonardo V. Santoro

We answer the following question: if the occupied (or vacant) set of a planar Poisson Boolean percolation model does contain a crossing of an square, how wide is this c…
