Interpolating between Random Walks and Shortest Paths: a Path Functional Approach
François Bavaud, Guillaume Guex
General models of network navigation must contain a deterministic or drift component, encouraging the agent to follow routes of least cost, as well as a random or diffusive compone…
Euclidean Distances, soft and spectral Clustering on Weighted Graphs
François Bavaud
We define a class of Euclidean distances on weighted graphs, enabling to perform thermodynamic soft graph clustering. The class can be constructed form the "raw coordinates" encoun…
Stereotype bias: a simple formal model
François Bavaud
Minimizing the relative inertia of a statistical group with respect to the inertia of the overall sample defines an unique point, the in-focus, which constitutes a context-dependen…
On the Schoenberg Transformations in Data Analysis: Theory and Illustrations
François Bavaud
The class of Schoenberg transformations, embedding Euclidean distances into higher dimensional Euclidean spaces, is presented, and derived from theorems on positive definite and co…
Relative Entropy and Statistics
François Bavaud
Formalising the confrontation of opinions (models) to observations (data) is the task of Inferential Statistics. Information Theory provides us with a basic functional, the relativ…
