Coarsening in one dimension: invariant and asymptotic states
Emanuel Lazar, Robin Pemantle
We study a coarsening process of one-dimensional cell complexes. We show that if cell boundaries move with velocities proportional to the difference in size of neighboring cells, t…
Partial Information Framework: Model-Based Aggregation of Estimates from Diverse Information Sources
Ville A. Satopää, Shane T. Jensen, Robin Pemantle +1
Prediction polling is an increasingly popular form of crowdsourcing in which multiple participants estimate the probability or magnitude of some future event. These estimates are t…
Distributed Corruption Detection in Networks
Noga Alon, Elchanan Mossel, Robin Pemantle
We consider the problem of distributed corruption detection in networks. In this model, each vertex of a directed graph is either truthful or corrupt. Each vertex reports the type…
Combining Probability Forecasts and Understanding Probability Extremizing through Information Diversity
Ville Satopää, Robin Pemantle, Lyle Ungar
Randomness in scientific estimation is generally assumed to arise from unmeasured or uncontrolled factors. However, when combining subjective probability estimates, heterogeneity s…
