Time-uniform, nonparametric, nonasymptotic confidence sequences
Steven R. Howard, Aaditya Ramdas, Jon McAuliffe +1
A confidence sequence is a sequence of confidence intervals that is uniformly valid over an unbounded time horizon. Our work develops confidence sequences whose widths go to zero,…
Time-uniform Chernoff bounds via nonnegative supermartingales
Steven R. Howard, Aaditya Ramdas, Jon McAuliffe +1
We develop a class of exponential bounds for the probability that a martingale sequence crosses a time-dependent linear threshold. Our key insight is that it is both natural and fr…
Cataloging the Visible Universe through Bayesian Inference at Petascale
Jeffrey Regier, Kiran Pamnany, Keno Fischer +9
Astronomical catalogs derived from wide-field imaging surveys are an important tool for understanding the Universe. We construct an astronomical catalog from 55 TB of imaging data…
