Introduction to Random Fields

Moo K. Chung

英文摘要：

General linear models (GLM) are often constructed and used in statistical inference at the voxel level in brain imaging. In this paper, we explore the basics of random fields and the multiple comparisons on the random fields, which are necessary to properly threshold statistical maps for the whole image at specific statistical significance level. The multiple comparisons are crucial in determining overall statistical significance in correlated test statistics over the whole brain. In practice, t- or F-statistics in adjacent voxels are correlated. So there is the problem of multiple comparisons, which we have simply neglected up to now. For multiple comparisons that account for spatially correlated test statistics, various methods were proposed: Bonferroni correction, random field theory, false discovery rates and permutation tests. Among them, we will explore the random field approach.

Optimality regions for designs in multiple linear regression models with correlated random coefficients

This paper studies optimal designs for linear regression models with correlated effects for single responses. We introduce the concept of rhombic design to reduce the computational complexity and find a semi-algebraic description for the D-optimality of a rhombic design via the Kiefer-Wolfowitz equivalence theorem. Subsequently, we show that the structure of an optimal rhombic design depends directly on the correlation structure of the random coefficients.

A note on the distribution of the product of zero mean correlated normal random variables

The problem of finding an explicit formula for the probability density function of two zero mean correlated normal random variables dates back to 1936. Perhaps surprisingly, this problem was not resolved until 2016. This is all the more surprising given that a very simple proof is available, which is the subject of this note; we identify the product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables as a variance-gamma random variable, from which an explicit formula for probability density function is immediate.

Stein's method and the distribution of the product of zero mean correlated normal random variables

Over the last 80 years there has been much interest in the problem of finding an explicit formula for the probability density function of two zero mean correlated normal random variables. Motivated by this historical interest, we use a recent technique from the Stein's method literature to obtain a simple new proof, which also serves as an exposition of a general method that may be useful in related problems.

Inequality for Variance of Weighted Sum of Correlated Random Variables and WLLN

The upper bound inequality for variance of weighted sum of correlated random variables is derived according to Cauchy-Schwarz's inequality, while the weights are non-negative with sum of 1. We also give a novel proof with positive semidefinite matrix method. And the variance inequality of sum of correlated random variable with general weights is also obtained. Then, the variance inequalities are applied to the Chebyshev's inequality and sufficient condition of weak law of large numbers (WLLN) for sum of correlated random variables .

The basic distributional theory for the product of zero mean correlated normal random variables

The product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables, and more generally the sum of independent copies of such random variables, has received much attention in the statistics literature and appears in many application areas. However, many important distributional properties are yet to be recorded. This review paper fills this gap by providing the basic distributional theory for the sum of independent copies of the product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables. Properties covered include probability and cumulative distribution functions, generating functions, moments an…

An upper bound and a characterization for Gini's mean difference based on correlated random variables

In this paper, we obtain an upper bound for the Gini mean difference based on mean, variance and correlation for the case when the variables are correlated. We also derive some closed-form expressions for the Gini mean difference when the random variables have an absolutely continuous joint distribution. We then examine some particular examples based on elliptically contoured distributions, and specifically multivariate normal and Student-$t$ distributions.

Correlated continuous time random walks

Continuous time random walks impose a random waiting time before each particle jump. Scaling limits of heavy tailed continuous time random walks are governed by fractional evolution equations. Space-fractional derivatives describe heavy tailed jumps, and the time-fractional version codes heavy tailed waiting times. This paper develops scaling limits and governing equations in the case of correlated jumps. For long-range dependent jumps, this leads to fractional Brownian motion or linear fractional stable motion, with the time parameter replaced by an inverse stable subordinator in the case of …

Matching Correlated Inhomogeneous Random Graphs using the $k$-core Estimator

Northwestern University（西北大学）；Princeton University（普林斯顿大学）

We consider the task of estimating the latent vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs with generic, inhomogeneous structure. We study the so-called \emph{$k$-core estimator}, which outputs a vertex correspondence that induces a large, common subgraph of both graphs which has minimum degree at least $k$. We derive sufficient conditions under which the $k$-core estimator exactly or partially recovers the latent vertex correspondence. Finally, we specialize our general framework to derive new results on exact and partial recovery in correlated stochastic block models, corr…

Matching recovery threshold for correlated random graphs

For two correlated graphs which are independently sub-sampled from a common Erdős-Rényi graph $\mathbf{G}(n, p)$, we wish to recover their \emph{latent} vertex matching from the observation of these two graphs \emph{without labels}. When $p = n^{-α+o(1)}$ for $α\in (0, 1]$, we establish a sharp information-theoretic threshold for whether it is possible to correctly match a positive fraction of vertices. Our result sharpens a constant factor in a recent work by Wu, Xu and Yu.
