Multiple hypothesis testing requires a control procedure: the error probabilities in statistical testing compound when several tests are performed for the same conclusion. A common type of multiple hypothesis testing error rates is the FamilyWise Error Rate (FWER) which measures the probability that any one of the performed tests rejects its null hypothesis erroneously. These are often controlled using Bonferroni’s method or later more sophisticated approaches all of which involve replacing the test level α with α/k, reducing it by a factor of the number of simultaneous tests performed. Common paradigms for hypothesis testing in persistent homology are often based on permutation testing, however increasing the number of permutations to meet a Bonferroni-style threshold can be prohibitively expensive. In this paper we propose a null model based approach to testing for acyclicity (ie trivial homology), coupled with a Family-Wise Error Rate (FWER) control method that does not suffer from these computational costs.

The oscillations observed in many time series, particularly in biomedicine, exhibit morphological variations over time. These morphological variations are caused by intrinsic or extrinsic changes to the state of the generating system, henceforth referred to as dynamics. To model these time series (including and specifically pathophysiological ones) and estimate the underlying dynamics, we provide a novel wave-shape oscillatory model. In this model, time-dependent variations in cycle shape occur along a manifold called the wave-shape manifold. To estimate the wave-shape manifold associated with an oscillatory time series, study the dynamics, and visualize the time-dependent changes along the wave-shape manifold, we apply the well-established diffusion maps (DM) algorithm to the set of all observed oscillations. We provide a theoretical guarantee on the dynamical information recovered by the DM algorithm under the proposed model. Applying the proposed model and algorithm to arterial blood pressure (ABP) signals recorded during general anesthesia leads to the extraction of nociception information. Applying the wave-shape oscillatory model and the DM algorithm to cardiac cycles in the electrocardiogram (ECG) leads to ectopy detection and a new ECG-derived respiratory signal, even when the subject has atrial fibrillation.

We apply persistent homology, the dominant tool from the field of topological data analysis, to study electoral redistricting. Our method combines the geographic information from a political districting plan with election data to produce a persistence diagram. We are then able to visualize and analyze large ensembles of computer-generated districting plans of the type commonly used in modern redistricting research (and court challenges). We set out three applications: zoning a state at each scale of districting, comparing elections, and seeking signals of gerrymandering. Our case studies focus on redistricting in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, two states whose legal challenges to enacted plans have raised considerable public interest in the last few years. To address the question of robustness of the persistence diagrams to perturbations in vote data and in district boundaries, we translate the classical stability theorem of Cohen--Steiner et al. into our setting and find that it can be phrased in a manner that is easy to interpret. We accompany the theoretical bound with an empirical demonstration to illustrate diagram stability in practice.

We consider a combined state and drift estimation problem for the linear stochastic heat equation. The infinite-dimensional Bayesian inference problem is formulated in terms of the Kalman-Bucy filter over an extended state space, and its long-time asymptotic properties are studied. Asymptotic posterior contraction rates in the unknown drift function are the main contribution of this paper. Such rates have been studied before for stationary non-parametric Bayesian inverse problems, and here we demonstrate the consistency of our time-dependent formulation with these previous results building upon scale separation and a slow manifold approximation.

This paper presents mathematical results in support of the methodology of the probabilistic learning on manifolds (PLoM) recently introduced by the authors, which has been used with success for analyzing complex engineering systems. The PLoM considers a given initial dataset constituted of a small number of points given in an Euclidean space, which are interpreted as independent realizations of a vector-valued random variable for which its non-Gaussian probability measure is unknown but is, textit{a priori}, concentrated in an unknown subset of the Euclidean space. The objective is to construct a learned dataset constituted of additional realizations that allow the evaluation of converged statistics. A transport of the probability measure estimated with the initial dataset is done through a linear transformation constructed using a reduced-order diffusion-maps basis. In this paper, it is proven that this transported measure is a marginal distribution of the invariant measure of a reduced-order Ito stochastic differential equation that corresponds to a dissipative Hamiltonian dynamical system. This construction allows for preserving the concentration of the probability measure. This property is shown by analyzing a distance between the random matrix constructed with the PLoM and the matrix representing the initial dataset, as a function of the dimension of the basis. It is further proven that this distance has a minimum for a dimension of the reduced-order diffusion-maps basis that is strictly smaller than the number of points in the initial dataset. Finally, a brief numerical application illustrates the mathematical results.

We introduce a new multilevel ensemble Kalman filter method (MLEnKF) which consists of a hierarchy of independent samples of ensemble Kalman filters (EnKF). This new MLEnKF method is fundamentally different from the preexisting method introduced by Hoel, Law and Tempone in 2016, and it is suitable for extensions towards multi-index Monte Carlo based filtering methods. Robust theoretical analysis and supporting numerical examples show that under appropriate regularity assumptions, the MLEnKF method has better complexity than plain vanilla EnKF in the large-ensemble and fine-resolution limits, for weak approximations of quantities of interest. The method is developed for discrete-time filtering problems with finite-dimensional state space and linear observations polluted by additive Gaussian noise.
