Sparse convex clustering is to cluster observations and conduct variable selection simultaneously in the framework of convex clustering. Although a weighted L1L_1 norm is usually employed for the regularization term in sparse convex clustering, its use increases the dependence on the data and reduces the estimation acc…

To integrate strategic, tactical and operational decisions, the two-stage optimization has been widely used to guide dynamic decision making. In this paper, we study the two-stage stochastic programming for complex systems with unknown response estimated by simulation. We introduce the global-local metamodel assisted t…

We prove a global local rigidity result for character varieties of 3-manifolds into SL2\rm{SL}_2. Given a 3-manifold with toric boundary MM satisfying some technical hypotheses, we prove that all but a finite number of its Dehn fillings Mp/qM_{p/q} are globally locally rigid in the following sense: every irreducible repr…

Horseshoe priors improve small area estimation by borrowing strength globally but locally.

problem Improving precision of small area estimators through global-local borrowing of strength.
method Developed a tail-robust horseshoe model for Fay-Herriot small area estimation, using heteroscedastic Tweedie identity and regular variation theory.

The traditional sparse modeling approach, when applied to inverse problems with large data such as images, essentially assumes a sparse model for small overlapping data patches. While producing state-of-the-art results, this methodology is suboptimal, as it does not attempt to model the entire global signal in any mean…
