SUMMARY:Statistics and Data Science Seminar Series: "From A Cauchy Surprise to The Half-Cauchy Miracle"
UID:647570@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:From A Cauchy Surprise to The Half-Cauchy Miracle  Xiao-Li Meng\, Whipple V. N. Jones Professor of Statistics\, Harvard University  Abstract: This talk follows the path from Pillai and Meng (2016\, Annals of Statistics)\, “ An unexpected encounter with Cauchy and Levy” to  Liu\, Meng\, and Pillai (2025\, https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.01065) “A Heavily Right Strategy for Integrating Dependent Studies in Any Dimension”\, inviting the audiences to join a journey to explore an emerging and mystic force in principled statistical inference in arbitrarily high dimensions: heavy-tail approximations.  \n\nMore Info: https://statistics.northwestern.edu/events/seminars/fall-seminars.html
