Empirical Bayes Selection for Value Maximization
We study the problem of selecting the best $m$ units from a set of $n$ as $m / n \to α\in (0, 1)$, where noisy, heteroskedastic measurements of the units' true values are available and the decision-maker wishes to maximize the aggregate true value of the units selected. Given a parametric prior distribution, the empirical Bayes decision rule incurs $O_p(n^{-1})$ regret relative to the Bayesian oracle that knows the true prior. More generally, if the error in the estimated prior is of order $O_…

Newman's conjecture for the partition function modulo integers with at least two distinct prime divisors
Let $M$ be a positive integer and $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer $r$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that \[ p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. \] For a positive integer $d$, let $B_{d}$ be the set of positive integers $M$ such that the number of prime divisors of $M$ is $d$. In this paper, we prove that for each positive integer $d$, the density of the set of positive integers $M$ for which Newman's Conj…
