ROTI-GCV: Generalized Cross-Validation for right-ROTationally Invariant Data
Two key tasks in high-dimensional regularized regression are tuning the regularization strength for good predictions and estimating the out-of-sample risk. It is known that the standard approach -- $k$-fold cross-validation -- is inconsistent in modern high-dimensional settings. While leave-one-out and generalized cross-validation remain consistent in some high-dimensional cases, they become inconsistent when samples are dependent or contain heavy-tailed covariates. To model structured sample d…

RUBIES: Evolved Stellar Populations with Extended Formation Histories at $z \sim 7-8$ in Candidate Massive Galaxies Identified with JWST/NIRSpec
The identification of red, apparently massive galaxies at $z>7$ in early JWST photometry suggests a strongly accelerated timeline compared to standard models of galaxy growth. A major uncertainty in the interpretation is whether the red colors are caused by evolved stellar populations, dust, or other effects such as emission lines or AGN. Here we show that three of the massive galaxy candidates at $z=6.7-8.4$ have prominent Balmer breaks in JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy from the RUBIES program. The…

Bayesian composite confidence interval for the tail index under randomly right-censored data
Bayesian composite likelihood estimation of the tail index of a heavy-tailed distribution is addressed when data are randomly right-censored. Maximum a posteriori and mean posterior estimators are constructed under Jeffrey's prior distribution of the tail index. Based on asymptotic results, some confidence regions (CR) for the tail index are constructed using posterior distribution and log-posterior ratio statistic. The proposed confidence regions are investigated via Finite-sample simulations.…

Ergodic Estimation and Model Assessment for Dynamic Exceedance Times
This article concerns the estimation of hitting time statistics for potentially non-stationary processes. The main focus is exceedance times of environmental processes. To this end we consider an empirical estimator based on ergodic theory under the assumption that the considered process is a deterministic transformation of some ergodic process. This estimator is empirically analysed and rigorous convergence results, including a central limit theorem, are covered. Using our estimator, we co…

Weather conditions at Timau National Observatory from ERA5
A new observatory site should be investigated for its local climate conditions to see its potential and limitations. In this respect, we examine several meteorological parameters at the site of Timau National Observatory, Indonesia using the ERA5 dataset from 2002 to 2021. Based on this dataset, we conclude that the surface temperature at Timau is around 18.9 C with a relatively small temperature variation (1.5 C) over the day. This temperature stability is expected to give advantages to the ob…

The multi-layer stochastic block model (multi-layer SBM) is commonly used for community detection in the multi-layer networks. Most of current literature focuses on statistical consistency of community detection methods under multi-layer SBMs. However, the asymptotic distributional properties are also indispensable which play an important role in statistical inference.

Simons Observatory: Observatory Scheduler and Automated Data Processing
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a next-generation ground-based telescope located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, designed to map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with unprecedented precision. The observatory consists of three small aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large aperture telescope (LAT), each optimized for distinct but complementary scientific goals. To achieve these goals, optimized scan strategies have been defined for both the SATs and LAT. This paper describes a software syste…

Asymptotic properties of a multicolored random reinforced urn model with an application to multi-armed bandits
The random self-reinforcement mechanism, characterized by the principle of ``the rich get richer'', has demonstrated significant utility across various domains. One prominent model embodying this mechanism is the random reinforcement urn model. This paper investigates a multicolored, multiple-drawing variant of the random reinforced urn model. We establish the limiting behavior of the normalized urn composition and demonstrate strong convergence upon scaling the counts of each color. Additional…

The MIRI/MRS Library I. Empirically correcting detector charge migration in unresolved sources
The JWST has been collecting scientific data for over two years now. Scientists are now looking deeper into the data, which introduces the need to correct known systematic effects. Important limiting factors for the MIRI/MRS are the pointing accuracy, non-linearity, detector charge migration, detector scattering, the accuracy of the PSF model, and the complex interplay between these. The Cycle 2 programme 3779 proposed a 72-point intra-pixel dither raster of the calibration star 10-Lac. In this…

The skew-symmetric-Laplace-uniform distribution
Laplace distribution is popular in the field of economics and finance. Still, data sets often show a lack of symmetry and a tendency of being bounded from either side of their support. In view of this, we introduce a new family of skew distribution using the skewing mechanism of Azzalini (1985), namely, skew-symmetric-Laplace-uniform distribution (SSLUD). Here uniform distribution is used not only to introduce skewness in Laplace distribution but also to restrict distribution support on one sid…

Astronomical Spectroscopy with Skipper CCDs: First Results from a Skipper CCD Focal Plane Prototype at SIFS
We present the first on-sky results from an ultra-low-readout-noise Skipper CCD focal plane prototype for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). The Skipper CCD focal plane consists of four 6k x 1k, 15 $μ$m pixel, fully-depleted, p-channel devices that have been thinned to ~250 $μ$m, backside processed, and treated with an anti-reflective coating. These Skipper CCDs were configured for astronomical spectroscopy, i.e., single-sample readout noise < 4.3 e- rms/pixel, the ability to achiev…

Some theoretical foundations for the design and analysis of randomized experiments
Neyman[106]'s seminal work in 1923 has been a milestone in statistics over the century, which has motivated many fundamental statistical concepts and methodology. In this review, we delve into Neyman[106]'s groundbreaking contribution and offer technical insights into the design and analysis of randomized experiments. We shall review the basic setup of completely randomized experiments and the classical approaches for inferring the average treatment effects. We shall in particular review more e…

Improving the Accuracy of Halo Mass Based Statistics For Fast Approximate N-body Simulations
Approximate N-body methods, such as FastPM and COLA, have been successful in modelling halo and galaxy clustering statistics, but their low resolution on small scales is a limitation for applications that require high precision. Full N-body simulations can provide better accuracy but are too computationally expensive for a quick exploration of cosmological parameters. This paper presents a method for correcting distinct haloes identified in fast N-body simulations, so that various halo statisti…

A Fine-grained Analysis of Fitted Q-evaluation: Beyond Parametric Models
In this paper, we delve into the statistical analysis of the fitted Q-evaluation (FQE) method, which focuses on estimating the value of a target policy using offline data generated by some behavior policy. We provide a comprehensive theoretical understanding of FQE estimators under both parameteric and nonparametric models on the $Q$-function. Specifically, we address three key questions related to FQE that remain largely unexplored in the current literature: (1) Is the optimal convergence rate…

The Focal-plane Actualized Shifted Technique Realized for a Shack Hartmann Wavefront Sensor (fastrSHWFS)
Astronomical adaptive optics (AO) is a critical approach to enable ground-based diffraction-limited imaging and high contrast science, with the potential to enable habitable exoplanet imaging on future extremely large telescopes. However, AO systems must improve significantly to enable habitable exoplanet imaging. Time lag between the end of an exposure and end of deformable mirror commands being applied in an AO loop is now the dominant error term in many extreme AO systems (e.g., Poyneer et a…

The European Low Frequency Survey on the Simons Array
In this paper we present the European Low Frequency Survey (ELFS), a project that will enable foregrounds-free measurements of the primordial $B$-mode polarization and a detection of the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, to a level $σ(r) = 0.001$ by measuring the Galactic and extra-galactic emissions in the 5--120\,GHz frequency window. Indeed, the main difficulty in measuring the B-mode polarization comes from the fact that many other processes in the Universe also emit polarized microwaves, which…
