Inverse eigenvalue problem for discrete Schrödinger operators of a graph
A discrete Schrödinger operator of a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix whose $i,j$-entry, $i \neq j$, is negative if $\{i,j\}$ is an edge and zero if it is not an edge, while diagonal entries can be any real numbers. The discrete Schrödinger operators have been used to study vibration theory and the Colin de Verdière parameter. The inverse eigenvalue problem for discrete Schrödinger operators of a graph aims to characterize the possible spectra among discrete Schrödinger operators of a …

Posterior contraction rates of computational methods for Bayesian data assimilation
In this paper, we analyze posterior consistency of a Bayesian data assimilation problem under discretization. We prove convergence rates for the discrete posterior to ground truth solution under both conforming discretization and finite element discretization (usually non-conforming). The analysis is based on the coupling of asymptotics between the number of samples and the dimension of discrete spaces. In the finite element discretization, tailor-made discrete priors, instead of the discretiza…

A generalised discrete mixture model to better capture preference heterogeneity in discrete choice data
Arguably the key issue in modelling discrete choice data is capturing preference heterogeneity. This can be through observed characteristics, and/or using techniques for capturing random heterogeneity across respondents. On the latter, in health economics, the two main approaches are the mixed multinomial logit (MMNL) and the latent class (LC) model. In this paper, we revisit the discrete mixture (DM) model as a third alternative to these. The DM model is similar to LC but allows for any combin…
