Abstract: The Poisson-binomial probability density function (pdf) describes the numbers of successes in N independent trials, when the individual probabilities of ...

Got heel pain? You're not alone. A growing number of runners are experiencing plantar fasciitis. Here's why—and what you can ...

The record for most goals scored in a World Cup tournament is 172, but that could be broken by the time the group stages wrap ...

Abstract: Gamma-ray imaging attempts to reconstruct the spatial and intensity distribution of gamma-emitting radionuclides from a set of measurements. Generally, this problem is solved by discretizing ...

The word 'statistics' has two meanings—the use of numbers to describe whole patterns of activity (for example, baseball statistics), and the analytic methods that allow manipulation of such data. The ...

This project uses historical Fifa World Cup data, feature engineering, and trained Random Forest models to estimate the expected goals and create realistic score probabilities.

A team of astrophysicists has just published in Nature a finding that calls into question one of the pillars of modern ...

What are each national team’s chances of winning the World Cup? We’ve built a statistical model to try to answer that question rigorously. The model works in two steps: first we measure each team’s ...

Abstract: When capturing and storing images, devices inevitably introduce noise. Reducing this noise is a critical task called image denoising. Deep learning has become the de facto method for image ...

What began with a focus on weather forecasting has evolved toward addressing errors in scientific modeling. In the collaborative environment of the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data ...
