  • The integrated nested Laplace approximation applied to spatial log-Gaussian Cox process models 

    Flagg, Kenneth; Hoegh, Andrew (Informa UK Limited, 2023-04)

    We study the moduli stack of degree $0$ semistable $G$-bundles on an irreducible curve $E$ of arithmetic genus $1$, where $G$ is a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. Our main result describes a partition ...
  • Combining Dynamic Bayesian Networks and Continuous Time Bayesian Networks for Diagnostic and Prognostic Modeling 

    Schupbach, Jordan; Pryor, Elliott; Webster, Kyle; Sheppard, John (IEEE, 2022-08)
    The problem of performing general prognostics and health management, especially in electronic systems, continues to present significant challenges. The low availability of failure data, makes learning generalized models ...

    Understanding how the structure of within-system interactions affects the dynamics of the system is important in many areas of science. We extend a network dynamics modeling platform DSGRN, which combinatorializes both ...
  • Quantifying the role of airborne transmission in the spread of COVID-19 

    Hayden, Matthew; Morrow, Bryce; Yang, Wesley; Wang, Jin (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022-01)
    There is an ongoing debate on the different transmission modes of SARS-CoV-2 and their relative contributions to the pandemic. In this paper, we employ a simple mathematical model, which incorporates both the human-to-human ...
  • Encountering ideas about teaching and learning mathematics in undergraduate mathematics courses 

    Burroughs, Elizabeth A.; Arnold, Elizabeth G.; Álvarez, James A. M.; Kercher, Andrew; Tremaine, Rachel; Fulton, Elizabeth; Turner, Kyle (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-01)
    We study the ideas about teaching and learning mathematics that undergraduate students generate when they encounter tasks designed to embed approximations of teaching practice in mathematics courses taken by a general ...
  • Extremal event graphs: A (stable) tool for analyzing noisy time series data 

    Belton, Robin; Cummins, Bree; Gedeon, Tomáš; Fasy, Brittany Terese (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2023-01)
    Local maxima and minima, or extremal events, in experimental time series can be used as a coarse summary to characterize data. However, the discrete sampling in recording experimental measurements suggests uncertainty on ...
  • Mapping the number of female sex workers in countries across sub-Saharan Africa 

    Laga, Ian; Niu, Xiaoyue; Rucinski, Katherine; Baral, Stefan; Rao, Amrita; Chen, David; Viswasam, Nikita; Phaswana-Mafuya, Nancy Refilwe; Diouf, Daouda; Sabin, Keith; Zhao, Jinkou; Eaton, Jeffrey W.; Bao, Le (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023-01)
    Female sex workers (FSW) are affected by individual, network, and structural risks, making them vulnerable to poor health and well-being. HIV prevention strategies and local community-based programs can rely on estimates ...
  • The finiteness conjecture for skein modules 

    Gunningham, Sam; Jordan, David; Safronov, Pavel (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-12)
    We give a new, algebraically computable formula for skein modules of closed 3-manifolds via Heegaard splittings. As an application, we prove that skein modules of closed 3-manifolds are finite-dimensional, resolving in the ...
