There is a clear statistical correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation recorded at the surface of our planet, potentially helping to predict ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the broad intersection of data and society. Waymo put it best this past December when the company noted that “deep ...

Most of us know this phenomenon only too well: when it's hot outside, you feel the urge for a cooling ice cream. But would you have thought that mathematics could be involved? Let us explain: The ...

We show that widely used approaches in statistical physics incorrectly indicate the existence of power-law cross-correlations between financial stock market fluctuations measured over several years ...

Correlation networks are frequently used to statistically extract biological interactions between omics markers. Network edge selection is typically based on the statistical significance of the ...

Figures depict examples of simultaneous occurrences of the sporadic Ca + layer and Es on June 2nd and June 4th, 2021, respectively. In the Figure (a) and (b) , the bottom point of the line segment in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the broad intersection of data and society. AI has become a modern goldrush, with every company rushing to sprinkle ...

Statistics is a useful tool for understanding the patterns in the world around us. But our intuition often lets us down when it comes to interpreting those patterns. In this series we look at some of ...

Up to now, it has taken a great deal of computational effort to detect dependencies between more than two high-dimensional variables, in particular when complicated non-linear relationships are ...
