This is the fourth, and final, of my columns on the Topology, Probability, and Statistics triad. You might recall that the common thread was TDA, or Topological Data Analysis. I started by advertising TDA in a casual commercial for the IMS community, continued with some…
Robert Adler presents the third in his series of four articles on TOPOS, Topology, Probability and Statistics:
This month, I want to direct most of my words to my fellow probabilists, and, ultimately, to issue them a challenge. Accepting the challenge will, I am certain, benefit all of the three…
Robert Adler continues his series of articles on Topology, Probability and Statistics:
In my previous column (in the March 2014 issue) I introduced TOPOS as an acronym for Topology, Probability and Statistics, and promised three more columns to convince you that this combination is, today, producing elegant mathematics, powerful…
Robert Adler writes in the first of a new series of columns:
To pure mathematicians, a topos is a type of category that behaves like the category of sheaves on a topological space. (I’ll bet that this definition didn’t help many IMS members very much. It certainly doesn’t ‘do it’…
