Partial Orders on Partial Isometries
This paper studies three natural pre-orders of increasing generality on the set of all completely non-unitary partial isometries with equal defect indices. We show that the problem of determining when one partial isometry is less than another with respect to these pre-orders is equivalent to the existence of a bounded (or isometric) multiplier between two natural reproducing kernel Hilbert spac...
متن کاملAlpha-Beta Pruning Under Partial Orders
Alpha-beta pruning is the algorithm of choice for searching game trees with position values taken from a totally ordered set, such as the set of real numbers. We generalize to game trees with position values taken from a partially ordered set, and prove necessary and sufficient conditions for alpha-beta pruning to be valid. Specifically, we show that shallow pruning is possible if and only if t...
متن کاملNonparametric Multivariate Descriptive Measures Based on Spatial Quantiles
An appealing way of working with probability distributions, especially in nonparametric inference, is through “descriptive measures” that characterize features of particular interest. One attractive approach is to base the measures on quantiles. Here we consider the multivariate context and utilize the “spatial quantiles”, a recent vector extension of univariate quantiles that is becoming incre...
متن کاملMultivariate quantiles in hydrological frequency analysis
2 Several hydrological phenomena are described by two or more correlated characteristics. 3 These dependent characteristics should be considered jointly to be more representative of the 4 multivariate nature of the phenomenon. Consequently, probabilities of occurrence cannot be 5 estimated on the basis of univariate frequency analysis (FA). The quantile, representing the value 6 of the variable...
متن کاملQuantile tomography: using quantiles with multivariate data
Directional quantile envelopes—essentially, depth contours—are a possible way to condense thedirectional quantile information, the information carried by the quantiles of projections. In typi-cal circumstances, they allow for relatively faithful and straightforward retrieval of the directionalquantiles, offering a straightforward probabilistic interpretation in terms of the tang...
