These are lecture notes for the seminar ELEN E9801 Topics in Signal Processing: “Advanced Probabilistic Machine Learning” taught at Columbia University in Fall 2014. They are transcribed almost verbatim from the handwritten lecture notes, and so they preserve the original bulleted structure and are light on the exposition. Some lectures therefore also have a certain amount of reiterating in the...

We analyze in some detail the course of Theoretical Physics held by Ettore Majorana at the University of Naples in 1938, just before his mysterious disappearance. In particular we present the recently discovered ”Moreno Paper”, where all the lecture notes are reported. Six of these lectures are not present in the collection of the original manuscripts conserved at the Domus Galilaeana in Pisa, ...

As we will see, in this simple entry game, multiple equilibria are a typical problem. A literature has pointed out how, typically, the possibility of multiple equilibria in the underlying game leads to the partial identification of the structural model parameters.1 This means that there are multiple values of the structural model parameters which are consistent with the observed data. Econometr...
