The last years have seen the proof of many results concerning the prime numbers. We will show how these results are all related to linear equations with prime indeterminates, and from then on, recount the history of the quantitative version of the...

In this talk, several semiparametric extensions of the traditional parametric finite mixture models are introduced. Mixture models are widely used when the population consists of several homogeneous subgroups. Currently most of mixture models...

We introduce a nonparametric method for estimating non-gaussian graphical models based on a new statistical relation called additive conditional independence, which is a three-way relation among random vectors that resembles the logical structure of...
