When faced with difficult problems, randomized approximations are a tool commonly employed by quantitative scientists which can offer alternative algorithms and analyses. In this dissertation, we consider a range of problems at the intersection of randomized methods and statistics. Throughout our work, randomized methods are a unifying theme used in the first section to construct tractable approximations and later as tools for automating computational Bayesian statistics.Initially in the first three chapters, we develop novel analyses to recent problems in experimental design, double descent, and random projections by using determinantal point processes (DPP). We first consider approximately optimal Bayesian experimental design using an adaptive row sampling algorithm based on DPPs. In the subsequent chapters, we generalize the proof techniques to study double-descent in over-parameterized least squares linear regression and establish expectation formulae for sub-Gaussian matrix sketching.In the later chapters we focus on probabilistic programming and developing theory and tools to automate statistical inference using randomized algorithms based on Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) and variational inference (VI). We first consider lightweight inference compilation (LIC) whichcombines deep learning with MCMC through parameterizing proposers q(x) by graph neural networks which condition each node on its Markov blanket. The next chapter considers tail anisotropy in multivariate heavy tailed target densities p(x) and proposes fat-tailed variational inferene (FTVI) to approximate them. Our work concludes on the generalized Gamma algebra (GGA), where we address the analysis of fat tails during static analysis of a probabilistic program’s source code. This enables a priori computation of tail parameters, which we show improves the stability and convergence of a number of inference tasks.

Abstract R.A. Fisher has had more influence on the development of statistical theory and practice than any other twentieth-century statistician. His writings (both in paper and book form) have proved to be as relevant to present-day statisticians as they were when first published. This book brings together as a single volume three of Fisher's most influential textbooks: Statistical Methods for Research Workers, The Design of Experiments , and Statistical Methods and Scientific Inference . In this new edition Frank Yates has provided a foreword which sheds fresh light on Fisher's thinking and on the writing and reception of each of the books. He discusses some of the key issues tackled in the three books and reflects on how the ideas expressed have come to permeate modern statistical practice.R.A.

Abstract We examine four core methods and principles of statistical inference and discuss implications among them. This leads to the consideration of some recent methods of obtaining distributions for inference concerning an interest parameter, free of nuisance parameters. A concluding section discusses some current methods for approximating the needed distributions.

There has been increasing interest in the study of networked systems such as biological, technological and social networks in recent years. The purpose of my thesis is to develop and propose new theoretical models and algorithms for analyzing large and complex networks. I focus on introducing two major classes of techniques---statistical inference and spectral methods and how we can apply those techniques to study various networks. Community structures are common in real networks. Identifying community structures in networks may shed insights into how the networks function and offer clear ways for visualizing the networks. Therefore the problem of community detection is very important in the study of networks. Spectral methods, algorithms that make use of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix representations of networks, are important methods for solving community detection problems. My contributions to spectral methods are two folds: I first present a method to analytically compute the graph spectra of a family of networks. Using recent advances in computational random matrix theory, I show that spectral algorithms for community detection in networks are limited by the strength of the embedded signal. My other contribution is extending existing single-step spectral algorithms, which are limited to dividing a network into only two or three communities, to a principled multiway spectral community detection algorithm that divides a network into any number of communities. The algorithm is proven to work better than the widely used k-means heuristic algorithm for multiway spectral community detection. My contributions to statistical inference are coming up with new models with large-scale structures and proposing learning algorithms for fitting real-world networks into those models. In particular, I give an efficient algorithm for identifying core-periphery structures in networks. Core-periphery structures are another type of large-scale structures that are commonly found in real-world networks and they characterize complex sets of interaction between nodes in networked systems. However, a good algorithm for identifying core-periphery structures in networks has been missing. I propose an expectation maximization algorithm for dividing a network into a densely connected core and a loosely connected periphery. The algorithm applies belief propagation for computing the optimal decomposition and is therefore efficient and principled. Lastly, I apply statistical inference methods to the study of dynamic networks. Most real-world networks are dynamic in nature, that is they often change from time to time. There are increasing but yet little research efforts focus on the study of dynamic networks. I propose dynamic generalizations of a number of well-known static network models as well as the corresponding statistical learning algorithms for fitting data into those dynamic network models. I then illustrate the use of the algorithm using both computer-generated networks and real-world examples.

This survey provides an exposition of a suite of techniques based on the theory of polynomials, collectively referred to as polynomial methods, which have recently been applied to address several challenging problems in statistical inference successfully. Topics including polynomial approximation, polynomial interpolation and majorization, moment space and positive polynomials, orthogonal polynomials and Gaussian quadrature are discussed, with their major probabilistic and statistical applications in property estimation on large domains and learning mixture models. These techniques provide useful tools not only for the design of highly practical algorithms with provable optimality, but also for establishing the fundamental limits of the inference problems through the method of moment matching. The effectiveness of the polynomial method is demonstrated in concrete problems such as entropy and support size estimation, distinct elements problem, and learning Gaussian mixture models.

Increasing adoption of low-cost renewable energy technologies can enable global sustainability goals. However, the intermittency of variable resources inhibits broad deployment, necessitating a range of energy management systems including rechargeable batteries (e.g., redox flow batteries (RFBs), lithium-ion batteries). RFBs are particularly attractive because their system architecture enables decoupled energy capacity and power output—along with long service life and simplified maintenance—but their present-day costs remain prohibitively high. A promising pathway to economically competitive RFBs is the use of redox-active organic compounds (RAOs), which can be functionalized to improve battery performance (e.g., cell voltage, energy density). However, state-of-the-art RAOs often decompose during operation, shortening battery lifetime. Understanding and mitigating this decay is thus crucial; corresponding efforts typically rely on ex situ and post mortem analyses to elucidate the decay pathway(s) which, while often successful, may be time-consuming and expensive. These processes may be streamlined by incorporating more real-time studies using in situ or operando electrochemical methods such as voltammetry, a powerful technique able to accurately estimate the composition of an electrolyte solution in an automated fashion. However, proposed voltammetric routines usually do not leverage physical models, meaning they may perform poorly when confronting conditions not included in training data. In this thesis, I seek to advance voltammetric analyses to evaluate the behavior of degrading RAOs by developing physics-informed protocols that leverage statistical inference. I first construct an algorithm that utilizes physical models and Bayesian inference to correctly identify RAOs using multiple techniques in several independently prepared multicomponent solutions in near-real-time (< 5 min). I subsequently estimate the degree to which an electrolyte is charged, as well as the total RAO concentration, with high accuracy (< 4 % average error), in real-time (< 1 min), and in an automated fashion. Finally, I present a protocol that jointly evaluates dissimilar voltammetry techniques to improve the initial compound identification protocol. Through these developments, I lay a foundation for advanced in situ or operando voltammetric methods to aid in understanding, and consequently mitigating, RAO decay; this, in turn, may accelerate the development of new electrochemical technologies for a sustainable energy economy.
