We seek statistical methods to study the occurrence of multiple rain types observed by satellite on a global scale. The main scientific interests are to relate rainfall occurrence with various atmospheric state variables and to study the dependence between the occurrences of multiple types of rainfall (e.g. short-lived and intense versus long-li...

At the heart of every local search procedure is a directed graph on candidate solutions (states) such that every unsatisfying state has at least one outgoing arc. In randomized local search the hope is that a random walk on the graph reaches a satisfying state (sink) quickly. We give a general algorithmic local lemma by establishing a sufficient...

Matrix, tensor, and other factorization techniques are used in a wide range of applications and have enjoyed significant empirical success in many fields. However, common to a vast majority of these problems is the significant disadvantage that the associated optimization problems are typically non-convex due to a multilinear form or other conve...
