September 14, 2026 -Adaptive Experimental Design using Shrinkage Estimators (Evan Rosenman, Claremont McKenna College)
Adaptive Experimental Design using Shrinkage Estimators (Evan Rosenman, Claremont McKenna College)
In multi-armed trials, adaptive designs are a popular way to increase estimation efficiency or identify optimal treatments. Many recent papers have proposed adaptive methods for minimizing the error of unbiased estimators that consider each treatment arm in isolation. This approach may be inefficient, because it fails to borrow shared information across the treatment arms. We […]

September 15, 2026 -Kloosterman sums and Bessel functions (Robert Cass, CMC)
Kloosterman sums and Bessel functions (Robert Cass, CMC)
Kloosterman sums are explicit exponential sums which occur in several contexts in number theory and arithmetic geometry. Bessel functions encode a great deal of representation-theoretic information about finite groups of Lie type, but they are difficult to compute in general. In this talk, we will carefully define these objects and describe a direct relationship between […]
