SUMMARY:(Henry Seely White Lecture II)\, Xiao-Li Meng\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday February 13 at 2PM in Rocky 300 for the second of two Henry Seely White Lectures delivered by Professor Xiao-Li Meng\, Harvard University. \nNote:  This is the second of two lectures in the Henry Seely White Lecture Series. The first lecture is on Wednesday February 12 at 4PM. \nTitle: From a Cauchy Surprise to the Half-Cauchy Miracle \nAbstract: This talk follows the path from Pillai and Meng (2016\, Annals of Statistics)\, “An Unexpected Encounter with Cauchy and Lévy\,” to Liu\, Meng\, and Pillai (2025\, arXiv:2501.01065)\, “A Heavily Right Strategy for Integrating Dependent Studies in Any Dimension\,” inviting the audience to join a journey to explore an emerging and mystic force in statistical inference: heavy-tail approximations.
