In this paper we show that for a generic strictly convex domain, one can recover the eigendata corresponding to Aubry–Mather periodic orbits of the induced billiard map from the (maximal) marked length spectrum of the domain.

In linear regression of Y on X(∈ R^p) with parameters 𝛽(∈ R^{p+1}), statistical inference is unreliable when observations are obtained from gross-error model, F_{ϵ,G} = (1 − ϵ)F + ϵG, instead of the assumed probability F;G is gross-error probability, 0 < ϵ < 1. Residual’s influence index (RINFIN) at (x, y) is introduced, with components measuring also the local influence of x in the residual and large value flagging a bad leverage case (from G), thus causing unmasking. Large sample properties of RINFIN are presented to confirm significance of the findings, but often the large difference in the RINFIN scores of the data is indicative. RINFIN is successful with microarray data, simulated, high dimensional data and classic regression data sets. RINFIN’s performance improves as p increases and can be used in multiple response linear regression.

This paper studies a notion of enumerative invariants for stable A-branes, and discusses its relation to invariants defined by spectral and exponential networks. A natural definition of stable A-branes and their counts is provided by the string theoretic origin of the topological A-model. This is the Witten index of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics of a single D3 brane supported on a special Lagrangian in a Calabi-Yau threefold. Geometrically, this is closely related to the Euler characteristic of the A-brane moduli space. Using the natural torus action on this moduli space, we reduce the computation of its Euler characteristic to a count of fixed points via equivariant localization. Studying the A-branes that correspond to fixed points, we make contact with definitions of spectral and exponential networks. We find agreement between the counts defined via the Witten index, and the BPS invariants defined by networks. By extension, our definition also matches with Donaldson-Thomas invariants of B-branes related by homological mirror symmetry.
