Shape Fitting on Point Sets with Probability Distributions
We consider problems on data sets where each data point has uncertainty described by an individual probability distribution. We develop several frameworks and algorithms for calcul...

Computability of Probability Distributions and Distribution Functions
We define the computability of probability distributions on the real line as well as that of distribution functions. Mutual relationships between the computability notion of a pro...

The Earth Mover's Distance is the Mallows Distance: Some Insights from Statistics
The Earth Mover's distance was first introduced as a purely empirical way to measure texture and color similarities. We show that it has a rigorous probabilistic interpretati...
