Installing wheels on a tortoise might seem like a cruel joke--but a veterinary practice in the Philippines recently did so to help out an Aldabra giant tortoise () with troubled hind legs. As the name suggests, Aldabra giant tortoises are among the largest land tortoises. Also referred to as the Aldabra tortoise or giant tortoise, this reptile can weigh up to 550 pounds and can live over 150 years.

Computational models support high-stakes decisions across engineering and science, and practitioners increasingly seek probabilistic predictions to quantify uncertainty in such models. Existing approaches generate predictions either by sampling input parameter distributions or by augmenting deterministic outputs with uncertainty representations, including distribution-free and distributional methods. However, sampling-based methods are often computationally prohibitive for real-time applications, and many existing uncertainty representations either ignore input dependence or rely on restrictive Gaussian assumptions that fail to capture asymmetry and heavy-tailed behavior. Therefore, we extend the ACCurate and Reliable Uncertainty Estimate (ACCRUE) framework to learn input-dependent, non-Gaussian uncertainty distributions, specifically two-piece Gaussian and asymmetric Laplace forms, using a neural network trained with a loss function that balances predictive accuracy and reliability. Through synthetic and real-world experiments, we show that the proposed approach captures an input-dependent uncertainty structure and improves probabilistic forecasts relative to existing methods, while maintaining flexibility to model skewed and non-Gaussian errors.

Causal discovery from observational data remains a fundamental challenge in machine learning and statistics, particularly when variables represent inherently positive quantities such as gene expression levels, asset prices, company revenues, or population counts, which often follow multiplicative rather than additive dynamics. We propose the Hybrid Moment-Ratio Scoring (H-MRS) algorithm, a novel method for learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from positive-valued data by combining moment-based scoring with log-scale regression. The key idea is that for positive-valued variables, the moment ratio $\frac{\mathbb{E}[X_j^2]}{\mathbb{E}[(\mathbb{E}[X_j \mid S])^2]}$ provides an effective criterion for causal ordering, where $S$ denotes candidate parent sets. H-MRS integrates log-scale Ridge regression for moment-ratio estimation with a greedy ordering procedure based on raw-scale moment ratios, followed by Elastic Net-based parent selection to recover the final DAG structure. Experiments on synthetic log-linear data demonstrate competitive precision and recall. The proposed method is computationally efficient and naturally respects positivity constraints, making it suitable for applications in genomics and economics. These results suggest that combining log-scale modeling with raw-scale moment ratios provides a practical framework for causal discovery in positive-valued domains.

This article proposes a biconvex modification to convex biclustering in order to improve its performance in high-dimensional settings. In contrast to heuristics that discard a subset of noisy features a priori, our method jointly learns and accordingly weighs informative features while discovering biclusters. Moreover, the method is adaptive to the data, and is accompanied by an efficient algorithm based on proximal alternating minimization, complete with detailed guidance on hyperparameter tuning and efficient solutions to optimization subproblems. These contributions are theoretically grounded; we establish finite-sample bounds on the objective function under sub-Gaussian errors, and generalize these guarantees to cases where input affinities need not be uniform. Extensive simulation results reveal our method consistently recovers underlying biclusters while weighing and selecting features appropriately, outperforming peer methods. An application to a gene microarray dataset of lymphoma samples recovers biclusters matching an underlying classification, while giving additional interpretation to the mRNA samples via the column groupings and fitted weights.

Sequential experimental design under expensive, gradient-free objectives is a central challenge in computational statistics: evaluation budgets are tightly constrained and information must be extracted efficiently from each observation. We propose \textbf{ALMAB-DC}, a GP-based sequential design framework combining active learning, multi-armed bandits (MAB), and distributed asynchronous computing for expensive black-box experimentation. A Gaussian process surrogate with uncertainty-aware acquisition identifies informative query points; a UCB or Thompson-sampling bandit controller allocates evaluations across parallel workers; and an asynchronous scheduler handles heterogeneous runtimes. We present cumulative regret bounds for the bandit components and characterize parallel scalability via Amdahl's Law. We validate ALMAB-DC on five benchmarks. On the two statistical experimental-design tasks, ALMAB-DC achieves lower simple regret than Equal Spacing, Random, and D-optimal designs in dose--response optimization, and in adaptive spatial field estimation matches the Greedy Max-Variance benchmark while outperforming Latin Hypercube Sampling; at $K=4$ the distributed setting reaches target performance in one-quarter of sequential wall-clock rounds. On three ML/engineering tasks (CIFAR-10 HPO, CFD drag minimization, MuJoCo RL), ALMAB-DC achieves 93.4\% CIFAR-10 accuracy (outperforming BOHB by 1.7\,pp and Optuna by 1.1\,pp), reduces airfoil drag to $C_D = 0.059$ (36.9\% below Grid Search), and improves RL return by 50\% over Grid Search. All advantages over non-ALMAB baselines are statistically significant under Bonferroni-corrected Mann--Whitney $U$ tests. Distributed execution achieves $7.5\times$ speedup at $K = 16$ agents, consistent with Amdahl's Law.
