En este artículo se estudia el problema de determinar la función de distribución del tiempo de vida de las componentes de un sistema binario, a partir del conocimiento de las leyes que rigen el funcionamiento del sistema y del conjunto de componentes que causa su fallo (obtenida mediante autopsia del sistema en el momento de su deterioro).Se presentan los resultados de Meilijson (1981) y Nowik (1990) que proponen un sistema de ecuaciones implícito para obtener estas distribuciones. Sin embargo,...
We prove the central limit theorem for the integrated square error of multivariate box-spline density estimators.
We present new M-estimators of the mean and variance of real valued random variables, based on PAC-Bayes bounds. We analyze the non-asymptotic minimax properties of the deviations of those estimators for sample distributions having either a bounded variance or a bounded variance and a bounded kurtosis. Under those weak hypotheses, allowing for heavy-tailed distributions, we show that the worst case deviations of the empirical mean are suboptimal. We prove indeed that for any confidence level, there...
We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of signal singularities from indirect and noisy observations. Here by singularity, we mean a discontinuity (change-point) of the signal or of its derivative. The model of indirect observations we consider is that of a linear transform of the signal, observed in white noise. The estimation problem is analyzed in a minimax framework. We provide lower bounds for minimax risks and propose rate-optimal estimation procedures.
We focus on the problem of adaptive estimation of signal singularities from indirect and noisy observations. A typical example of such a singularity is a discontinuity (change-point) of the signal or of its derivative. We develop a change-point estimator which adapts to the unknown smoothness of a nuisance deterministic component and to an unknown jump amplitude. We show that the proposed estimator attains optimal adaptive rates of convergence. A simulation study demonstrates reasonable practical...
A change-point problem is examined from a Bayesian viewpoint, under nonparametric hypotheses. A Ferguson-Dirichlet prior is chosen and the posterior distribution is computed for the change-point and for the unknown distribution functions.
Exponential distributions are characterized by distributional properties of generalized order statistics. These characterizations include known results for ordinary order statistics and record values as particular cases.
We give characterizations of the uniform distribution in terms of moments of order statistics when the sample size is random. Special cases of a random sample size (logarithmic series, geometrical, binomial, negative binomial, and Poisson distribution) are also considered.
-3Properties of spacings of generalized order statistics based on IFR and DFR distributions are shown to characterize exponential distributions.
Power distributions can be characterized by equalities involving three moments of order statistics. Similar equalities involving three moments of k-record values can also be used for such a characterization. The case of samples with random sizes is also considered.
We give characterization conditions for the inverse Weibull distribution and generalized extreme value distributions by moments of kth record values.
We characterize uniform and exponential distributions via moments of the kth record statistics. Too and Lin's (1989) results are contained in our approach.
In this paper we present a simulation study to analyze the behavior of the -divergence test statistics in the problem of goodness-of-fit for loglinear models with linear constraints and multinomial sampling. We pay special attention to the Rényi’s and -divergence measures.
In this article, we begin with an asymptotic comparison at optimal levels of the so-called "maximum likelihood" (ML) extreme value index estimator, based on the excesses over a high random threshold, denoted PORT-ML, with PORT standing for peaks over random thresholds, with a similar ML estimator, denoted PORT-MP, with MP standing for modified-Pareto. The PORT-MP estimator is based on the same excesses, but with a trial of accommodation of bias on the Generalized Pareto model underlying those excesses....
