Asymptotic distributions οf linear combinations of order statistics

Małgorzata Bogdan (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We study the asymptotic distributions of linear combinations of order statistics (L-statistics) which can be expressed as differentiable statistical functionals and we obtain Berry-Esseen type bounds and the Edgeworth series for the distribution functions of L-statistics. We also analyze certain saddlepoint approximations for the distribution functions of L-statistics.

Asymptotic normality and efficiency of two Sobol index estimators

Alexandre Janon, Thierry Klein, Agnès Lagnoux, Maëlle Nodet, Clémentine Prieur (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Many mathematical models involve input parameters, which are not precisely known. Global sensitivity analysis aims to identify the parameters whose uncertainty has the largest impact on the variability of a quantity of interest (output of the model). One of the statistical tools used to quantify the influence of each input variable on the output is the Sobol sensitivity index. We consider the statistical estimation of this index from a finite sample of model outputs: we present two estimators and...

Asymptotic normality and efficiency of variance components estimators with high breakdown points

Christine H. Müller (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

For estimating the variance components of a one-way random effect model recently Uhlig (1995, 1997) and Lischer (1996) proposed non-iterative estimators with high breakdown points. These estimators base on the high breakdown point scale estimators of Rousseeuw and Croux (1992, 1993), which they called Q-estimators. In this paper the asymptotic normal distribution of the new variance components estimators is derived so that the asymptotic efficiency of these estimators can be compared with that of...

Asymptotic normality in mixture models

Sara Van De Geer (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the estimation of a linear integral functional of a distribution F, using i.i.d. observations which density is a mixture of a family of densities k(.,y) under F. We examine the asymptotic distribution of the estimator obtained by plugging the non parametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) of F in the functional. A problem here is that usually, the NPMLE does not dominate F.
Our main aim here is to show that this can be overcome by considering a convex combination of F and the...
