Different approaches to weighted voting systems based on preferential positions
Voting systems produce an aggregated result of the individual preferences of the voters. In many cases the aggregated collective preference – the result of the voting procedure – mirrors much more than anything else the characteristics of the voting systems. Preferential voting systems work most of the time with equidistant differences between the adjacent preferences of an individual voter. They produce, as voting systems usually do, some paradoxical results under special circumstances. However,...
Different kinds of sufficiency in the general Gauss-Markov model
Differentiability of excessive functions of one-dimensional diffusions and the principle of smooth fit
The principle of smooth fit is probably the most used tool to find solutions to optimal stopping problems of one-dimensional diffusions. It is important, e.g., in financial mathematical applications to understand in which kind of models and problems smooth fit can fail. In this paper we connect-in case of one-dimensional diffusions-the validity of smooth fit and the differentiability of excessive functions. The basic tool to derive the results is the representation theory of excessive functions;...

Diffusions with measurement errors. I. Local asymptotic normality
We consider a diffusion process which is observed at times for , each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered gaussian with known variance . There is an unknown parameter within the diffusion coefficient, to be estimated. In this first paper the case when is indeed a gaussian martingale is examined: we can prove that the LAN property holds under quite weak smoothness assumptions, with an explicit limiting Fisher information. What is perhaps...
Diffusions with measurement errors. I. Local Asymptotic Normality
We consider a diffusion process X which is observed at times i/n for i = 0,1,...,n, each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered Gaussian with known variance pn. There is an unknown parameter within the diffusion coefficient, to be estimated. In this first paper the case when X is indeed a Gaussian martingale is examined: we can prove that the LAN property holds under quite weak smoothness assumptions, with an explicit limiting Fisher information....
Diffusions with measurement errors. II. Optimal estimators
We consider a diffusion process which is observed at times for , each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered gaussian with known variance . There is an unknown parameter to estimate within the diffusion coefficient. In this second paper we construct estimators which are asymptotically optimal when the process is a gaussian martingale, and we conjecture that they are also optimal in the general case.

Dimensionalidad intrínseca de un conjunto de palabras aisladas.
La Dimensionalidad Intrínseca (DI) de un conjunto de objetos hace referencia al número mínimo de parámetros necesarios para la "generación" de dichos objetos. La estimación de la DI aplicada al caso de las pronunciaciones de palabras presenta interés porque permite obtener una medida escalar conveniente de la dificultad de las distintas tareas de Reconocimiento de Palabras Aisladas. Debido a que el conjunto de objetos a tratar (palabras pronunciadas) no presenta estructura de espacio vectorial,...

Directional quantile regression in Octave (and MATLAB)
Although many words have been written about two recent directional (regression) quantile concepts, their applications, and the algorithms for computing associated (regression) quantile regions, their software implementation is still not widely available, which, of course, severely hinders the dissemination of both methods. Wanting to partly fill in the gap here, we provide all the codes needed for computing and plotting the multivariate (regression) quantile regions in Octave and MATLAB, describe...
Directional quantile regression in R
Recently, the eminently popular standard quantile regression has been generalized to the multiple-output regression setup by means of directional regression quantiles in two rather interrelated ways. Unfortunately, they lead to complicated optimization problems involving parametric programming, and this may be the main obstacle standing in the way of their wide dissemination. The presented R package modQR is intended to address this issue. It originates as a quite faithful translation of the authors'...
Disaggregation of long memory processes on class.
Discontinuity, decision and conflict.
The motivation for this paper arises out of the authors experiences in modelling real decision makers where the decisions show not only a continuous response to a continuously changing environment but also sudden or discontinuous changes. The theoretical basis involves a parametric characterisation of the environment, a decision makers perception of it in terms of a twice differentiable Distribution Function and a bounded Loss Function. Under a specified minimizing dynamic, the resultant Expected...
Discrete generalized Liouville-type distribution and related multivariate distributions.
Discrete analogue of the Liouville distribution is defined and is termed as Discrete Generalized Liouville-Type Distribution (DGL-TD). Firstly, properties in its factorial and ordinary moments are given. Then by finding the covariance matrix, partial and multiple correlations for DGL-TD are evaluated. Multinomial, multivariate negative binomial and multivariate log series distributions are shown as particular cases of this general distribution. The asymptotic distribution of the estimates of the...
Discrete Lundberg-type bounds with actuarial applications
Different kinds of renewal equations repeatedly arise in connection with renewal risk models and variations. It is often appropriate to utilize bounds instead of the general solution to the renewal equation due to the inherent complexity. For this reason, as a first approach to construction of bounds we employ a general Lundberg-type methodology. Second, we focus specifically on exponential bounds which have the advantageous feature of being closely connected to the asymptotic behavior (for large...
