ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let be a Studentized U-statistic. It is proved that a Cramér type moderate deviation ( ≥ )/(1 − Φ()) → 1 holds uniformly in ∈ [0, ( )) when the kernel satisfies some regular conditions.

Model selection and estimation of a component in additive regression

Xavier Gendre (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let  ∈ ℝ be a random vector with mean and covariance matrix where is some known  × -matrix. We construct a statistical procedure to estimate as well as under moment condition on or Gaussian hypothesis. Both cases are developed for known or unknown . Our approach is free from any prior assumption on and is based on non-asymptotic model selection methods....

Computing and proving with pivots

Frédéric Meunier (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

A simple idea used in many combinatorial algorithms is the idea of . Originally, it comes from the method proposed by Gauss in the 19th century for solving systems of linear equations. This method had been extended in 1947 by Dantzig for the famous simplex algorithm used for solving linear programs. From since, a pivoting algorithm is a method exploring subsets of a ground set and going from one subset to a new one ′ by deleting an element inside and adding an element outside : ′ =  ...

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Consider an autoregressive model with measurement error: we observe = + , where the unobserved is a stationary solution of the autoregressive equation = ( ) + . The regression function is known up to a finite dimensional parameter to be estimated. The distributions of and are unknown and...

Fixed-α and fixed-β efficiencies

Christopher S. Withers, Saralees Nadarajah (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Consider testing :  ∈  against :  ∈  for a random sample , ..., from , where and are two disjoint sets of cdfs on ℝ = (−∞, ∞). Two non-local types of efficiencies, referred to as the fixed- and fixed- efficiencies, are introduced for this two-hypothesis testing situation. Theoretical tools are developed to evaluate these efficiencies for some of the most...

Similarity:

We consider complex sample covariance matrices = (1/)* where is a × random matrix with i.i.d. entries , 1 ≤ ≤ , 1 ≤ ≤ , with distribution . Under some regularity and decay assumptions on , we prove universality of some local eigenvalue statistics in the bulk of the spectrum in the limit where → ∞ and lim→∞ / = for any real number ∈ (0, ∞).

Pointwise constrained radially increasing minimizers in the quasi-scalar calculus of variations

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We prove of vector minimizers () =  (||) to multiple integrals ∫ ((), |()|)  on a  ⊂ ℝ, among the Sobolev functions (·) in + (, ℝ), using a  : ℝ×ℝ → [0,∞] with (·) and . Besides such basic hypotheses, (·,·) is assumed to satisfy also...

Easy lambda-terms are not always simple

Alberto Carraro, Antonino Salibra (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

A closed -term is if, for any other closed term , the lambda theory generated by  =  is consistent. Recently, it has been introduced a general technique to prove the easiness of -terms through the semantical notion of simple easiness. Simple easiness implies easiness and allows to prove consistency results construction of suitable filter models of -calculus living in the category of complete partial orderings: given a simple easy term and an arbitrary closed term , it is possible to...

Constraints on distributions imposed by properties of linear forms

Denis Belomestny (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let () be independent identically distributed bivariate vectors and , are two linear forms with positive coefficients. We study two problems: under what conditions does the equidistribution of and imply the same property for and , and under what conditions does the independence of and entail independence of and ? Some analytical sufficient conditions...

Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory

Elena Di Bernardino, Thomas Laloë, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Clémentine Prieur (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () =  {() ≥ }, with  ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () =  { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric...

Corrigendum: Complexity of infinite words associated with beta-expansions

Christiane Frougny, Zuzana Masáková, Edita Pelantová (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We add a sufficient condition for validity of Propo- sition 4.10 in the paper Frougny (2004). This condition is not a necessary one, it is nevertheless convenient, since anyway most of the statements in the paper Frougny (2004) use it.

We consider the standard first passage percolation model in ℤ for  ≥ 2 and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to and whose height is () for a certain height function . We denote this maximal flow by (respectively ). We emphasize the fact that the cylinder may be tilted. We look at the probability that...

As a consequence, if  = ( ,, ) is a -valued random variable with absolutely continuous law, then almost surely (()) has a unique –mean. In particular if ( ...

Alberto Bressan, Ke Han (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Traffic flow is modeled by a conservation law describing the density of cars. It is assumed that each driver chooses his own departure time in order to minimize the sum of a departure and an arrival cost. There are groups of drivers, The -th group consists of drivers, sharing the same departure and arrival costs (), (). For any given population sizes ,, , we prove the existence of a Nash equilibrium solution,...

Universality of slow decorrelation in KPZ growth

Ivan Corwin, Patrik L. Ferrari, Sandrine Péché (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

There has been much success in describing the limiting spatial fluctuations of growth models in the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) universality class. A proper rescaling of time should introduce a non-trivial temporal dimension to these limiting fluctuations. In one-dimension, the KPZ class has the dynamical scaling exponent = 3/2, that means one should find a universal space–time limiting process under the scaling of time as , space like 2/3 and fluctuations like 1/3 as → ∞. In this paper...
