Uniform strong consistency of a frontier estimator using kernel regression on high order moments

Stéphane Girard, Armelle Guillou, Gilles Stupfler (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider the high order moments estimator of the frontier of a random pair, introduced by [S. Girard, A. Guillou and G. Stupfler, 116 (2013) 172–189]. In the present paper, we show that this estimator is strongly uniformly consistent on compact sets and its rate of convergence is given when the conditional cumulative distribution function belongs to the Hall class of distribution functions.

Nonparametric estimation of the density of the alternative hypothesis in a multiple testing setup. Application to local false discovery rate estimation

Van Hanh Nguyen, Catherine Matias (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In a multiple testing context, we consider a semiparametric mixture model with two components where one component is known and corresponds to the distribution of -values under the null hypothesis and the other component is nonparametric and stands for the distribution under the alternative hypothesis. Motivated by the issue of local false discovery rate estimation, we focus here on the estimation of the nonparametric unknown component in the mixture, relying on a preliminary estimator...

Division in logspace-uniform

Andrew Chiu, George Davida, Bruce Litow (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Beame, Cook and Hoover were the first to exhibit a log-depth, polynomial size circuit family for integer division. However, the family was not logspace-uniform. In this paper we describe log-depth, polynomial size, logspace-uniform, , circuit family for integer division. In particular, by a well-known result this shows that division is in logspace. We also refine the method of the paper to show that division is in dlogtime-uniform .

Bayesian estimation of AR(1) models with uniform innovations

Hocine Fellag, Karima Nouali (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The first-order autoregressive model with uniform innovations is considered. In this paper, we propose a family of BAYES estimators based on a class of prior distributions. We obtain estimators of the parameter which perform better than the maximum likelihood estimator.

Approximate bias for first-order autoregressive model with uniform innovations. Small sample case

Karima Nouali, Hocine Fellag (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The first-order autoregressive model with uniform innovations is considered. The approximate bias of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter is obtained. Also, a formula for the approximate bias is given when a single outlier occurs at a specified time with a known amplitude. Simulation procedures confirm that our formulas are suitable. A small sample case is considered only.

Estimation of second order parameters using probability weighted moments

Julien Worms, Rym Worms (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The P.O.T. method (Peaks Over Threshold) consists in using the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) as an approximation for the distribution of excesses over a high threshold. In this work, we use a refinement of this approximation in order to estimate second order parameters of the model using the method of probability-weighted moments (PWM): in particular, this leads to the introduction of a new estimator for the second order parameter , which will be compared to other recent estimators...

Adaptive estimation of a density function using beta kernels

Karine Bertin, Nicolas Klutchnikoff (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper we are interested in the estimation of a density − defined on a compact interval of ℝ− from independent and identically distributed observations. In order to avoid boundary effect, beta kernel estimators are used and we propose a procedure (inspired by Lepski’s method) in order to select the bandwidth. Our procedure is proved to be adaptive in an asymptotically minimax framework. Our estimator is compared with both the cross-validation algorithm and the oracle estimator...
