Edgeworth expansions for a sample sum from a finite set of independent random variables.
Effective WLLN, SLLN and CLT in statistical models
Weak laws of large numbers (WLLN), strong laws of large numbers (SLLN), and central limit theorems (CLT) in statistical models differ from those in probability theory in that they should hold uniformly in the family of distributions specified by the model. If a limit law states that for every ε > 0 there exists N such that for all n > N the inequalities |ξₙ| < ε are satisfied and N = N(ε) is explicitly given then we call the law effective. It is trivial to obtain an effective statistical...

Empirical analysis of current status data for additive hazards model with auxiliary covariates
In practice, it often occurs that some covariates of interest are not measured because of various reasons, but there may exist some auxiliary information available. In this case, an issue of interest is how to make use of the available auxiliary information for statistical analysis. This paper discusses statistical inference problems in the context of current status data arising from an additive hazards model with auxiliary covariates. An empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic for the regression...

Estimation des densités : risque minimax
Estimators for epidemic alternatives
We introduce and study the behavior of estimators of changes in the mean value of a sequence of independent random variables in the case of so called epidemic alternatives which is one of the variants of the change point problem. The consistency and the limit distribution of the estimators developed for this situation are shown. Moreover, the classical estimators used for `at most change' are examined for the studied situation.

Expansions for the distribution of M-estimates with applications to the Multi-Tone problem
We give a stochastic expansion for estimates that minimise the arithmetic mean of (typically independent) random functions of a known parameterθ. Examples include least squares estimates, maximum likelihood estimates and more generally M-estimates. This is used to obtain leading cumulant coefficients of needed for the Edgeworth expansions for the distribution and densityn1/2θ0) to magnitude n−3/2 (or to n−2 for the symmetric case), where θ0 is the true parameter value and n is typically the...

Exponential deficiency of convolutions of densities
If a probability density p(x) (x ∈ ℝk) is bounded and R(t) := ∫e〈x, tu〉p(x)dx < ∞ for some linear functional u and all t ∈ (0,1), then, for each t ∈ (0,1) and all large enough n, the n-fold convolution of the t-tilted density ˜pt := e〈x, tu〉p(x)/R(t) is bounded. This is a corollary of a general, “non-i.i.d.” result, which is also shown to enjoy a certain optimality property. Such results and their corollaries stated in terms of the absolute integrability of the corresponding characteristic...

Extremal and additive processes generated by Pareto distributed random vectors
Pareto distributions are most popular for modeling heavy tailed data. Here, we obtain weak limits of a sequence of extremal and a sequence of additive processes constructed by a series of Bernoulli point processes with bivariate Pareto space components. For the limiting processes we derive the one dimensional distributions in explicit forms. Some of the main properties of these distributions are also proved.
Extreme order statistics in an equally correlated Gaussian array
This paper contains the results concerning the weak convergence of d-dimensional extreme order statistics in a Gaussian, equally correlated array. Three types of limit distributions are found and sufficient conditions for the existence of these distributions are given.
