Dick proved that all dyadic order 2 digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the -discrepancy. We prove this for arbitrary prime base b with an alternative technique using Haar bases. Furthermore, we prove that all digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the discrepancy function in Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness for a certain parameter range, and enlarge that range for order 2 digital nets. The discrepancy function in Triebel-Lizorkin and Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed...
The paper deals with the linear comparative calibration problem, i. e. the situation when both variables are subject to errors. Considered is a quite general model which allows to include possibly correlated data (measurements). From statistical point of view the model could be represented by the linear errors-in-variables (EIV) model. We suggest an iterative algorithm for estimation the parameters of the analysis function (inverse of the calibration line) and we solve the problem of deriving the...
The Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) technique is an important and well-developed area of classification, and to date many linear (and also nonlinear) discrimination methods have been put forward. A complication in applying LDA to real data occurs when the number of features exceeds that of observations. In this case, the covariance estimates do not have full rank, and thus cannot be inverted. There are a number of ways to deal with this problem. In this paper, we propose improving LDA in this...
If an observation vector in a nonlinear regression model is normally distributed, then an algorithm for a determination of the exact -confidence region for the parameter of the mean value of the observation vector is well known. However its numerical realization is tedious and therefore it is of some interest to find some condition which enables us to construct this region in a simpler way.
We study asymptotic behavior of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures. Sometimes the performances of MCMC procedures are poor and there are great importance for the study of such behavior. In this paper we call degeneracy for a particular type of poor performances. We show some equivalent conditions for degeneracy. As an application, we consider the cumulative probit model. It is well known that the natural data augmentation (DA) procedure does not work well for this model and the so-called...
The long memory property of a time series has long been studied and several estimates of the memory or persistence parameter at zero frequency, where the spectral density function is symmetric, are now available. Perhaps the most popular is the log periodogram regression introduced by Geweke and Porter–Hudak [gewe]. In this paper we analyse the asymptotic properties of this estimate in the seasonal or cyclical long memory case allowing for asymmetric spectral poles or zeros. Consistency and asymptotic...
We prove several results concerning the existence of low-discrepancy point sets with respect to an arbitrary non-uniform measure μ on the d-dimensional unit cube. We improve a theorem of Beck, by showing that for any d ≥ 1, N ≥ 1, and any non-negative, normalized Borel measure μ on there exists a point set whose star-discrepancy with respect to μ is of order
.
For the proof we use a theorem of Banaszczyk concerning the balancing of vectors, which implies an upper bound for the linear discrepancy...
