This paper extends Edgeworth-Cornish-Fisher expansions for the distribution and quantiles of nonparametric estimates in two ways. Firstly it allows observations to have different distributions. Secondly it allows the observations to be…
We designed a completely automated Maple ($\geqslant 15$) worksheet for deriving Edgeworth and Cornish-Fisher expansions as well as the acceleration constant of the bootstrap bias-corrected and accelerated technique. It is valid for…
We get the computable error bounds for generalized Cornish-Fisher expansions for quantiles of statistics provided that the computable error bounds for Edgeworth-Chebyshev type expansions for distributions of these statistics are known. The…
Suppose that a target function is monotonic, namely, weakly increasing, and an original estimate of the target function is available, which is not weakly increasing. Many common estimation methods used in statistics produce such estimates.…
We study the distribution of a general class of asymptoticallylinear statistics which are symmetric functions of $N$ independent observations. The distribution functions of these statistics are approximated by an Edgeworth expansion with a…

Edgeworth expansion provides higher-order corrections to the normal approximation for a probability distribution. The classical proof of Edgeworth expansion is via characteristic functions. As a powerful method for distributional…
The paper has two main goals. The first is to take a new approach to rearrangements on certain classes of measurable real-valued functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Rearrangements are maps that are monotonic (up to sets of measure zero) and…
We deal with the shape reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies. For solving this inverse problem in practice, data fitting functionals are used. Those work better than the rigorous monotonicity methods from [5], but have no…
We show how to calculate individual terms of the Edgeworth series to approximate the distribution of the Pearson correlation coefficient with the help of a simple Mathematica program. We also demonstrate how to eliminate the corresponding…
In practice, we often encounter situations where a sample size is not defined in advance and can be a random value. The randomness of the sample size crucially changes the asymptotic properties of the underlying statistic. In the present…
Recently, several authors have studied maps where a function, describing the local diffusion matrix of a diffusion process with a linear drift towards an attraction point, is mapped into the average of that function with respect to the…
The monotone rearrangement of a function is the non-decreasing function with the same distribution. The convex rearrangement of a smooth function is obtained by integrating the monotone rearrangement of its derivative. This operator can be…
Some prominent discretisation methods such as finite elements provide a way to approximate a function of $d$ variables from $n$ values it takes on the nodes $x_i$ of the corresponding mesh. The accuracy is $n^{-s_a/d}$ in $L^2$-norm, where…
We investigate different methods for regularizing quantile regression when predicting either a subset of quantiles or the full inverse CDF. We show that minimizing an expected pinball loss over a continuous distribution of quantiles is a…
In this article we generalize the classical Edgeworth expansion for the probability density function (PDF) of sums of a finite number of symmetric independent identically distributed random variables with a finite variance to sums of…
A simple criterion to optimise coarse-grainings for exact renormalisation group equations is given. It is aimed at improving the convergence of approximate solutions of flow equations. The optimisation criterion is generic, as it refers…
Rerandomization is a modern experimental design technique that repeatedly randomizes treatment assignments until covariates are deemed balanced between treatment groups. This enhances the precision and coherence of causal effect estimators,…
We develop a higher-order asymptotic analysis for the semi-hard triplet loss using the Edgeworth expansion. It is known that this loss function enforces that embeddings of similar samples are close while those of dissimilar samples are…
The purpose of this work is to develop and study a distributed strategy for Pareto optimization of an aggregate cost consisting of regularized risks. Each risk is modeled as the expectation of some loss function with unknown probability…
