In this paper we prove a strong law of large numbers and its L^1-convergence counterpart for the process counted with a random characteristic in the context of self-similar fragmentation processes. This result extends a somewhat analogical…

Gibbs-type random probability measures, or Gibbs-type priors, are arguably the most "natural" generalization of the celebrated Dirichlet prior. Among them the two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet prior certainly stands out for the mathematical…

We consider a collection of weakly interacting diffusion processes moving in a two-scale locally periodic environment. We study the large deviations principle of the empirical distribution of the particles' positions in the combined limit…

In longitudinal studies, it is not uncommon to make multiple attempts to collect a measurement after baseline. Recording whether these attempts are successful provides useful information for the purposes of assessing missing data…

Nonparametric mixture models based on the Dirichlet process are an elegant alternative to finite models when the number of underlying components is unknown, but inference in such models can be slow. Existing attempts to parallelize…

We establish explicit quenched asymptotics for pure-jump symmetric L\'evy processes in general Poissonian potentials, which is closely related to large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonlocal parabolic Anderson problem with…

Copula-based dependence modeling often relies on parametric formulations. This is mathematically convenient, but can be statistically inefficient when the parametric families are not suitable for the data and model in focus. A Bayesian…

In this paper, we consider Bayesian inference on a class of multivariate median and the multivariate quantile functionals of a joint distribution using a Dirichlet process prior. Since, unlike univariate quantiles, the exact posterior…

We study a random field obtained by counting the number of balls containing each point, when overlapping balls are thrown at random according to a Poisson random measure. We are particularly interested in the local asymptotical…

In this paper, we investigate a class of multiscale McKean-Vlasov stochastic systems, where the entire system depends on the distributions of both fast and slow components. First of all, by applying the Poisson equation method, we prove…

We study full Bayesian procedures for sparse linear regression when errors have a symmetric but otherwise unknown distribution. The unknown error distribution is endowed with a symmetrized Dirichlet process mixture of Gaussians. For the…

We investigate a model of random spatial permutations on two-dimensional tori, and establish that the joint distribution of large cycles is asymptotically given by the Poisson--Dirichlet distribution with parameter one. The asymmetry of the…
