We construct a kernel density estimator on symmetric spaces of non-compact type and establish an upper bound for its convergence rate, analogous to the minimax rate for classical kernel density estimators on Euclidean space. Symmetric…
In this monograph, we prove an asymptotic approximation for integrals of probability densities over sets in finite dimensional euclidean space, which are far away from the origin (asymptotic sets). We use this approximation to investigate…

The deprojection of axisymmetric density distributions is generally indeterminate to within the addition of certain axisymmetric distributions (konus densities) that are invisible in projection. The known class of konus densities is…
In this paper, we consider the distribution of the supremum of non-stationary Gaussian processes, and present a new theoretical result on the asymptotic behaviour of this distribution. Unlike previously known facts in this field, our main…

We construct a density estimator in the bivariate uniform deconvolution model. For this model we derive four inversion formulas to express the bivariate density that we want to estimate in terms of the bivariate density of the observations.…
We obtain minimax-optimal convergence rates in the supremum norm, including information-theoretic lower bounds, for estimating the covariance kernel of a stochastic process which is repeatedly observed at discrete, synchronous design…
This paper examines a stochastic deconvolution problem on compact symmetric spaces which is referred to as decompounding. This involves estimating the step distributions of a random walk, where in addition the number of steps between…
A kernel density estimator for data on the polysphere $\mathbb{S}^{d_1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{S}^{d_r}$, with $r,d_1,\ldots,d_r\geq 1$, is presented in this paper. We derive the main asymptotic properties of the estimator, including mean…
In this paper, we investigate a class of spherical functional autoregressive processes, and we discuss the estimation of the corresponding autoregressive kernels. In particular, we first establish a consistency result (in sup and…

We study kernel estimation of highest-density regions (HDR). Our main contributions are two-fold. First, we derive a uniform-in-bandwidth asymptotic approximation to a risk that is appropriate for HDR estimation. This approximation is then…
Kernel embeddings of distributions and the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), the resulting distance between distributions, are useful tools for fully nonparametric two-sample testing and learning on distributions. However, it is rarely that…
