We study the asymptotic behavior of Multiple Meixner polynomials of first and second kind, respectively (see J. Arves\'u et al. J. Comput. Appl. Math., 153, (2003)). We use an algebraic function formulation for the solution of the…
We provide a means of computing and estimating the asymptotic distributions of statistics based on an outer minimization of an inner maximization. Such test statistics, which arise frequently in moment models, are of special interest in…
M-estimation, aka empirical risk minimization, is at the heart of statistics and machine learning: Classification, regression, location estimation, etc. Asymptotic theory is well understood when the loss satisfies some smoothness…
In observational studies with time-to-event outcomes, the g-formula can be used to estimate a treatment effect in the presence of confounding factors. However, the asymptotic distribution of the corresponding stochastic process is…
