In numerous applications data are observed at random times and an estimated graph of the spectral density may be relevant for characterizing and explaining phenomena. By using a wavelet analysis, one derives a nonparametric estimator of the…
This paper considers estimation of a univariate density from an individual numerical sequence. It is assumed that (i) the limiting relative frequencies of the numerical sequence are governed by an unknown density, and (ii) there is a known…
The goal of this research is to derive an approach to assess uncertainty in an arbitrary volume conditioned by sampling data, without using geostatistical simulation. We have accomplished this goal by deriving an numerical tool suitable for…
Compactness is one of the most versatile tools in the analysis of nonlinear PDEs and systems. Usually, compactness is established by means of some embedding theorem between functional spaces. Such theorems, in turn, rely on appropriate…
One of the main concepts in quantum physics is a density matrix, which is a symmetric positive definite matrix of trace one. Finite probability distributions can be seen as a special case when the density matrix is restricted to be…
In this paper, we derive sufficient conditions for each component of the solution to a general backward stochastic differential equation to have a density for which upper and lower Gaussian estimates can be obtained.
Non-linear aggregation strategies have recently been proposed in response to the problem of how to combine, in a non-linear way, estimators of the regression function (see for instance \cite{biau:16}), classification rules (see…
Quantitative multivariate central limit theorems for general functionals of possibly non-symmetric and non-homogeneous infinite Rademacher sequences are proved by combining discrete Malliavin calculus with the smart path method for normal…
We use techniques of Malliavin calculus to study the convergence in law of a family of generalized Rosenblatt processes $Z_\gamma$ with kernels defined by parameters $\gamma$ taking values in a tetrahedral region $\Delta$ of $\RR^q$. We…
In this paper we provide general conditions to check on the model and the prior to derive posterior concentration rates for data-dependent priors (or empirical Bayes approaches). We aim at providing conditions that are close to the…
In this paper, we study the existence and smoothness of a density function to the solution of a Mckean-Vlasov equation with the aid of Malliavin calculus. We first show the existence of the density function under assumptions that the…
We investigate the estimates of the density for the traditional Euler-Maruyama discretization of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with multiplicative noise. Our estimates focus on two key aspects: (1) the $L^p$-upper bounds for…
We provide an overview of some recent techniques involving the Malliavin calculus of variations and the so-called ``Stein's method'' for the Gaussian approximations of probability distributions. Special attention is devoted to establishing…
Estimation methods for the L\'{e}vy density of a L\'{e}vy process are developed under mild qualitative assumptions. A classical model selection approach made up of two steps is studied. The first step consists in the selection of a good…
We study the self-normalized sums of independent random variables from the perspective of the Malliavin calculus. We give the chaotic expansion for them and we prove a Berry-Ess\'een bound with respect to several distances.
We consider a general class of SPDEs in $\mathbb{R}^d$ driven by a Gaussian spatially homogeneous noise which is white in time. We provide sufficient conditions on the coefficients and the spectral measure associated to the noise ensuring…
We obtain two-sided bounds for the density of stochastic processes satisfying a weak H\"ormander condition. In particular we consider the cases when the support of the density is not the whole space and when the density has various…
In previous works we have introduced a new method called the lent particle method which is an efficient tool to establish existence of densities for Poisson functionals. We now go further and iterate this method in order to prove smoothness…
Non-Gaussian concentration estimates are obtained for invariant probability measures of reversible Markov processes. We show that the functional inequalities approach combined with a suitable Lyapunov condition allows us to circumvent the…
It is well known that Malliavin calculus can be applied to a stochastic differential equation with Lipschitz continuous coefficients in order to clarify the existence and the smoothness of the solution. In this paper, we apply Malliavin…
