``Orderly divergence'' deals with limit theorems for weighted stochastic Gamma integrals of otherwise nonintegrable functions. Although for monotonic functions this category usually coincides with the classical notion of weighted limit…
We propose a unified framework for likelihood-based regression modeling when the response variable has finite support. Our work is motivated by the fact that, in practice, observed data are discrete and bounded. The proposed methods assume…
We obtain an almost sure bound for oscillation rates of empirical distribution functions for stationary causal processes. For short-range dependent processes, the oscillation rate is shown to be optimal in the sense that it is as sharp as…
Ordered categorical data frequently arise in the analysis of biomedical, agricultural, and social sciences data. The logistic regression model is attractive in analyzing ordered categorical data because of its use in interpretation of a…
The concentration of empirical measures is studied for dependent data, whose joint distribution satisfies Poincar\'{e}-type or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The general concentration results are then applied to spectral empirical…
We show that a family of random variables is uniformly integrable if and only if it is stochastically bounded in the increasing convex order by an integrable random variable. This result is complemented by proving analogous statements for…
In this paper, we study the order of approximation for max-product Kantorovich sampling operators based upon generalized kernels in the setting of Orlicz spaces. We establish a quantitative estimate for the considered family of…
Random permutations with distribution conditionally uniform given the set of record values can be generated in a unified way, coherently for all values of $n$. Our central example is a two-parameter family of random permutations that are…
We derive functional equations for distributions of six classical statistics (ascents, descents, left-to-right maxima, right-to-left maxima, left-to-right minima, and right-to-left minima) on separable and irreducible separable…
When some treatments are ordered according to the categories of an ordinal categorical variable (e.g., extent of side effects) in a monotone order, one might be interested in knowing wether the treatments are equally effective or not. One…
In this article, we consider the estimation of the marginal distributions for pairs of data are recorded, with unobserved order in each pair. New estimators are proposed and their asymptotic properties are established, by proving a…
Empirical studies in various social sciences often involve categorical outcomes with inherent ordering, such as self-evaluations of subjective well-being and self-assessments in health domains. While ordered choice models, such as the…
Consider a random sample $X_1 , X_2 , ..., X_n$ drawn independently and identically distributed from some known sampling distribution $P_X$. Let $X_{(1)} \le X_{(2)} \le ... \le X_{(n)}$ represent the order statistics of the sample. The…
We provide the analytic forms of the distributions for the sum of ordered spacings. We do this both for the case where the boundaries are included in the calculation of the spacings and the case where they are excluded. Both the probability…
We deduce in this paper the sufficient conditions for weak convergence of centered and normed deviation of the u-statistics with values in the space of the real valued continuous function defined on some compact metric space. We obtain also…
We consider the uniform random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices, with $d \in [N^\alpha, N^{2/3-\alpha}]$ for arbitrary $\alpha > 0$. We prove that in the bulk of the spectrum the local eigenvalue correlation functions and the distribution…
We consider the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for the underlying event time based on mixed-case interval-censored data, under a log-concavity assumption on its distribution function. This generalized framework relaxes the…
We prove a lemma, which we call the Order Ideal Lemma, that can be used to demonstrate a wide array of log-concavity and log-convexity results in a combinatorial manner using order ideals in distributive lattices. We use the Order Ideal…
We propose and analyze a randomized zeroth-order approach based on approximating the exact gradient byfinite differences computed in a set of orthogonal random directions that changes with each iteration. A number ofpreviously proposed…
We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…
