We quantify the large deviations of Gaussian extreme value statistics on closed convex sets in d-dimensional Euclidean space. The asymptotics imply that the extreme value distribution exhibits a rate function that is a simple quadratic…

In this paper, for $\mu$ and $\nu$ two probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite moments of order $\rho\ge 1$, we define the respective projections for the $W_\rho$-Wasserstein distance of $\mu$ and $\nu$ on the sets of probability…

The general aim of manifold estimation is reconstructing, by statistical methods, an $m$-dimensional compact manifold $S$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ (with $m\leq d$) or estimating some relevant quantities related to the geometric properties of $S$.…
