We investigate the second order asymptotic behavior of trimmed sums $T_n=\frac 1n \sum_{i=\kn+1}^{n-\mn}\xin$, where $\kn$, $\mn$ are sequences of integers, $0\le \kn < n-\mn \le n$, such that $\min(\kn, \mn) \to \infty$, as $\nty$, the…

Let $B$ be a bifractional Brownian motion with parameters $H\in (0, 1)$ and $K\in(0,1]$. For any $n\geq1$, set $Z_n =\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\big[n^{2HK}(B_{(i+1)/n}-B_{i/n})^2-\E((B_{i+1}-B_{i})^2)\big]$. We use the Malliavin calculus and the…

This paper develops techniques to study the number of descents in random permutations via martingales. We relax an assumption in the Berry-Esseen theorem of Bolthausen (1982) to extend the theorem's scope to martingale differences of…

Testing the goodness-of-fit of a model with its defining functional constraints in the parameters could date back to Spearman (1927), who analyzed the famous "tetrad" polynomial in the covariance matrix of the observed variables in a…
