We present an improved version of the second order Gaussian Poincar\'e inequality, firstly introduced in Chatterjee (2009) and Nourdin, Peccati and Reinert (2009). These novel estimates are used in order to bound distributional distances…

We derive an extended empirical likelihood for parameters defined by estimating equations which generalizes the original empirical likelihood for such parameters to the full parameter space. Under mild conditions, the extended empirical…

Fisher (1934) argued that certain ancillary statistics form a relevant subset, a subset of the sample space on which inference should be restricted, and showed that conditioning on their observed value reduces the dimension of the data…

We focus on the problem estimating a monotone trend function under additive and dependent noise. New point-wise confidence interval estimators under both short- and long-range dependent errors are introduced and studied. These intervals are…
