We consider optimal scalar quantization with $r$th power distortion and constrained R\'enyi entropy of order $\alpha$. For sources with an absolutely continuous distribution the high rate asymptotics of the quantizer distortion has long…
We compute the exact rates of convergence in total variation associated with the 'fourth moment theorem' by Nualart and Peccati (2005), stating that a sequence of random variables living in a fixed Wiener chaos verifies a central limit…
We obtain convergence rates (in the Levi-Prokhorove metric) in the functional central limit theorem (CLT) for partial sums $S_n=\sum_{j=1}^{n}\xi_{j,n}$ of triangular arrays $\{\xi_{1,n},\xi_{2,n},...,\xi_{n,n}\}$ satisfying some mixing and…
The aim of this paper is to provide several novel upper bounds on the excess risk with a primal focus on classification problems. We suggest two approaches and the obtained bounds are represented via the distribution dependent local…
We construct the generalized entropy optimized by a given arbitrary statistical distribution with a finite linear expectation value of a random quantity of interest. This offers, via the maximum entropy principle, a unified basis for a…
The theorem of Shannon-McMillan-Breiman states that for every generating partition on an ergodic system, the exponential decay rate of the measure of cylinder sets equals the metric entropy almost everywhere (provided the entropy is…
We give optimal convergence rates in the central limit theorem for a large class of martingale difference sequences with bounded third moments. The rates depend on the behaviour of the conditional variances and for stationary sequences the…
In this article, we study the pointwise asymptotic behavior of iterated convolutions on the one dimensional lattice Z. We generalize the so-called local limit theorem in probability theory to complex valued sequences. A sharp rate of…
For probability measures on a complete separable metric space, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Kantorovich transportation problem. We also obtain sufficient conditions (which sometimes also become…
In this paper we consider a superprocess being a measure-valued diffusion corresponding to the equation $u_{t}=Lu+\alpha u-\beta u^{2}$, where $L$ is the infinitesimal operator of the \emph{Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process} and…
Let $Q$ be a transition probability on a measurable space $E$, let $(X\_n)\_n$ be a Markov chain associated to $Q$, and let $\xi$ be a real-valued measurable function on $E$, and $S\_n = \sum\_{k=1}^{n} \xi(X\_k)$. Under functional…
We prove a central limit theorem applicable to one dimensional stochastic approximation algorithms that converge to a point where the error terms of the algorithm do not vanish. We show how this applies to a certain class of these…
In Dolera, Gabetta and Regazzini [Ann. Appl. Probab. 19 (2009) 186-201] it is proved that the total variation distance between the solution $f(\cdot,t)$ of Kac's equation and the Gaussian density $(0,\sigma^2)$ has an upper bound which goes…
We study the statistical properties of the entropic optimal (self) transport problem for smooth probability measures. We provide an accurate description of the limit distribution for entropic (self-)potentials and plans as the…
It is shown that the distribution derived from the principle of maximum Tsallis entropy is a superposable Levy-type distribution. Concomitantly, the leading order correction to the limit distribution is also deduced. This demonstration…
In this article, we quantify the functional convergence of the rescaled random walk with heavy tails to a stable process.This generalizes the Generalized Central Limit Theorem for stable random variables infinite dimension. We show that…
We consider the existence of the integrated density of states (IDS) of the Anderson model on the Hilbert space $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ as analogues to the law of large numbers (LLN). In this work, we prove the analogues central limit theorem…
Many inference problems involving questions of optimality ask for the maximum or the minimum of a finite set of unknown quantities. This technical report derives the first two posterior moments of the maximum of two correlated Gaussian…
Entropy rate of sequential data-streams naturally quantifies the complexity of the generative process. Thus entropy rate fluctuations could be used as a tool to recognize dynamical perturbations in signal sources, and could potentially be…
Classical Edgeworth expansions provide asymptotic correction terms to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) up to an order that depends on the number of moments available. In this paper, we provide subsequent correction terms beyond those given…
