We study approximation properties of additive random fields $Y_d$, $d\in\mathbb{N}$, which are sums of zero-mean random processes with the same continuous covariance functions. The average case approximation complexity…
Let $a_1, \dots, a_n \in \mathbb{R}$ satisfy $\sum_i a_i^2 = 1$, and let $\varepsilon_1, \ldots, \varepsilon_n$ be uniformly random $\pm 1$ signs and $X = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i \varepsilon_i$. It is conjectured that $X = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i…
This short note proposes two additive corrections to a pair of relations published in Wan et al. in order to extend them to a small sample size condition. In particular we focus the interest on the possibility to provide an estimate to the…
In this note, we study convergence rates in the law of large numbers for independent and identically distributed random variables under sublinear expectations. We obtain a strong $L^p$-convergence version and a strongly quasi sure…
We consider a general class of super-additive scores measuring the similarity of two independent sequences of $n$ i.i.d. letters from a finite alphabet. Our object of interest is the mean score by letter $l_n$. By the subadditivity $l_n$ is…
Self-normalized processes are basic to many probabilistic and statistical studies. They arise naturally in the the study of stochastic integrals, martingale inequalities and limit theorems, likelihood-based methods in hypothesis testing and…
Let $X_1$, $X_2$,... be a sequence of independent random variables with common distribution function $F$ in the domain of attraction of a Gumbel extreme value distribution and for each integer $n\geq 1$, let $X_{1,n} \leq ... X_{n,n}$…
We propose new concentration inequalities for self-normalized martingales. The main idea is to introduce a suitable weighted sum of the predictable quadratic variation and the total quadratic variation of the martingale. It offers much more…
For noncorrelated random variables, we study a concentration property of the family of distributions of normalized sums formed by sequences of times of a given large length.
In this paper, we establish the convergence rate in central limit theorem (CLT) for linearly extended negative quadrant dependent (LENQD) random variables (rv's). Under some weak conditions, the rate of normal approximation is shown as…
We consider the sum of power weighted nearest neighbor distances in a sample of size n from a multivariate density f of possibly unbounded support. We give various criteria guaranteeing that this sum satisfies a law of large numbers for…
This paper deals with the estimation of a probability measure on the real line from data observed with an additive noise. We are interested in rates of convergence for the Wasserstein metric of order $p\geq 1$. The distribution of the…
We derive adjusted signed likelihood ratio statistics for a general class of extreme value regression models. The adjustments reduce the error in the standard normal approximation to the distribution of the signed likelihood ratio…
Self-normalized processes arise naturally in many learning-related tasks. While self-normalized concentration has been extensively studied for scalar-valued processes, there are few results for multidimensional processes outside of the…
The paper is concerned with approximating the distribution of a sum W of n integer valued random variables Y_i, whose distributions depend on the state of an underlying Markov chain X. The approximation is in terms of a translated Poisson…

The paper is concerned with stochastic approximation procedures having three main characteristics: truncations with random moving bounds, a matrix valued random step-size sequence, and a dynamically changing random regression function. We…

The commonly cited rule of thumb for regression analysis, which suggests that a sample size of $n \geq 30$ is sufficient to ensure valid inferences, is frequently referenced but rarely scrutinized. This research note evaluates the lower…
