We sharpen an estimate for the growth rate of preimages of a point under a transitive piecewise monotone interval map. Then we apply our estimate to study the continuity of the operator which assigns to such a map its constant slope model.
In the paper, some geometric properties of the plane interception curve defined by a nonlinear ordinary differential equation are discussed. Its parametric representation is used to find the limits of some triangle elements associated with…
Geometric morphometrics (GMM) is widely used to quantify shape variation, more recently serving as input for machine learning (ML) analyses. Standard practice aligns all specimens via Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) prior to splitting…
In this work, we consider a multivariate regression model with one-sided errors. We assume for the regression function to lie in a general H\"{o}lder class and estimate it via a nonparametric local polynomial approach that consists of…
Procrustes Analysis is a Morphometric method based on Configurations of Landmarks that estimates the superimposition parameters by least-squares; for this reason, the procedure is very sensitive to outliers. In the first part of the paper…
The learning curve expresses the error rate of a predictive modeling procedure as a function of the sample size of the training dataset. It typically is a decreasing, convex function with a positive limiting value. An estimate of the…
Testing procedures for assessing specific parametric model forms, or for checking the plausibility of simplifying assumptions, play a central role in the mathematical treatment of the uncertain. No certain answers are obtained by testing…
We develop constrained Bayesian estimation methods for small area problems: those requiring smoothness with respect to similarity across areas, such as geographic proximity or clustering by covariates; and benchmarking constraints,…
We consider the problem of estimating high-dimensional covariance matrices of $K$-populations or classes in the setting where the sample sizes are comparable to the data dimension. We propose estimating each class covariance matrix as a…
Smooth linear statistics of random permutation matrices, sampled under a general Ewens distribution, exhibit an interesting non-universality phenomenon. Though they have bounded variance, their fluctuations are asymptotically non-Gaussian…
An identity of conformal-projective curvature tensor of a statistical manifold is studied in this paper. The relation between the constancy of curvature and conformal-projective flatness of statistical manifolds is also discussed.
1. Parameter inference from distorted measurements is discussed. 2. Smeared measurements are unfolded without explicit regularization. The corresponding results are unbiased and permit to fit parameters and to apply quantitative…
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the nature of invariancy of rectifying curve under conformal transformation and obtain a sufficient condition for which such a curve remains conformally invariant. It is shown that the normal…
We provide statistical analysis methods for samples of curves when the image but not the parametrisation of the curves is of interest. A parametrisation invariant analysis can be based on the elastic distance of the curves modulo warping,…
The analysis of curves has been routinely dealt with using tools from functional data analysis. However its extension to multi-dimensional curves poses a new challenge due to its inherent geometric features that are difficult to capture…
The planar embedding conjecture asserts that any planar metric admits an embedding into L_1 with constant distortion. This is a well-known open problem with important algorithmic implications, and has received a lot of attention over the…
A novel and deterministic algorithm is presented to detect whether two given rational plane curves are related by means of a similarity, which is a central question in Pattern Recognition. As a by-product it finds all such similarities, and…
We study in this paper the problem of jointly clustering and learning representations. As several previous studies have shown, learning representations that are both faithful to the data to be clustered and adapted to the clustering…
Coarse data arise when learners observe only partial information about samples; namely, a set containing the sample rather than its exact value. This occurs naturally through measurement rounding, sensor limitations, and lag in economic…
In this paper is studied the behavior of principal curvature lines near a curve of umbilic points of a smooth surface.
