In this paper, we extend the work of Pimentel et al. (2015) and propose an adjusted estimator of Kendall's $\tau$ for bivariate zero-inflated count data. We provide achievable lower and upper bounds of our proposed estimator and show its…
When inferring parameters from a Gaussian-distributed data set by computing a likelihood, a covariance matrix is needed that describes the data errors and their correlations. If the covariance matrix is not known a priori, it may be…
This paper is concerned with Spearman's correlation matrices under large dimensional regime, in which the data dimension diverges to infinity proportionally with the sample size. We establish the central limit theorem for the linear…
Wide class of elliptically contoured distributions is a popular model of stock returns distribution. However the important question of adequacy of the model is open. There are some results which reject and approve such model. Such results…

This work considers estimation and forecasting in a multivariate, possibly high-dimensional count time series model constructed from a transformation of a latent Gaussian dynamic factor series. The estimation of the latent model parameters…
Doubly truncated data are found in astronomy, econometrics and survival analysis literature. They arise when each observation is confined to an interval, i.e., only those which fall within their respective intervals are observed along with…
Generalized linear models (GLMs) arguably represent the standard approach for statistical regression beyond the Gaussian likelihood scenario. When Bayesian formulations are employed, the general absence of a tractable posterior distribution…

Invariant ensemble, which are characterised by the joint distribution of eigenvalues $P(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_N)$, play a central role in random matrix theory. We consider the truncated linear statistics $L_K = \sum_{n=1}^K f(\lambda_n)$…
The sample correlation coefficient $R$ plays an important role in many statistical analyses. We study the moments of $R$ under the bivariate Gaussian model assumption, provide a novel approximation for its finite sample mean and connect it…
Unsupervised estimation of latent variable models is a fundamental problem central to numerous applications of machine learning and statistics. This work presents a principled approach for estimating broad classes of such models, including…
Pearson's correlation is among the mostly widely reported measures of association. The strength of the statistical evidence for linear association is determined by the p-value of a hypothesis test. If the true distribution of a dataset is…
We introduce, and analyze, three measures for degree-degree dependencies, also called degree assortativity, in directed random graphs, based on Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau. We proof statistical consistency of these measures in general…
We study how to estimate a nearly low-rank Toeplitz covariance matrix $T$ from compressed measurements. Recent work of Qiao and Pal addresses this problem by combining sparse rulers (sparse linear arrays) with frequency finding (sparse…
