A topological multiple testing scheme is presented for detecting peaks in images under stationary ergodic Gaussian noise, where tests are performed at local maxima of the smoothed observed signals. The procedure generalizes the…
We provide an example for stabilization by noise. Our approach does not rely on monotonicity arguments due to the presence of higher order differential operators or mixing properties of the system as the noise might be highly degenerate. In…
Classically, anisotropic surface wave tomography is treated as an optimisation problem where it proceeds through a linearised two-step approach. It involves the construction of 2D group or phase velocity maps for each considered period,…
Smoothing is widely used approach for measurement noise reduction in spectral analysis. However, it suffers from signal distortion caused by peak suppression. A locally self-adjustive smoothing method is developed that retains sharp peaks…

A popular class of problem in statistics deals with estimating the support of a density from $n$ observations drawn at random from a $d$-dimensional distribution. The one-dimensional case reduces to estimating the end points of a univariate…
We give a simple conceptual proof of the consistency of a test for multivariate uniformity in a bounded set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ that is based on the maximal spacing generated by i.i.d. points $X_1, \ldots,X_n$ in $K$, i.e., the volume…
We point out necessary and sufficient conditions of uniform consistency of nonparametric sets of alternatives for widespread nonparametric tests. Nonparametric sets of alternatives can be defined both in terms of distribution function and…

We consider a statistical problem of detection of a signal with unknown energy in a multi-channel system, observed in a Gaussian noise. We assume that the signal can appear in the $k$-th channel with a known small prior probability…
