Many real-life data sets can be analyzed using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs). Since these are ordinarily based on normality assumptions, under small deviations from the model the inference can be highly unstable when the associated parameters…

This paper describes a generalization of the Hellinger distance which we call the S -Hellinger distance; this general family connects the Hellinger distance smoothly with the $L_2$-divergence by a tuning parameter $\alpha$ and is indeed a…

In the paper Sato (2006) there are introduced two families of improper random integrals and the corresponding two convolution semigroups of infinitely divisible laws on $\Rset^d$. Theorem 3.1 gives a relation (a factorization property)…

In certain point processes, the configuration of points outside a bounded domain determines, with probability 1, certain statistical features of the points within the domain. This notion, called rigidity, was introduced in a work of Ghosh…

In this study, we discuss the relationship between two families of density-power-based divergences with functional degrees of freedom -- the H\"{o}lder divergence and the functional density power divergence (FDPD) -- based on their…

We present a robust test for composite null hypothesis based on the general $S$-divergence family. This requires a non-trivial extension of the results of Ghosh et al.~(2015). We derive the asymptotic and theoretical robustness properties…
