Quantiles are a fundamental concept in probability and theoretical statistics and a daily tool in their applications. While the univariate concept of quantiles is quite clear and well understood, its multivariate extension is more…
Multivariate orthogonal polynomials can be introduced by using a moment functional defined on the linear space of polynomials in several variables with real coefficients. We study the so-called Uvarov and Christoffel modifications obtained…
Increased attention has been given recently to the statistical analysis of variables with values on nonlinear manifolds. A natural but nontrivial problem in that context is the definition of quantile concepts. We are proposing a solution…
In this paper we survey and unify a large class or $L$-functionals of the conditional distribution of the response variable in regression models. This includes robust measures of location, scale, skewness, and heavytailedness of the…
The paper is devoted to quantization of polynomial momentum observables in the cotangent bundle of a smooth manifold. A quantization procedure is proposed allowing to quantize a wide class of functions which are polynomials of any order in…
All multivariate extensions of the univariate theory of risk measurement run into the same fundamental problem of the absence, in dimension d > 1, of a canonical ordering of Rd. Based on measure transportation ideas, several attempts have…
The uniform probability measure on a convex polytope induces piecewise polynomial densities on its projections. For a fixed combinatorial type of simplicial polytopes, the moments of these measures are rational functions in the vertex…
The paper investigates the problem of performing correlation analysis when the number of observations is very large. In such a case, it is often necessary to combine the random observations to achieve dimensionality reduction of the…
Univariate concepts as quantile and distribution functions involving ranks and signs, do not canonically extend to $\mathbb{R}^d, d\geq 2$. Palliating that has generated an abundant literature. Chapter 1 shows that, unlike the many…
In this paper we introduce the theory of derivatives of moments and (moment) functionals to represent moment functionals by Gaussian mixtures, characteristic functions of polytopes, and simple functions of polytopes. We study, among other…
We propose center-outward superquantile and expected shortfall functions, with applications to multivariate risk measurements, extending the standard notion of value at risk and conditional value at risk from the real line to…
We study the problem of modeling univariate distributions via their quantile functions. We introduce a flexible family of distributions whose quantile function is a linear combination of basis quantiles. Because the model is linear in its…
In this paper, the quantile based flattened logistic distribution introduced by Gilchrist has been studied. Some classical and quantile based properties of the distribution have been obtained. Closed form expression of L-moments and…
In measure theory several results are known how measure spaces are transformed into each other. But since moment functionals are represented by a measure we investigate in this study the effects and implications of these measure…
Let $\lambda(n)$ be the Liouville function. We study the distribution of \[ \frac{1}{x^{1/2}}\sum_{x\leq n\leq 2x}\lambda(f(n)) \] over random polynomials $f$ of fixed degree $d$ and coefficients bounded in magnitude by $H$. In particular…
We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L-functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our conjectures also have an almost identical…
Unimodal univariate distributions can be characterized as piecewise convex-concave cumulative distribution functions. In this note we transfer this shape constraint characterization to the quantile function. We show that this…
In this paper we present a flexible bivariate distribution specified by a quantile function. The distribution contains as special cases new bivariate exponential, Pareto I, Pareto II, beta, power, log logistic and uniform distributions and…
Geometric quantiles are popular location functionals to build rank-based statistical procedures in multivariate settings. They are obtained through the minimization of a non-smooth convex objective function. As a result, the singularity of…
This paper focuses on generalizing quantiles from the ordering point of view. We propose the concept of partial quantiles, which are based on a given partial order. We establish that partial quantiles are equivariant under order-preserving…
