We present a new approach to the bootstrap for chains of infinite order taking values on a finite alphabet. It is based on a sequential Bootstrap Central Limit Theorem for the sequence of canonical Markov approximations of the chain of…

We consider a finite sequence of random points in a finite domain of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The points are sequentially allocated in the domain according to a model of cooperative sequential adsorption. The main peculiarity…

We consider the problem of Gaussian approximation for the $\kappa$th coordinate of a sum of high-dimensional random vectors. Such a problem has been studied previously for $\kappa=1$ (i.e., maxima). However, in many applications, a general…

We prove a central limit theorem for a sequence of random variables whose means are ambiguous and vary in an unstructured way. Their joint distribution is described by a set of measures. The limit is (not the normal distribution and is)…

Let $X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}$ be i.i.d. sample in $\mathbb{R}^{p}$ with zero mean and the covariance matrix $\mathbf{\Sigma}$. The problem of recovering the projector onto an eigenspace of $\mathbf{\Sigma}$ from these observations naturally…

We derive novel anti-concentration bounds for the difference between the maximal values of two Gaussian random vectors across various settings. Our bounds are dimension-free, scaling with the dimension of the Gaussian vectors only through…

Spectral analysis plays a crucial role in high-dimensional statistics, where determining the asymptotic distribution of various spectral statistics remains a challenging task. Due to the difficulties of deriving the analytic form, recent…

Most of the modern literature on robust mean estimation focuses on designing estimators which obtain optimal sub-Gaussian concentration bounds under minimal moment assumptions and sometimes also assuming contamination. This work looks at…

Violation of the assumptions underlying classical (Gaussian) limit theory often yields unreliable statistical inference. This paper shows that the bootstrap can detect such violations by delivering simple and powerful diagnostic tests that…

Let $r=r(n)$ be a sequence of integers such that $r\leq n$ and let $X_1,\ldots,X_{r+1}$ be independent random points distributed according to the Gaussian, the Beta or the spherical distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Limit theorems for the…

We study atypical behavior in bootstrap percolation on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph. Initially a set $S$ is infected. Other vertices are infected once at least $r$ of their neighbors become infected. Janson et al. (2012) locates the…
