The problem of estimating the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of a $p$-variate distribution based on its $n$ observations arises in many data analysis contexts. While for $n>p$, the classical sample covariance matrix $\hat{\Sigma}_n$ is a good…
We consider the linear regression model with observation error in the design. In this setting, we allow the number of covariates to be much larger than the sample size. Several new estimation methods have been recently introduced for this…
We perform a stability analysis of a recently proposed sum rule for pion Compton scattering at fixed angle and moderate Mandelstam invariants. The sum rule is found to be sensitive to the parameter $\lambda^2$, the contour radius of a…

Edgeworth expansions of first and second order are established for general linear rank statistics under the null hypothesis with asymptotically ''sufficiently'' small remainder terms. The methods used are the Stein method combined with an…
In a regression model with multiple response variables and multiple explanatory variables, if the difference of the mean vectors of the response variables for different values of explanatory variables is always in the direction of the first…
In this talk, I present new results [1] obtained from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), on the bag constant parameters entering in the analysis of the B^0_{(s)}-\bar B^0_{(s)} mass-differences. Taking the average of the results from the…
As the matching condition in Grover search algorithm is transgressed due to inevitable errors in phase inversions, it gives a reduction in maximum probability of success. With a given degree of maximum success, we have derive the…

Taking the example of the most popular and well-established Borel / Laplace / Exponential sum rule (LSR), I shortly review some of its recent applications in hadron physics namely the estimates of non-perturbative condensates, the…
Puzzled or surprised by the almost incredible accuracy occasionally claimed in the literature to be achievable for numerical outcomes of QCD sum-rule analyses, we scrutinized the usual procedure employed for the extraction of the parameters…
In this paper, we consider a generalized multivariate regression problem where the responses are monotonic functions of linear transformations of predictors. We propose a semi-parametric algorithm based on the ordering of the responses…
The demands of accuracy in measurements and engineering models today, renders the condition number of problems larger. While a corresponding increase in the precision of floating point numbers ensured a stable computing, the uncertainty in…
We present an estimator of the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of random $d$-dimensional vector from an i.i.d. sample of size $n$. Our sole assumption is that this vector satisfies a bounded $L^p-L^2$ moment assumption over its one-dimensional…
Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) gives an unbiased estimate of the $\ell_2$ risk of any estimator of the mean of a Gaussian random vector. We focus here on the case when the estimator minimizes a quadratic loss term plus a convex…
Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) such as random $3$-SAT are conjectured to be computationally intractable. The average case hardness of random $3$-SAT and other CSPs has broad and far-reaching implications on problems in…
Much of machine learning relies on comparing distributions with discrepancy measures. Stein's method creates discrepancy measures between two distributions that require only the unnormalized density of one and samples from the other. Stein…
In this paper, we consider the usual linear regression model in the case where the error process is assumed strictly stationary. We use a result from Hannan (1973), who proved a Central Limit Theorem for the usual least square estimator…
