We provide finite-sample distribution approximations, that are uniform in the parameter, for inference in linear mixed models. Focus is on variances and covariances of random effects in cases where existing theory fails because their…

Recent research has demonstrated significant achievable performance gains by exploiting circularity/non-circularity or propeness/improperness of complex-valued signals. In this paper, we investigate the influence of these properties on…

We consider a continuous analogue of the simulated annealing algorithm in $R^d$. We prove a convergence result, under hypotheses weaker than the usual ones. In particular, we cover cases where the gradient of the potential goes to zero at…

Power law or generalized polynomial regressions with unknown real-valued exponents and coefficients, and weakly dependent errors, are considered for observations over time, space or space--time. Consistency and asymptotic normality of…

We conduct a large scale empirical investigation of contextualized number prediction in running text. Specifically, we consider two tasks: (1)masked number prediction-predicting a missing numerical value within a sentence, and (2)numerical…

To verify the universal validity of the "two-sided" monotonicity condition introduced in [8], we will apply it to include more classical examples. The present paper selects the $L^{p}$ convergence case for this purpose. Furthermore, Theorem…

Distance covariance is a popular measure of dependence between random variables. It has some robustness properties, but not all. We prove that the influence function of the usual distance covariance is bounded, but that its breakdown value…

In this paper, we focus on the problem of conformal prediction with conditional guarantees. Prior work has shown that it is impossible to construct nontrivial prediction sets with full conditional coverage guarantees. A wealth of research…

As a kind of independence of random variables under sublinear expectations, pseudo-independence is weaker than Peng's independence. We shall give Marcinkiewicz-type weak and strong laws of large numbers for pseudo-independent random…
