Bootstrapping can produce confidence levels for hypotheses about quadratic regression models - such as whether the U-shape is inverted, and the location of optima. The method has several advantages over conventional methods: it provides…
We construct examples of degree-two U- and V-statistics of $n$ i.i.d.~heavy-tailed random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{d(n)}$, whose $\nu$-th moments exist for ${\nu > 2}$, and provide tight bounds on the error of approximating both statistics…

Robust Bayesian inference using density power divergence (DPD) has emerged as a promising approach for handling outliers in statistical estimation. Although the DPD-based posterior offers theoretical guarantees of robustness, its practical…
