A stationary random sequence admits under some assumptions a representation as the sum of two others: one of them is a martingale difference sequence, and another is a so-called coboundary. Such a representation can be used for proving some…

Variable selection for a multiple regression model (Noisy Linear Perceptron) is studied with a mean field approximation. In our Bayesian framework, variable selection is formulated as estimation of discrete parameters that indicate a subset…

We establish the asymptotic normality of the regression estimator in a fixed-design setting when the errors are given by a field of dependent random variables. The result applies to martingale-difference or strongly mixing random fields. On…

We study in this paper the sufficient conditions for enhanced continuity of random fields, i.e. such that the modulus of its continuity allows the factorable representation by the product of random variable on the deterministic module of…

Mean-field models approximate large stochastic systems by simpler differential equations that are supposed to approximate the mean of the larger system. It is generally assumed that as the stochastic systems get larger (i.e., more people or…
