We derive a multidimensional Stein's method for asymptotic independence in the case of a general target $\mu$ with a density, being invariant measure of a diffusion process. It allows us to give a general bound in Wasserstein distance…
Distance correlation is a recent extension of Pearson's correlation, that characterises general statistical independence between Euclidean-space-valued random variables, not only linear relations. This review delves into how and when…
We introduce the Randomized Dependence Coefficient (RDC), a measure of non-linear dependence between random variables of arbitrary dimension based on the Hirschfeld-Gebelein-R\'enyi Maximum Correlation Coefficient. RDC is defined in terms…
We provide a bound on a natural distance between finitely and infinitely supported elements of the unit sphere of $\ell^2(\mathbb{N}^*)$, the space of real valued sequences with finite $\ell^2$ norm. We use this bound to estimate the…
Tight bounds for several symmetric divergence measures are derived in terms of the total variation distance. It is shown that each of these bounds is attained by a pair of 2 or 3-element probability distributions. An application of these…
We consider the problem of testing whether pairs of univariate random variables are associated. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives and are distribution free. We propose novel tests that…
Statistical dependence between hypotheses poses a significant challenge to the stability of large scale multiple hypotheses testing. Ignoring it often results in an unacceptably large spread in the false positive proportion even though the…
The paper provides an estimate of the total variation distance between distributions of polynomials defined on a space equipped with a logarithmically concave measure in terms of the $L^2$-distance between these polynomials.
We propose new measures of shared information, unique information and synergistic information that can be used to decompose the multi-information of a pair of random variables $(Y,Z)$ with a third random variable $X$. Our measures are…
Consider an experiment involving a potentially small number of subjects. Some random variables are observed on each subject: a high-dimensional one called the "observed" random variable, and a one-dimensional one called the "outcome" random…
We study an independence test based on distance correlation for random fields $(X,Y)$. We consider the situations when $(X,Y)$ is observed on a lattice with equidistant grid sizes and when $(X,Y)$ is observed at random locations. We provide…
The results of this paper build upon those first obtained by Sznitman and Zeitouni in [11]. We establish, for spacial dimensions greater than two, the existence of a unique invariant measure for isotropic diffusions in random environment…
The problem of estimating the coefficient of bivariate tail dependence is considered here from the robustness point of view; it combines two apparently contradictory theories of robust statistics and extreme value statistics. The usual…
Using a characterization of Mutual Complete Dependence copulas, we show that, with respect to the Sobolev norm, the MCD copulas can be approximated arbitrarily closed by shuffles of Min. This result is then used to obtain a characterization…
Working with so-called linkages allows to define a copula-based, $[0,1]$-valued multivariate dependence measure $\zeta^1(\boldsymbol{X},Y)$ quantifying the scale-invariant extent of dependence of a random variable $Y$ on a $d$-dimensional…
Our research proposes a novel method for reducing the dimensionality of functional data, specifically for the case where the response is a scalar and the predictor is a random function. Our method utilizes distance covariance, and has…
We review old and recent finite de Finetti theorems in total variation distance and in relative entropy, and we highlight their connections with bounds on the difference between sampling with and without replacement. We also establish two…
Vector similarity measures play a fundamental role in various fields, including machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and data mining. These measures quantify the closeness between two vectors in a…
Multivariate data sources with components of different information value seem to appear frequently in practice. Models in which the components change their homogeneity at different times are of significant importance. The fact whether any…
With the development of multimedia time, one sample can always be described from multiple views which contain compatible and complementary information. Most algorithms cannot take information from multiple views into considerations and fail…
