Many statistical applications involve models for which it is difficult to evaluate the likelihood, but from which it is relatively easy to sample. Approximate Bayesian computation is a likelihood-free method for implementing Bayesian…

Contextuality is usually defined as absence of a joint distribution for a set of measurements (random variables) with known joint distributions of some of its subsets. However, if these subsets of measurements are not disjoint,…

A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functions or distributions, and generalizes the standard Bregman divergence…

Probability density functions (PDFs) can be understood as continuous compositions by the theory of Bayes spaces. The origin of a Bayes space is determined by a given reference measure. This can be easily changed through the well-known chain…

Entropy-type integral functionals of densities are widely used in mathematical statistics, information theory, and computer science. Examples include measures of closeness between distributions (e.g., density power divergence) and…

In this article we recover the distribution function (and possible density) of an arbitrary random variable that is subject to an additive measurement error. This problem is also known as deconvolution and has a long tradition in…

We consider the problem of reconstructing a function given its values on a set of points with finite density. We prove that with probability one, the values of an almost periodic function on a random array of points (with finite density)…

The paper treats density measures as typical examples of finitely additive measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study their structure and derive basic properties. In addition, estimates for related integrals are provided. The results are applied…

As well known, harmonic functions satisfy the mean value property, namely the average of the function over a ball is equal to its value at the center. This fact naturally raises the question on whether this is a characterizing feature of…

When testing for the mean vector in a high dimensional setting, it is generally assumed that the observations are independently and identically distributed. However if the data are dependent, the existing test procedures fail to preserve…

Determining functionals are tools to describe the finite dimensional long-term dynamics of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. There also exist several applications to infinite dimensional {\em random} dynamical systems. In these…

We define an integral, the distributional integral of functions of one real variable, that is more general than the Lebesgue and the Denjoy-Perron-Henstock-Kurzweil integrals, and which allows the integration of functions with…

We provide explicit formulas for asymptotic densities of the 2- and 3-dimensional ballistic L\'evy walks. It turns out that in the 3D case the densities are given by elementary functions. The densities of the 2D L\'evy walks are expressed…

Most existing methods for testing equality of means of functional data from multiple populations rely on assumptions of equal covariance and/or Gaussianity. In this work we provide a new testing method based on a statistic that is…
