We prove a local limit theorem, i.e. a central limit theorem for densities, for a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables taking values on an abstract Wiener space; the common law of those random variables is…

We consider estimation of a sparse parameter vector that determines the covariance matrix of a Gaussian random vector via a sparse expansion into known "basis matrices". Using the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we derive lower…
We use a new method via $p$-Wasserstein bounds to prove Cram\'er-type moderate deviations in (multivariate) normal approximations. In the classical setting that $W$ is a standardized sum of $n$ independent and identically distributed…

Many problems in high-dimensional statistics appear to have a statistical-computational gap: a range of values of the signal-to-noise ratio where inference is information-theoretically possible, but (conjecturally) computationally…
The power-spectrum subband energy ratio (PSER) has been applied in a variety of fields, but reports on its statistical properties have been limited. As such, this study investigates these characteristics in the presence of additive Gaussian…
Since the two seminal papers by Fisher (1915, 1921) were published, the test under a fixed value correlation coefficient null hypothesis for the bivariate normal distribution constitutes an important statistical problem. In the framework of…
Inference about a scalar parameter of interest typically relies on the asymptotic normality of common likelihood pivots, such as the signed likelihood root, the score and Wald statistics. Nevertheless, the resulting inferential procedures…
For a high-dimensional parameter of interest, tests based on quadratic statistics are known to have low power against subsets of the parameter space (henceforth, parameter subspaces). In addition, they typically involve an inverse…
G-computation has become a widely used robust method for estimating unconditional (marginal) treatment effects with covariate adjustment in the analysis of randomized clinical trials. Statistical inference in this context typically relies…
Many authors have studied the phenomenon of typically Gaussian marginals of high-dimensional random vectors; e.g., for a probability measure on $\R^d$, under mild conditions, most one-dimensional marginals are approximately Gaussian if $d$…
A study is made of an integral identity of Helffer and Sj{\"o}strand, which for some class of probability measures yields a formula for the covariance of two functions (of a stochastic variable). In comparison with the Brascamp--Lieb…
Convex PCA, which was introduced in Bigot et al. (2017), modifies Euclidean PCA by restricting the data and the principal components to lie in a given convex subset of a Hilbert space. This setting arises naturally in many applications,…
Examples with bound information on the regression function and density abound in many real applications. We propose a novel approach for estimating such functions by incorporating the prior knowledge on the bounds. Specially, a Gaussian…
Applying Stein's method, an inductive technique and size bias coupling yields a Berry-Esseen theorem for normal approximation without the usual restriction that the coupling be bounded. The theorem is applied to counting the number of…
We generalize 2-Wasserstein dependence coefficients to measure dependence between a finite number of random vectors. This generalization includes theoretical properties, and in particular focuses on an interpretation of maximal dependence…
