We compute the asymptotic empirical eigenvalue distribution of the matrix $M = \bigodot_{i=1}^k \frac{1}{d_i}X^{(i)}{X^{(i)}}^\top$ where $X^{(i)}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d_i}$ are independent matrices with independent rows but general…

We consider the problem of Gaussian approximation for the $\kappa$th coordinate of a sum of high-dimensional random vectors. Such a problem has been studied previously for $\kappa=1$ (i.e., maxima). However, in many applications, a general…

Let $(\varepsilon_j)_{j\geq 0}$ be a sequence of independent $p-$dimensional random vectors and $\tau\geq1$ a given integer. From a sample $\varepsilon_1,\cdots,\varepsilon_{T+\tau-1},\varepsilon_{T+\tau}$ of the sequence, the so-called lag…

Consider a random sample $X_1 , X_2 , ..., X_n$ drawn independently and identically distributed from some known sampling distribution $P_X$. Let $X_{(1)} \le X_{(2)} \le ... \le X_{(n)}$ represent the order statistics of the sample. The…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

We derive a new (lower) inequality between Kendall's tau? and Spearman's rho? for two-dimensional Extreme-Value Copulas, show that this inequality is sharp in each point and conclude that the comonotonic and the product copula are the only…

In this paper, we study a high-dimensional random matrix model from nonparametric statistics called the Kendall rank correlation matrix, which is a natural multivariate extension of the Kendall rank correlation coefficient. We establish the…

We propose a framework for determining whether the causal dependence of an outcome $Y$ on a covariate $X$ changes at a given time point, given confounders $\boldsymbol{Z}$. For instance, in financial markets, the effect of a market…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we provide a novel characterization of independence of random vectors based on the checkerboard approximation to a multivariate copula. Using this result, we then propose a new family of tests of…

We proposed a new statistical dependency measure called Copula Dependency Coefficient(CDC) for two sets of variables based on copula. It is robust to outliers, easy to implement, powerful and appropriate to high-dimensional variables. These…

Copula models have been widely used to model the dependence between continuous random variables, but modeling count data via copulas has recently become popular in the statistics literature. Spearman's rho is an appropriate and effective…

There has been an increasing interest in testing the equality of large Pearson's correlation matrices. However, in many applications it is more important to test the equality of large rank-based correlation matrices since they are more…

Probability density estimation from observed data constitutes a central task in statistics. In this brief, we focus on the problem of estimating the copula density associated to any observed data, as it fully describes the dependence…

Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) are widely used for goodness-of-fit testing, but standard KSDs can be insensitive to higher-order dependence features such as tail dependence. We introduce the Copula-Stein Discrepancy (CSD), which defines…
