We define a general V-fold cross-validation type method based on robust tests, which is an extension of the hold-out defined by Birg{\'e} [7, Section 9]. We give some theoretical results showing that, under some weak assumptions on the…

The paper is devoted to tests for uniformity based on sum-functions of overlapping spacings, where the order of spacings can diverge to infinity as the sample size increases. In particular, it is shown that the asymptotic local power of…

We propose a "decomposition method" to prove non-asymptotic bound for the convergence of empirical measures in various dual norms. The main point is to show that if one measures convergence in duality with sufficiently regular observables,…
