We introduce a test of uniformity for (hyper)spherical data motivated by the stereographic projection. The closed-form expression of the test statistic and its null asymptotic distribution are derived using Gegenbauer polynomials. The power…
We propose a new probabilistic characterization of the uniform distribution on the hypersphere in terms of the distribution of pairwise inner products, extending the ideas of \citep{cuesta2009projection,cuesta2007sharp} in a data-driven…
We consider a stationary $AR(p)$ model. The autoregression parameters are unknown as well as the distribution of innovations. Based on the residuals from the parameter estimates, an analog of empirical distribution function is defined and…
For a stationary sequence that is regularly varying and associated we give conditions which guarantee that partial sums of this sequence, under normalization related to the exponent of regular variation, converge in distribution to a…
The aim of the present work is to show that recent results of the authors on the approximation of distributions of sums of independent summands by the infinitely divisible laws on convex polyhedra can be shown via an alternative class of…
We discuss the so-called "simplifying assumption" of conditional copulas in a general framework. We introduce several tests of the latter assumption for non- and semiparametric copula models. Some related test procedures based on…
We show that for local alternatives which are not square integrable the intermediate (or Kallenberg) efficiency of the Neyman-Pearson test for uniformity with respect to the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is equal to infinity. Contrary…
Kolmogorov nonlinear averaging is complemented by a natural axiom. For this averaging, we prove a theorem on large deviations as well as establish the relationship to the tunnel canonical operator.
For the problems of nonparametric hypothesis testing we introduce the notion of maxisets and maxispace. We point out the maxisets of $\chi^2-$tests, Cramer-von Mises tests, tests generated $\mathbb{L}_2$- norms of kernel estimators and…
The particle number $N$ can be used as a quantitative gauge of non-Gaussianity. This idea extends to systems that are not literally finite by assigning them a notional $N$ that captures the same deviation. For an ideal gas with $N$…
In a multiple testing context, we consider a semiparametric mixture model with two components where one component is known and corresponds to the distribution of $p$-values under the null hypothesis and the other component $f$ is…
We present a novel family of nonparametric omnibus tests of the hypothesis that two unknown but estimable functions are equal in distribution when applied to the observed data structure. We developed these tests, which represent a…
A family of consistent tests, derived from a characterization of the probability generating function, is proposed for assessing Poissonity against a wide class of count distributions, which includes some of the most frequently adopted…
We study the backward Kolmogorov equation on the space of probability measures associated to the Kushner-Stratonovich equation of nonlinear filtering. We prove existence and uniqueness in the viscosity sense and, in particular, we provide a…
Given a discrete-valued sample $X_1,...,X_n$ we wish to decide whether it was generated by a distribution belonging to a family $H_0$, or it was generated by a distribution belonging to a family $H_1$. In this work we assume that all…
We study a class of hypothesis testing problems in which, upon observing the realization of an $n$-dimensional Gaussian vector, one has to decide whether the vector was drawn from a standard normal distribution or, alternatively, whether…
A goodness-of-fit test for one-parameter count distributions with finite second moment is proposed. The test statistic is derived from the $L^1$ distance of a function of the probability generating function of the model under the null…
We consider a permutation method for testing whether observations given in their natural pairing exhibit an unusual level of similarity in situations where any two observations may be similar at some unknown baseline level. Under a null…
``Behind every limit theorem, there is an inequality'' said Kolmogorov. We say ``for every inequality, there is an approximate inequality under approximate regularity conditions.'' Suppose $X, X'$ are independent and identically distributed…
Relying on Kolmogorov's classical characterization of normable Topological Vector spaces, we study the normability of those Probabilistic Normed Spaces that are also Topological Vector spaces and provide a characterization of normable…
