We present an extension of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) two-sample test, which can be more sensitive to differences in the tails. Our test statistic is an integral probability metric (IPM) defined over a higher-order total variation ball,…

Stochastic perturbations (radial) of a spherically symmetric relativistic star, modeled by a perfect fluid in comoving coordinates for the collapse scenario are worked out using the classical Einstein- Langevin equation, which has been…

We establish a new symmetrization procedure for the isoperimetric problem in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. This symmetrization generalizes the well known Steiner symmetrization in euclidean space. In contrast to the classical…

Consider $n$ iid random variables, where $\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_n$ are $n$ realisations of a random variable $\xi$ and $\zeta_1, \ldots, \zeta_n$ are $n$ realisations of a random variable $\zeta$. The distribution of each realisation of $\xi$,…

Testing equality of two multivariate distributions is a classical problem for which many non-parametric tests have been proposed over the years. Most of the popular two-sample tests, which are asymptotically distribution-free, are based…

This paper investigates improved testing inferences under a general multivariate elliptical regression model. The model is very flexible in terms of the specification of the mean vector and the dispersion matrix, and of the choice of the…

We construct the general spherically symmetric and self-similar solution of the Einstein-Vlasov system (collisionless matter coupled to general relativity) with massless particles, under certain regularity conditions. Such solutions have a…
