We prove absolute regularity ($\beta$-mixing) for nonstationary and multivariate versions of two popular classes of integer-valued processes. We show how this result can be used to prove asymptotic normality of a least squares estimator of…

We study random points on the real line generated by the eigenvalues in unitary invariant random matrix ensembles or by more general repulsive particle systems. As the number of points tends to infinity, we prove convergence of the…

Statistical modeling is often used to measure the strength of evidence for or against hypotheses on given data. We have previously proposed an information-dynamic framework in support of a properly calibrated measurement scale for…

We devise a general result on the consistency of model-based bootstrap methods for U- and V-statistics under easily verifiable conditions. For that purpose, we derive the limit distributions of degree-2 degenerate U- and V-statistics for…

We propose a block-resampling penalization method for marginal density estimation with nonnecessary independent observations. When the data are $\beta$ or $\tau$-mixing, the selected estimator satisfies oracle inequalities with leading…

Previous studies on two-timescale stochastic approximation (SA) mainly focused on bounding mean-squared errors under diminishing stepsize schemes. In this work, we investigate {\it constant} stpesize schemes through the lens of Markov…

In many data analyses, each measurement may come with a simple yes/no correction; for example, belonging to one of two populations or being contaminated or not. Ignoring such binary effects may bias the results, while accounting for them…

We report a general technique to study a given experimental time series with superstatistics. Crucial for the applicability of the superstatistics concept is the existence of a parameter $\beta$ that fluctuates on a large time scale as…

We propose a testing and estimation methodology for univariate and bivariate symmatric $\alpha$-stable distributions using a modified version of the Greenwood statistic. Originally designed for positive-valued random variables, the…

The assumption of normality has underlain much of the development of statistics, including spatial statistics, and many tests have been proposed. In this work, we focus on the multivariate setting and first review the recent advances in…
