We study almost sure limiting behavior of extreme and intermediate order statistics arising from strictly stationary sequences. First, we provide sufficient dependence conditions under which these order statistics converges almost surely to…
Current questions in ecology revolve around instabilities in the dynamics on spatial networks and particularly the effect of node heterogeneity. We extend the Master Stability Function formalism to inhomogeneous biregular networks having…
In this paper, we explore the two-star Exponential Random Graph Model, which is a two parameter exponential family on the space of simple labeled graphs. We introduce auxiliary variables to express the two-star model as a mixture of the…
We present an extension of the ergodic, mixing and Bernoulli levels of the ergodic hierarchy in dynamical systems, the information geometric ergodic hierarchy (IGEH), making use of statistical models on curved manifolds in the context of…
This paper deals with empirical processes of the type \[C_n(B)=\sqrt{n}\{\mu_n(B)-P(X_{n+1}\in B\mid X_1,...,X_n)\},\] where $(X_n)$ is a sequence of random variables and $\mu_n=(1/n)\sum_{i=1}^n\delta_{X_i}$ the empirical measure.…
We prove the asymptotic independence of the empirical process $\alpha_n = \sqrt{n}( F_n - F)$ and the rescaled empirical distribution function $\beta_n = n (F_n(\tau+\frac{\cdot}{n})-F_n(\tau))$, where $F$ is an arbitrary cdf,…
Unmeasured spatial confounding complicates exposure effect estimation in environmental health studies. This problem is exacerbated in studies with multiple health outcomes and environmental exposure variables, as the source and magnitude of…
This paper studies beta ensembles on the real line in a high temperature regime, that is, the regime where $\beta N \to const \in (0, \infty)$, with $N$ the system size and $\beta$ the inverse temperature. In this regime, the convergence to…
Numerical approximation of the long time behavior of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) is considered. Error estimates for time-averaging estimators are obtained and then used to show that the stationary behavior of the numerical…

Superstatistics [C. Beck and E.G.D. Cohen, Physica A 322, 267 (2003)] is a formalism aimed at describing statistical properties of a generic extensive quantity E in complex out-of-equilibrium systems in terms of a superposition of…
Statistical matching aims to integrate two statistical sources. These sources can be two samples or a sample and the entire population. If two samples have been selected from the same population and information has been collected on…
Concentration inequalities have become increasingly popular in machine learning, probability, and statistical research. Using concentration inequalities, one can construct confidence intervals (CIs) for many quantities of interest.…
Given a sample from a multivariate distribution $F$, the uniform random variates generated independently and rearranged in the order specified by the componentwise ranks of the original sample look like a sample from the copula of $F$. This…
We study (asymmetric) $U$-statistics based on a stationary sequence of $m$-dependent variables; moreover, we consider constrained $U$-statistics, where the defining multiple sum only includes terms satisfying some restrictions on the gaps…
The asymptotic validity of a resampling method for two sequential processes constructed from non-degenerate $U$-statistics is established under mixing conditions. The resampling schemes, referred to as {\em dependent multiplier bootstraps},…
