We study mixed models with a single grouping factor, where inference about unknown parameters requires optimizing a marginal likelihood defined by an intractable integral. Low-dimensional numerical integration techniques are regularly used…

Let $l$ and $m$ be two integers with $l>m\ge 0$, and let $a$ and $b$ be integers with $a\ge 1$ and $a+b\ge 1$. In this paper, we prove that $\log {\rm lcm}_{mn<i\le ln}\{ai+b\} =An+o(n)$, where $A$ is a constant depending on $l, m$ and $a$.

We present a simple proof to a fact recently established in [5]: let $\xi$ be a symmetric random variable that has variance $1$, let $\Gamma=(\xi_{ij})$ be an $N \times n$ random matrix whose entries are independent copies of $\xi$, and set…

In this paper, we consider the usual linear regression model in the case where the error process is assumed strictly stationary. We use a result from Hannan, who proved a Central Limit Theorem for the usual least squares estimator under…

We represent the number of mxn non-negative integer matrices (contingency tables) with prescribed row sums and column sums as the expected value of the permanent of a non-negative random matrix with exponentially distributed entries. We…

For a family of random-cluster models with cluster weights $q\geq 1$, we prove that the probability that $0$ is connected to $x$ is asymptotically equal to $\tfrac{1}{q}\chi(\beta)^{2}\beta J_{0,x}$. The method developed in this article can…

For positive $q\neq1$, the $q$-exchangeability of an infinite random word is introduced as quasi-invariance under permutations of letters, with a special cocycle which accounts for inversions in the word. This framework allows us to extend…

Without using the classification of finite simple groups, we show that the probability that two random elements of $S_n$ generate a primitive group smaller than $A_n$ is at most $\exp(-c(n \log n)^{1/2})$. As a corollary we get Dixon's…

In this paper, the maximum L$q$-likelihood estimator (ML$q$E), a new parameter estimator based on nonextensive entropy [Kibernetika 3 (1967) 30--35] is introduced. The properties of the ML$q$E are studied via asymptotic analysis and…

Asymptotics deviation probabilities of the sum S n = X 1 + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + X n of independent and identically distributed real-valued random variables have been extensively investigated , in particular when X 1 is not…

We establish new estimates for the number of $m$-smooth polynomials of degree $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the main term involves the number of $m$-smooth permutations on $n$ elements. Our estimates imply that the…

This paper is devoted to the structure of the complete asymptotic expansion of the probability that a large combinatorial object is irreducible or consists of a given number of irreducible parts, where irreducibility is understood in terms…

Let $\mathbf X$ be a random matrix whose pairs of entries $X_{jk}$ and $X_{kj}$ are correlated and vectors $ (X_{jk},X_{kj})$, for $1\le j<k\le n$, are mutually independent. Assume that the diagonal entries are independent from off-diagonal…

Let $Q_n$ be a random $n\times n$ matrix with entries in $\{0,1\}$ whose rows are independent vectors of exactly $n/2$ zero components. We show that the smallest singular value $s_n(Q_n)$ of $Q_n$ satisfies \[ \mathbb{P}\Big\{s_n(Q_n)\le…

The minimal excludant statistic, which denotes the smallest positive integer that is not a part of an integer partition, has received great interest in recent years. In this paper, we move on to the smallest positive integer whose frequency…

We study pairs and m--tuples of compositions of a positive integer n with parts restricted to a subset P of positive integers. We obtain some exact enumeration results for the number of tuples of such compositions having the same number of…

We present here a method which allows to derive a nontrivial lower bounds for the least common multiple of some finite sequences of integers. We obtain efficient lower bounds (which in a way are optimal) for the arithmetic progressions and…
