The Hermite rank appears in limit theorems involving long memory. We show that an Hermite rank higher than one is unstable when the data is slightly perturbed by transformations such as shift and scaling. We carry out a "near higher order…
We determine the asymptotic distribution of the sum of correlated variables described by a matrix product ansatz with finite matrices, considering variables with finite variances. In cases when the correlation length is finite, the law of…
The contact process with an asymptomatic state, introduced in [Belhadji, Lanchier and Mercer, Stochastic Process. Appl., 176:104417, 2024], is a natural variant of the basic contact process that distinguishes between asymptomatic (state 1)…
A pair of variables that tend to rise and fall either together or in opposition are said to be monotonically associated. For certain phenomena, this tendency is causally restricted to a subpopulation, as, for example, an allergic reaction…
The raking-ratio method is a statistical and computational method which adjusts the empirical measure to match the true probability of sets of a finite partition. We study the asymptotic behavior of the raking-ratio empirical process…
A local convergence rate is established for a Gauss orthogonal collocation method applied to optimal control problems with control constraints. If the Hamiltonian possesses a strong convexity property, then the theory yields convergence for…
We compare face-to-face interaction data recorded by wearable sensors in various sociological environments. The interactions among individuals display a clear environment-dependent diversity in agreement with previous analyses. The contact…
In this paper, we propose a general mathematical framework to represent many multi-agent signalling systems in recent works. Our goal is to apply previous results in monotonicity to this class of systems and study their asymptotic behavior.…
We study asymptotic properties of supercritical Galton-Watson (GW) branching processes in the asymptotic where the mean of the offspring distribution approaches 1 from above. We show that the population-size distribution of the GW branching…
This paper provides a selective review of the statistical network analysis literature focused on clustering and inference problems for stochastic blockmodels and their variants. We survey asymptotic normality results for stochastic…
The angular measure on the unit sphere characterizes the first-order dependence structure of the components of a random vector in extreme regions and is defined in terms of standardized margins. Its statistical recovery is an important step…
We use tools of the equilibrium statistical mechanics of disordered systems to study analytically the statistical properties of an ecosystem composed of N species interacting via random, Gaussian interactions of order p >= 2, and…
A common method for deriving non-parametric tests is to reformulate a parametric test in terms of sample ranks. Despite being distribution free (even in finite samples), the resulting tests often display remarkable asymptotic power…
Several methods are available in the literature to stochastically compare random variables and random vectors. We introduce the notion of asymptotic stochastic order for random processes and define four such orders. Various properties and…
For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…
In the Gale-Shapley model of two-sided matching, it is well known that for generic preferences, the outcomes for each side can vary dramatically in the male-optimal vs. female-optimal stable matchings. In this paper, we show that under a…
A population genetics model based on a multitype branching process, or equivalently a Galton-Watson branching process for multiple alleles, is pre- sented. The diffusion limit forward Kolmogorov equation is derived for the case of neutral…
We consider tensor factorizations based on sparse measurements of the components of relatively high rank tensors. The measurements are designed in a way that the underlying graph of interactions is a random graph. The setup will be useful…
We introduce a rank-statistic approximation of $f$-divergences that avoids explicit density-ratio estimation by working directly with the distribution of ranks. For a resolution parameter $K$, we map the mismatch between two univariate…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field and let $G$ denote its Sato-Tate group. Under the assumption of certain standard conjectures on $L$-functions attached to the irreducible representations of $G$, we study the…
