Given samples (x_1,...,x_m) and (z_1,...,z_n) which we believe are independent realizations of random variables X and Z respectively, where we further believe that Z=X+Y with Y independent of X, the problem is to estimate the distribution…

Constraint based causal structure learning for point processes require empirical tests of local independence. Existing tests require strong model assumptions, e.g. that the true data generating model is a Hawkes process with no latent…

We consider a robust version of the classical Wald test statistics for testing simple and composite null hypotheses for general parametric models. These test statistics are based on the minimum density power divergence estimators instead of…

In this article, we derive the weak limiting distribution of the least squares estimator (LSE) of a convex probability mass function (pmf) with a finite support. We show that it can be defined via a certain convex projection of a Gaussian…

Standard Gibbs sampling applied to a multivariate normal distribution with a specified precision matrix is equivalent in fundamental ways to the Gauss-Seidel iterative solution of linear equations in the precision matrix. Specifically, the…

In this paper, we present the Bayesian inference procedures for the parameters of the multivariate random effects model derived under the assumption of an elliptically contoured distribution when the Berger and Bernardo reference and the…

We use combinatorial group theory methods to extend the definition of a classical James-Hopf invariant to a simplicial group setting. This allow us to realize certain coalgebra idempotents at sSet -level and obtain a functorial…

We consider a quantity that measures the roundness of a bounded, convex $d$-polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We majorise this quantity in terms of the smallest singular value of the matrix of outer unit normals to the facets of the polytope.

We prove general de Finetti type theorems for classical and free independence. The de Finetti type theorems work for all non-easy quantum groups, which generalize a recent work of Banica, Curran and Speicher. We determine maximal…

We introduce the notion of dependence, as a property of a Keisler measure, and generalize several results of [HPS13] on generically stable measures (in $NIP$ theories) to arbitrary theories. Among other things, we show that this notion is…

This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular…

In many applications involving binary variables, only pairwise dependence measures, such as correlations, are available. However, for multi-way tables involving more than two variables, these quantities do not uniquely determine the joint…

Parametric hypothesis testing associated with two independent samples arises frequently in several applications in biology, medical sciences, epidemiology, reliability and many more. In this paper, we propose robust Wald-type tests for…

Gibbs random fields play an important role in statistics. However they are complicated to work with due to an intractability of the likelihood function and there has been much work devoted to finding computational algorithms to allow…

We consider the problem of testing whether pairs of univariate random variables are associated. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives and are distribution free. We propose novel tests that…

The multiscale Fisher's independence test (MULTIFIT hereafter) proposed by Gorsky & Ma (2022) is a novel method to test independence between two random vectors. By its design, this test is particularly useful in detecting local dependence.…

Observables in random tensor theory are polynomials in the entries of a tensor of rank $d$ which are invariant under $U(N)^d$. It is notoriously difficult to evaluate the expectations of such polynomials, even in the Gaussian distribution.…
