We consider the problem of hypotheses testing with the basic simple hypothesis: observed sequence of points corresponds to stationary Poisson process with known intensity against a composite one-sided parametric alternative that this is a…

We study a class of hypothesis testing problems in which, upon observing the realization of an $n$-dimensional Gaussian vector, one has to decide whether the vector was drawn from a standard normal distribution or, alternatively, whether…

It is well-known that density estimation on the unit interval is asymptotically equivalent to a Gaussian white noise experiment, provided the densities are sufficiently smooth and uniformly bounded away from zero. We show that a uniform…

We consider the problem of testing hypotheses on the copula density from $n$ bi-dimensional observations. We wish to test the null hypothesis characterized by a parametric class against a composite nonparametric alternative. Each density…

We show that a uniform measure density condition implies game regularity for all $2<p<\infty$ in a stochastic game called 'tug-of-war with noise'. The proof utilizes suitable choices of strategies combined with estimates for the associated…

We consider testing statistical hypotheses about densities of signals in deconvolution models. A new approach to this problem is proposed. We constructed score tests for the deconvolution with the known noise density and efficient score…

We give a simple conceptual proof of the consistency of a test for multivariate uniformity in a bounded set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ that is based on the maximal spacing generated by i.i.d. points $X_1, \ldots,X_n$ in $K$, i.e., the volume…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the reachable set, i.e., the set of states reachable from a ball of initial states at some time, of an ordinary differential equation to be convex. In particular, convexity is guaranteed…

Hypothesis test plays a key role in uncertain statistics based on uncertain measure. This paper extends the parametric hypothesis of a single uncertain population to multiple cases, thereby addressing a broader range of scenarios. First, an…

We consider a data-driven robust hypothesis test where the optimal test will minimize the worst-case performance regarding distributions that are close to the empirical distributions with respect to the Wasserstein distance. This leads to a…

In this research, inferential theory for hypothesis testing under general convex cone alternatives for correlated data is developed. While there exists extensive theory for hypothesis testing under smooth cone alternatives with independent…

In this paper we study the continuous dependence with respect to obstacles for obstacle problems with measure data. This is deeply investigated introducing a suitable type of convergence, which gives stability under very general hypotheses.…

When do nonparametric Bayesian procedures ``overfit''? To shed light on this question, we consider a binary regression problem in detail and establish frequentist consistency for a certain class of Bayes procedures based on hierarchical…
