We study the asymptotic behavior of the Maximum Likelihood and Least Squares Estimators of a $k$-monotone density $g_0$ at a fixed point $x_0$ when $k>2$. We find that the $j$th derivative of the estimators at $x_0$ converges at the rate…
In this study, a family of distributions called cubic lower record-based transmuted is provided. A special case of this family is proposed as an alternative exponential distribution. Several statistical properties are explored. We utilize…
We derive high-probability finite-sample uniform rates of consistency for $k$-NN regression that are optimal up to logarithmic factors under mild assumptions. We moreover show that $k$-NN regression adapts to an unknown lower intrinsic…
In this article, the joint best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) of two future unobserved order statistics, based on a set of observed order statistics, are developed explicitly. It is shown that these predictors are trace-efficient as…
Statistical modelling of covariate distributions allows to generate virtual populations or to impute missing values in a covariate dataset. Covariate distributions typically have non-Gaussian margins and show nonlinear correlation…
In this article, we consider the estimation of the marginal distributions for pairs of data are recorded, with unobserved order in each pair. New estimators are proposed and their asymptotic properties are established, by proving a…
We consider the Gumbel or extreme value statistics describing the distribution function p_G(x_max) of the maximum values of a random field x within patches of fixed size. We present, for smooth Gaussian random fields in two and three…
Based on string theory, black hole physics, doubly special relativity and some "thought" experiments, minimal distance and/or maximum momentum are proposed. As alternatives to the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), the modified…
In descriptive statistics, $U$-statistics arise naturally in producing minimum-variance unbiased estimators. In 1984, Serfling considered the distribution formed by evaluating the kernel of the $U$-statistics and proposed generalized…
Using different extropies of k record values various characterizations are provided for continuous symmetric distributions. The results are in addition to the results of Ahmadi, J. (Statistical Papers, 2021, 62:2603-2626). These include…
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for deploying machine learning models in safety-critical physical systems, yet classical Bayesian approaches incur substantial computational overhead. We establish a formal connection between…
The problem of estimating the Kullback-Leibler divergence $D(P\|Q)$ between two unknown distributions $P$ and $Q$ is studied, under the assumption that the alphabet size $k$ of the distributions can scale to infinity. The estimation is…
Let $X_1,~X_2,\cdots$ be a sequence of i.i.d random variables which are supposed to be observed in sequence. The $n$th value in the sequence is a $k-record~value$ if exactly $k$ of the first $n$ values (including $X_n$) are at least as…
Consider random k-circulants A_{k,n} with n tends to infinity, k=k(n) and whose input sequence \{a_l\}_{l \ge 0} is independent with mean zero and variance one and \sup_n n^{-1}\sum_{l=1}^n \E |a_l|^{2+\delta}< \infty for some \delta > 0.…
K-means clustering is a workhorse of unsupervised learning, but it is notoriously brittle to outliers, distribution shifts, and limited sample sizes. Viewing k-means as Lloyd--Max quantization of the empirical distribution, we develop a…
In another related work, U-statistics were used for non-asymptotic "average-case" analysis of random compressed sensing matrices. In this companion paper the same analytical tool is adopted differently - here we perform non-asymptotic…
The Teissier distribution, originally proposed by Teissier [31], was designed to model mortality due to aging in domestic animals. More recently, Krishna et al. [19] introduced the Unit Teissier (UT) distribution on the interval (0, 1)…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most potent probes of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), offering direct constraints on the quantum gravity energy scale ($E_{\rm QG}$) based on observations of energy-dependent time lags. Individual…
Suppose $k$ centers are fit to $m$ points by heuristically minimizing the $k$-means cost; what is the corresponding fit over the source distribution? This question is resolved here for distributions with $p\geq 4$ bounded moments; in…
Weibull distribution has received a wide range of applications in engineering and science. The utility and usefulness of an estimator is highly subject to the field of practitioner's study. In practice users looking for their desired…
