In this article, a heuristic approach is used to determined the best approximate distribution of $\dfrac{Y_1}{Y_1 + Y_2}$, given that $Y_1,Y_2$ are independent, and each of $Y_1$ and $Y$ is distributed as the $\mathcal{F}$-distribution with…

The problem of statistical inference for regression coefficients in a high-dimensional single-index model is considered. Under elliptical symmetry, the single index model can be reformulated as a proxy linear model whose regression…

Linear regression studies the problem of estimating a model parameter $\beta^* \in \mathbb{R}^p$, from $n$ observations $\{(y_i,\mathbf{x}_i)\}_{i=1}^n$ from linear model $y_i = \langle \mathbf{x}_i,\beta^* \rangle + \epsilon_i$. We…
