We consider estimation procedures which are recursive in the sense that each successive estimator is obtained from the previous one by a simple adjustment. The model considered in the paper is very general as we do not impose any…

Generalised linear models for multi-class classification problems are one of the fundamental building blocks of modern machine learning tasks. In this manuscript, we characterise the learning of a mixture of $K$ Gaussians with generic means…

We prove conditional asymptotic normality of a class of quadratic U-statistics that are dominated by their degenerate second order part and have kernels that change with the number of observations. These statistics arise in the construction…

We introduce a class of paired binary matrices called admixed arrays, which arise in analyses of large-scale genetic data and can be viewed as weighted edge colorings of complete bipartite graphs. This combinatorial structure gives rise to…

The asymptotic analysis of covariance parameter estimation of Gaussian processes has been subject to intensive investigation. However, this asymptotic analysis is very scarce for non-Gaussian processes. In this paper, we study a class of…

Although the $p_1$ model was proposed 40 years ago, little progress has been made to address asymptotic theories in this model, that is, neither consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) nor other parameter estimation with…

Non-standard distributional approximations have received considerable attention in recent years. They often provide more accurate approximations in small samples, and theoretical improvements in some cases. This paper shows that the…
