We solve the comparison problem for generalized $\psi$-estimators introduced in Barczy and P\'ales (2022). Namely, we derive several necessary and sufficient conditions under which a generalized $\psi$-estimator less than or equal to…

We give axiomatic characterisations of generalized $\psi$-estimators and (usual) $\psi$-estimators (also called $Z$-estimators), respectively. The key properties of estimators that come into play in the characterisation theorems are the…

We prove that the values of a generalized $\psi$-estimator (introduced by Barczy and P\'ales in 2025) on samples of arbitrary length but having only two different observations uniquely determine the values of the estimator on any sample of…

We introduce the notions of generalized and weighted generalized $\psi$-estimators as unique points of sign change of some appropriate functions, and we give necessary as well as sufficient conditions for their existence. We also derive a…

We investigate the monotone representation and measurability of generalized $\psi$-estimators introduced by the authors in 2022. Our first main result, applying the unique existence of a generalized $\psi$-estimator, allows us to construct…

The sizes of subsets of the natural numbers are typically quantified in terms of asymptotic (linear) and logarithmic densities. These concepts have been generalized to weighted $w$-densities, where a specific weight function $w$ plays a key…

Hardy property of means has been extensively studied by P\'ales and Pasteczka since 2016. The core of this research is based on few of their properties: concavity, symmetry, monotonicity, repetition invariance and homogeneity (last axiom…

Statistical models incorporating change points are common in practice, especially in the area of biomedicine. This approach is appealing in that a specific parameter is introduced to account for the abrupt change in the response variable…

In this article, we study the properties of $\psi$-amicable numbers. We prove that their asymptotic density relative to the positive integers is zero. We also propose generalizations of $\psi$-amicable numbers.

We present a new class of estimators of Shannon entropy for severely undersampled discrete distributions. It is based on a generalization of an estimator proposed by T. Schuermann, which itself is a generalization of an estimator proposed…

Standard maximum likelihood estimation cannot be applied to discrete energy-based models in the general case because the computation of exact model probabilities is intractable. Recent research has seen the proposal of several new…

The subject of robust estimation in time series is widely discussed in literature. One of the approaches is to use GM-estimation. This method incorporates a broad class of nonparametric estimators which under suitable conditions includes…

In the partially-observed outcome setting, a recent set of proposals known as "prediction-powered inference" (PPI) involve (i) applying a pre-trained machine learning model to predict the response, and then (ii) using these predictions to…
