We prove that the empirical spectral distribution of a (d_L, d_R)-biregular, bipartite random graph, under certain conditions, converges to a symmetrization of the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur distribution of random matrix theory. This convergence…
In this paper, a shrinkage estimator for the population mean is proposed under known quadratic loss functions with unknown covariance matrices. The new estimator is non-parametric in the sense that it does not assume a specific parametric…
It is known (Hofmann-Credner and Stolz (2008)) that the convergence of the mean empirical spectral distribution of a sample covariance matrix W_n = 1/n Y_n Y_n^t to the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law remains unaffected if the rows and columns of…
Stirling numbers of the first kind are common in number theory and combinatorics; through Ewen's sampling formula, these numbers enter into the calculation of several population genetics statistics, such as Fu's Fs. In previous papers we…
For $k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}$, we consider $n^k\times n^k$ random matrices of the form $$ \mathcal{M}_{n,m,k}(\mathbf{y})=\sum_{\alpha=1}^m\tau_\alpha {Y_\alpha}Y_\alpha^T,\quad…
The stellar population synthesis in unresolved composite objects is a very tricky problem. Indeed, it is a degenerate problem since many parameters affect the observables. The stellar population synthesis issue thus deserves a deep and…
Let $\mathbf X=(X_{jk})$ denote $n\times p$ random matrix with entries $X_{jk}$, which are independent for $1\le j\le n,1\le k\le p$. We consider the rate of convergence of empirical spectral distribution function of the matrix $\mathbf…
The class of $\alpha$-stable distributions enjoys multiple practical applications in signal processing, finance, biology and other areas because it allows to describe interesting and complex data patterns, such as asymmetry or heavy tails,…
In this paper, we establish some new central limit theorems for certain spectral statistics of a high-dimensional sample covariance matrix under a divergent spectral norm population model. This model covers the divergent spiked population…
In a previous article, a least square regression estimation procedure was proposed: first, we condiser a family of functions and study the properties of an estimator in every unidimensionnal model defined by one of these functions; we then…
We study a $q$-deformed random unitary ensemble associated with the little-$q$ Laguerre weight, which provides a discrete analogue of the classical Laguerre unitary ensemble. In the double scaling regime $q=e^{-\lambda/N}$, where $N$ is the…
Discriminating data classes emanating from sensors is an important problem with many applications in science and technology. We describe a new transform for pattern identification that interprets patterns as probability density functions,…
Suppose one has a collection of parameters indexed by a (possibly infinite dimensional) set. Given data generated from some distribution, the objective is to estimate the maximal parameter in this collection evaluated at this distribution.…
Large-scale sequential data is often exposed to some degree of inhomogeneity in the form of sudden changes in the parameters of the data-generating process. We consider the problem of detecting such structural changes in a high-dimensional…
The eigenvector Empirical Spectral Distribution (VESD) is adopted to investigate the limiting behavior of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of covariance matrices. In this paper, we shall show that the Kolmogorov distance between the expected…
In a mixed generalized linear model, the goal is to learn multiple signals from unlabeled observations: each sample comes from exactly one signal, but it is not known which one. We consider the prototypical problem of estimating two…
It is shown that the Kolmogorov distance between the spectral distribution function of a random covariance matrix $\frac1p XX^T$, where $X$ is a $n\times p$ matrix with independent entries and the distribution function of the…
We consider the classic problem of estimating T, the total number of species in a population, from repeated counts in a simple random sample. We look first at the Chao-Lee estimator: we initially show that such estimator can be obtained by…
Markov chain Monte Carlo is widely used in a variety of scientific applications to generate approximate samples from intractable distributions. A thorough understanding of the convergence and mixing properties of these Markov chains can be…
We study parameter identification problems in a structured population model without mutations. Given measurements of the total population size or critical points of the population, we aim to recover its growth rate, death rate or initial…
