A distributed average consensus algorithm robust to a wide range of impulsive channel noise distributions is proposed. This work is the first of its kind in the literature to propose a consensus algorithm which relaxes the requirement of…
As a growing number of problems involve variables that are random objects, the development of models for such data has become increasingly important. This paper introduces a novel varying-coefficient Fr\'echet regression model that extends…
A generalization of the classical concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) is considered under a three-level design where multiple raters rate every subject over time, and each rater is rating every subject multiple times at each measuring…
We propose lacunarity as a novel recurrence quantification measure and illustrate its efficacy to detect dynamical regime transitions which are exhibited by many complex real-world systems. We carry out a recurrence plot based analysis for…
Higher-Order Influence Functions (HOIFs) provide a unified theory for constructing rate-optimal estimators for a large class of low-dimensional (smooth) statistical functionals/parameters (and sometimes even infinite-dimensional functions)…
Fields like public health, public policy, and social science often want to quantify the degree of dependence between variables whose relationships take on unknown functional forms. Typically, in fact, researchers in these fields are…
An approach to inference for relative sparsity was developed in prior work, and an adaptive lasso asymptotic normality theorem was given there, but this theorem was not fully used when estimating the variance of the policy coefficients.…
Distance covariance is a measure of dependence between two random variables that take values in two, in general different, metric spaces, see Sz\'ekely, Rizzo and Bakirov (2007) and Lyons (2013). It is known that the distance covariance,…
Coherence is a defining property of quantum theory that accounts for quantum advantage in many quantum information tasks. Although many coherence quantifiers have been introduced in various contexts, the lack of efficient methods to…
A CUSUM type test for constant correlation that goes beyond a previously suggested correlation constancy test by considering Spearman's rho in arbitrary dimensions is proposed. Since the new test does not require the existence of any…
We study second order consensus dynamics with random additive disturbances. We investigate three different performance measures: the steady-state variance of pairwise differences between vertex states, the steady-state variance of the…
Explanatory systems make the behavior of machine learning models more transparent, but are often inconsistent. To quantify the differences between explanatory systems, this paper presents the Shreyan Distance, a novel metric based on the…
Increasingly, critical decisions in public policy, governance, and business strategy rely on a deeper understanding of the needs and opinions of constituent members (e.g. citizens, shareholders). While it has become easier to collect a…
In modern randomized experiments, large-scale data collection increasingly yields rich baseline covariates and auxiliary information from multiple sources. Such information offers opportunities for more precise treatment effect estimation,…
The discussion focuses on metric covariance, a new association measure between paired random objects in a metric space, developed by Dubey and M\"uller, and on its relationship with other similar concepts which have previously appeared in…
The identification of new rare signals in data, the detection of a sudden change in a trend, and the selection of competing models, are among the most challenging problems in statistical practice. These challenges can be tackled using a…
This paper introduces a unified framework for the detection of a source with a sensor array in the context where the noise variance and the channel between the source and the sensors are unknown at the receiver. The Generalized Maximum…
A new family of nonparametric statistics, the r-statistics, is introduced. It consists of counting the number of records of the cumulative sum of the sample. The single-sample r-statistic is almost as powerful as Student's t-statistic for…
In this work we define a spatial concordance coefficient for second-order stationary processes. This problem has been widely addressed in a non-spatial context, but here we consider a coefficient that for a fixed spatial lag allows one to…
Pearson's r, the most widely-used correlation coefficient, is traditionally regarded as exclusively capturing linear dependence, leading to its discouragement in contexts involving nonlinear relationships. However, recent research…
