The beta distribution is the best-known distribution for modelling doubly-bounded data, \eg percentage data or probabilities. A new generalization of the beta distribution is proposed, which uses a cubic transformation of the beta random…
The assumption of normality in data has been considered in the field of statistical analysis for a long time. However, in many practical situations, this assumption is clearly unrealistic. It has recently been suggested that the use of…
Log symmetric distributions are useful in modeling data which show high skewness and have found applications in various fields. Using a recent characterization for log symmetric distributions, we propose a goodness of fit test for testing…
Deep neural networks often suffer the data distribution shift between training and testing, and the batch statistics are observed to reflect the shift. In this paper, targeting of alleviating distribution shift in test time, we revisit the…
We study the skewness premium (SK) introduced by Bates (1991) in a general context using L\'evy Processes. Under a symmetry condition Fajardo and Mordecki (2006) obtain that SK is given by the Bate's $x%$ rule. In this paper we study SK…
Disordered systems such as spin glasses have been used extensively as models for high-dimensional random landscapes and studied from the perspective of optimization algorithms. In a recent paper by L. Addario-Berry and the second author,…
We provide a distribution-free test that can be used to determine whether any two joint distributions $p$ and $q$ are statistically different by inspection of a large enough set of samples. Following recent efforts from Long et al. [1], we…
Test-Time Adaptation aims to adapt source domain model to testing data at inference stage with success demonstrated in adapting to unseen corruptions. However, these attempts may fail under more challenging real-world scenarios. Existing…
Two classes of GRBs have been confidently identified thus far and are prescribed to different physical scenarios -- NS-NS or NS-BH mergers, and collapse of massive stars, for short and long GRBs, respectively. A third, intermediate in…
A new non-parametric statistic is introduced for the characterization of deviations from power laws. It is tested on the distribution of seismic energies given by the Gutenberg-Richter law. Based on the two first statistical log-moments, it…
There is a wide availability of methods for testing normality under the assumption of independent and identically distributed data. When data are dependent in space and/or time, however, assessing and testing the marginal behavior is…
Similar to the generalized extreme value (GEV) family, the generalized extreme value distributions under power normalization are introduced by Roudsari (1999) and Barakat et al. (2013). In this article, we study the asymptotic behavior of…
In this paper, an alpha-beta-skew-logistic distribution is proposed following the same methodology as those of alpha-beta-skew-normal of Shafiei et al. (2016) and investigated some of its related distributional properties. Finally, the…
Anomaly detection involves identifying instances within a dataset that deviate from the norm and occur infrequently. Current benchmarks tend to favor methods biased towards low diversity in normal data, which does not align with real-world…
A/B testing has become the cornerstone of decision-making in online markets, guiding how platforms launch new features, optimize pricing strategies, and improve user experience. In practice, we typically employ the pairwise $t$-test to…
This paper presents a simple yet effective method for anomaly detection. The main idea is to learn small perturbations to perturb normal data and learn a classifier to classify the normal data and the perturbed data into two different…
Several distributions and families of distributions are proposed to model skewed data, think, e.g., of skew-normal and related distributions. Lambert W random variables offer an alternative approach where, instead of constructing a new…
There are three classical divergence measures known in the literature on information theory and statistics. These are namely, Jeffryes-Kullback-Leiber \cite{jef} \cite{kul} \textit{J-divergence}. Sibson-Burbea-Rao \cite{sib} \cite{bur1,…
Various statistical tests have been developed for testing the equality of means in matched pairs with missing values. However, most existing methods are commonly based on certain distributional assumptions such as normality, 0-symmetry or…
Bayesian A/B testing investigates metric changes using the joint posterior distribution of two (or more) experimentally-derived datasets. The construction of said joint posterior is often a time-consuming process requiring specialized…
