Soft extrapolation refers to the problem of recovering a function from its samples, multiplied by a fast-decaying window and perturbed by an additive noise, over an interval which is potentially larger than the essential support of the…
We study the problem of nonparametric estimation of the linear multiplier function $\theta(t)$ for processes satisfying stochastic differential equations of the type $$dX_t=\theta(t)X_tdt+\epsilon dW_t^{H,K}, X_0=x_0,0\leq t \leq T$$ where…

The minimax theory for estimating linear functionals is extended to the case of a finite union of convex parameter spaces. Upper and lower bounds for the minimax risk can still be described in terms of a modulus of continuity. However in…
The most common way of estimating the anomalous diffusion exponent from single-particle trajectories consists in a linear fitting of the dependence of the time averaged mean square displacement on the lag time at the log-log scale. However,…

Let $\eta=\{\eta(t);t\in [0,1]\}$ be a mean zero continuous Gaussian process with covariance $U=\{U(s,t),s,t\in [ 0,1]\},$ with $U(0,0)>0$. Let $\{\eta_{i};i=1,\ldots, k\}$ be independent copies of $\eta$ and set $ Y_{k}(t)=\sum_{i=1}^{k}…
Functional data analysis is a fast evolving branch of statistics. Estimation procedures for the popular functional linear model either suffer from lack of robustness or are computationally burdensome. To address these shortcomings, a…
In this paper, we consider estimators for an additive functional of $\phi$, which is defined as $\theta(P;\phi)=\sum_{i=1}^k\phi(p_i)$, from $n$ i.i.d. random samples drawn from a discrete distribution $P=(p_1,...,p_k)$ with alphabet size…

The extremal t process was proposed in the literature for modeling spatial extremes within a copula framework based on the extreme value limit of elliptical t distributions (Davison, Padoan and Ribatet (2012)). A major drawback of this…
