In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of a new class of multi-dimensional diffusions in random environment. We introduce cut times in the spirit of the work done by Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni, see [4], in the…
ML-estimation based on mixtures of Normal distributions is a widely used tool for cluster analysis. However, a single outlier can make the parameter estimation of at least one of the mixture components break down. Among others, the…
The irregularities of a distribution of $N$ points in the unit interval are often measured with various notions of discrepancy. The discrepancy function can be defined with respect to intervals of the form $[0,t)\subset [0,1)$ or arbitrary…
A general approach to transference principles for discrete and continuous operator (semi)groups is described. This allows to recover the classical transference results of Calder\'on, Coifman and Weiss and of Berkson, Gillespie and Muhly and…
Robust estimation has played an important role in statistical and machine learning. However, its applications to functional linear regression are still under-developed. In this paper, we focus on Huber's loss with a diverging robustness…
The broken random sample problem was first introduced by DeGroot, Feder, and Gole (1971, Ann. Math. Statist.): in each observation (batch), a random sample of $M$ i.i.d. point pairs $ ((X_i,Y_i))_{i=1}^M$ is drawn from a joint distribution…
One of the earliest agent-based economical models, Schelling's spacial proximity model illustrated how global segregation can emerge, often unwanted, from the actions of agents of two races acting in accordance with their individual local…
Change point analysis has applications in a wide variety of fields. The general problem concerns the inference of a change in distribution for a set of time-ordered observations. Sequential detection is an online version in which new data…
We study the problem of change point localisation and inference for sequentially collected fragmented functional data, where each curve is observed only over discrete grids randomly sampled over a short fragment. The sequence of underlying…
A companion paper develops a framework in which probability measures are represented by distribution-kernel pairs (T,phi) with T a tempered distribution and phi a Schwartz kernel, so that weak moments of all orders exist unconditionally.…
This article is partly a survey and partly a research paper. It tackles the use of Groebner bases for addressing problems of numerical semigroups, which is a topic that has been around for some years, but it does it in a systematic way…
The concept of statistical depth extends the notions of the median and quantiles to other statistical models. These procedures aim to formalize the idea of identifying deeply embedded fits to a model that are less influenced by…
This paper deals with four types of point estimators based on minimization of information-theoretic divergences between hypothetical and empirical distributions. These were introduced (i) by Liese & Vajda (2006) and independently…
In this article I describe my recent geometric localization argument dealing with actions of NONcompact groups which provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the…
We consider transfer functions of time--invariant systems as defined by Basseville, Benveniste, Nikoukhah and Willsky when the discrete time is replaced by the nodes of an homogeneous tree. The complex numbers are now replaced by a…
We revisit the classical broken sample problem: Two samples of i.i.d. data points $\mathbf{X}=\{X_1,\cdots, X_n\}$ and $\mathbf{Y}=\{Y_1,\cdots,Y_m\}$ are observed without correspondence with $m\leq n$. Under the null hypothesis,…
We extend the construction of generalized fixed point algebras to the setting of locally compact quantum groups - in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes - following the treatment of Marc Rieffel, Ruy Exel and Ralf Meyer in the group case. We…
This paper is concerned with estimation and inference for the location of a change point in the mean of independent high-dimensional data. Our change point location estimator maximizes a new U-statistic based objective function, and its…
In [arXiv:1904.12333], we introduced the concept of escaping set in general setting for a topological space and extended the notion of limit set and escaping set for the general semigroup generated by continuous self maps. In this paper we…
In this paper we present a fixed point property for amenable hypergroups which is analogous to Rickert's fixed point theorem for semigroups. It equates the existence of a left invariant mean on the space of weakly right uniformly continuous…
