Given $A,B\in M_n(\mathbb R)$, we consider the Cauchy problem for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems having the form \begin{equation*} \partial_{t}u+A\partial_{x}u+Bu=0, \end{equation*} with the aim of providing a detailed description…
For a class of weakly hyperbolic systems of the form D_t - A(t,x,D_x), where A(t,x,D_x) is a first-order pseudodifferential operator whose principal symbol degenerates like t^{l_*} at time t=0, for some integer l_* \geq 1, well-posedness of…
Classical peaks over threshold analysis is widely used for statistical modeling of sample extremes, and can be supplemented by a model for the sizes of clusters of exceedances. Under mild conditions a compound Poisson process model allows…
Ising models originated in statistical physics and are widely used in modeling spatial data and computer vision problems. However, statistical inference of this model remains challenging due to intractable nature of the normalizing constant…
We consider estimation of the parameters of a Gaussian Stochastic Process (GaSP), in the context of emulation (approximation) of computer models for which the outcomes are real-valued scalars. The main focus is on estimation of the GaSP…
Limit distributions of likelihood ratio statistics are well-known to be discontinuous in the presence of nuisance parameters at the boundary of the parameter space, which lead to size distortions when standard critical values are used for…

We study sufficient conditions for local asymptotic mixed normality. We weaken the sufficient conditions in Theorem 1 of Jeganathan (Sankhya Ser. A 1982) so that they can be applied to a wider class of statistical models including a…

Parameter estimation is a growing area of interest in statistical signal processing. Some parameters in real-life applications vary in space as opposed to those that are static. Most common methods in estimating parameters involve solving…
