The distributional single index model is a semiparametric regression model in which the conditional distribution functions $P(Y \leq y | X = x) = F_0(\theta_0(x), y)$ of a real-valued outcome variable $Y$ depend on $d$-dimensional…

We consider statistical linear inverse problems in separable Hilbert spaces and filter-based reconstruction methods of the form $\hat f_\alpha = q_\alpha \left(T^*T\right)T^*Y$, where $Y$ is the available data, $T$ the forward operator,…

Tensor PCA is a stylized statistical inference problem introduced by Montanari and Richard to study the computational difficulty of estimating an unknown parameter from higher-order moment tensors. Unlike its matrix counterpart, Tensor PCA…

We study two-sample tests for relevant differences in persistence diagrams obtained from $L^p$-$m$-approximable data $(\mathcal{X}_t)_t$ and $(\mathcal{Y}_t)_t$. To this end, we compare variance estimates w.r.t.\ the Wasserstein metrics on…

Power posteriors "robustify" standard Bayesian inference by raising the likelihood to a constant fractional power, effectively downweighting its influence in the calculation of the posterior. Power posteriors have been shown to be more…

Statistical inverse learning aims at recovering an unknown function $f$ from randomly scattered and possibly noisy point evaluations of another function $g$, connected to $f$ via an ill-posed mathematical model. In this paper we blend…

In this paper, we discuss a potential agenda for future work in the theory of random sets and belief functions, touching upon a number of focal issues: the development of a fully-fledged theory of statistical reasoning with random sets,…

We first extend the result of Ali and Silvey [Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B, 28.1 (1966), 131-142] who first reported that any $f$-divergence between two isotropic multivariate Gaussian distributions amounts to a…

We study the estimation of Tsallis entropy of a finite number of independent populations, each following an exponential distribution with the same scale parameter and distinct location parameters for $q>0$. We derive a Stein-type improved…

Empirical process theory for i.i.d. observations has emerged as a ubiquitous tool for understanding the generalization properties of various statistical problems. However, in many applications where the data exhibit temporal dependencies…

We propose solution of the problem of the mean square optimal estimation of linear functionals which depend on the unobserved values of a continuous time stochastic process with periodically correlated increments based on observations of…

We present a result according to which certain functions of covariance matrices are maximized at scalar multiples of the identity matrix. This is used to show that experimental designs that are optimal under an assumption of independent,…

Multi-view data arises frequently in modern network analysis e.g. relations of multiple types among individuals in social network analysis, longitudinal measurements of interactions among observational units, annotated networks with noisy…

We investigate distributional properties of a class of spectral spatial statistics under irregular sampling of a random field that is defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and use this to obtain a test for isotropy. Within this context, edge effects…

We study the compatibility between the optimal statistical parity solutions and individual fairness. While individual fairness seeks to treat similar individuals similarly, optimal statistical parity aims to provide similar treatment to…

We study determinantal point processes (DPP) through the lens of algebraic statistics. We count the critical points of the log-likelihood function, and we compute them for small models, thereby disproving a conjecture of Brunel, Moitra,…

There is a lack of point process models on linear networks. For an arbitrary linear network, we consider new models for a Cox process with an isotropic pair correlation function obtained in various ways by transforming an isotropic Gaussian…

We study the tensor-on-tensor regression, where the goal is to connect tensor responses to tensor covariates with a low Tucker rank parameter tensor/matrix without the prior knowledge of its intrinsic rank. We propose the Riemannian…

A key challenge in analyzing the behavior of change-plane estimators is that the objective function has multiple minimizers. Two estimators are proposed to deal with this non-uniqueness. For each estimator, an n-rate of convergence is…

The singular subspaces perturbation theory is of fundamental importance in probability and statistics. It has various applications across different fields. We consider two arbitrary matrices where one is a leave-one-column-out submatrix of…
