A method for ray-tracing through n-body simulations has been recently proposed. It is based on a periodic universe covered by simulation boxes. Photons move along appropriate directions to avoid periodicity effects. Here, an improved…

CUSUMs based on the signed sequential ranks of observations are developed for detecting location and scale changes in symmetric distributions. The CUSUMs are distribution free and fully self-starting: given a specified in-control median and…

Computationally inexpensive algorithm for detecting of dispersed transients has been developed using Cumulative Sums (CUSUM) scheme for detecting abrupt changes in statistical characteristics of the signal. The efficiency of the algorithm…

In (Hansen et al. 2002) we presented a new approach for measuring non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy pattern, based on the multivariate empirical distribution function of the spherical harmonics a_lm of a…

In this paper, we propose an new the CUSUM sequential test (control chart, stopping time) with the observation-adjusted control limits (CUSUM-OAL) for monitoring quickly and adaptively the change in distribution of a sequential…

In this paper we aim to assess linear relationships between the non constant variances of economic variables. The proposed methodology is based on a bootstrap cumulative sum (CUSUM) test. Simulations suggest a good behavior of the test for…

Recent methods for estimating sparse undirected graphs for real-valued data in high dimensional problems rely heavily on the assumption of normality. We show how to use a semiparametric Gaussian copula--or "nonparanormal"--for high…

Universal compression algorithms have been studied in the past for sequential change detection, where they have been used to estimate the post-change distribution in the modified version of the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) Test. In this paper, we…

Angular anisotropy techniques for cosmic diffuse radiation maps are powerful probes, even for quite small data sets. A popular observable is the angular power spectrum; we present a detailed study applicable to any unbinned source skymap…

This article introduces a new instrumental variable approach for estimating unknown population parameters with data having nonrandom missing values. With coarse and discrete instruments, Shao and Wang (2016) proposed a semiparametric method…

Area preserving maps provide the simplest and most accurate means to visualize and quantify the behavior of nonlinear systems. Convenience of the mapping equations of motion for investigation of transition to chaotic behavior in dynamics of…

The unitary evolution maps in closed chaotic quantum graphs are known to have universal spectral correlations, as predicted by random matrix theory. In chaotic graphs with absorption the quantum maps become non-unitary. We show that their…

A generalized covariant method of analysis applicable to frames for which time is not orthogonal to space, such as spacetime around a star possessing angular momentum or on a rotating disk, is presented. Important aspects of such an…

This paper is concerned with small angular scale experiments for the observation of cosmic microwave background anisotropies. In the absence of beam, the effects of partial coverage and pixelisation are disentangled and analyzed (using…

It is well known that the conventional cumulative sum (CUSUM) test suffers from low power and large detection delay. In order to improve the power of the test, we propose two alternative statistics. The backward CUSUM detector considers the…

Cosmic shear data contains a large amount of cosmological information encapsulated in the non-Gaussian features of the weak lensing mass maps. This information can be extracted using non-Gaussian statistics. We compare the constraining…

This paper introduces a dependent toroidal distribution, to analyze astigmatism data following cataract surgery. Rather than utilizing the flat torus, we opt to represent the bivariate angular data on the surface of a curved torus, which…

We propose a set of new statistics which can be extracted out of the angular distribution of the Fourier transform of the temperature anisotropies in the small field limit. They quantify generic non-Gaussian structure and complement the…

Quality of Life (QOL) outcomes are important in the management of chronic illnesses. In studies of efficacies of treatments or intervention modalities, QOL scales multi-dimensional constructs are routinely used as primary endpoints. The…

Control charts, one of the main tools in Statistical Process Control (SPC), have been widely adopted in manufacturing sectors as an effective strategy for malfunction detection throughout the previous decades. Measurement errors (M.E's) are…
