The method of quasi-optimal weights provides a comprehensive, asymptotically optimal, transparent and flexible alternative to the least squares method. The optimality holds for a general non-linear, non-gaussian case.
We analyze inexact fixed point iterations where the generating function contains an inexact solve of an equation system to answer the question of how tolerances for the inner solves influence the iteration error of the outer fixed point…
We show that exact results are obtained for the calculation of Casimir forces between arbitrary materials using the concept of surface impedances, obtaining in a trivial way the force in the limit of perfect conductors and also Lifshitz…
In this work we provide an Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type estimate for a certain class of fully nonlinear elliptic integro-differential equations, the proof of which relies on an appropriate generalization of the convex envelope to a…
This paper revisits the parametric analysis of semidefinite optimization problems with respect to the perturbation of the objective function along a fixed direction. We review the notions of invariancy set, nonlinearity interval, and…
Tests are essential in Information Retrieval (IR), in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a query. Tests intended to exhibit the sense of words in con-text were undertaken and linked with Quantum Mechanics (QM). Poll tests were…
We present a self-contained analysis of a particular family of metrics over the set of non-negative integers. We show that these metrics, which are defined through a nested sequence of optimal transport problems, provide tight estimates for…
In an instrumental variable model, the score statistic can be bounded for any alternative in parts of the parameter space. These regions involve a constraint on the first-stage regression coefficients and the reduced-form covariance matrix.…
We propose an iterative estimating equations procedure for analysis of longitudinal data. We show that, under very mild conditions, the probability that the procedure converges at an exponential rate tends to one as the sample size…
In this paper, we construct a consistent non-parametric test for testing the equality of population medians for different samples when the observations in each sample are independent and identically distributed. This test can be further…
We consider estimation and inference in a linear model with endogenous regressors where the parameters of interest change across two samples. If the first-stage is common, we show how to use this information to obtain more efficient…
Recently, weighted cumulative residual Tsallis entropy has been introduced in the literature as a generalization of weighted cumulative residual entropy. We study some new properties of weighted cumulative residual Tsallis entropy measure.…
Classical tests are available for the two-sample test of correspondence of distribution functions. From these, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test provides also the graphical interpretation of the test results, in different forms. Here, we propose…
We obtain an asymptotically sharp error bound in the classical Sudakov-Fernique comparison inequality for finite collections of gaussian random variables. Our proof is short and self-contained, and gives an easy alternative argument for the…
Let p_n denote the persistence probability that the first n iterated partial sums of integrable, zero-mean, i.i.d. random variables X_k, are negative. We show that p_n is bounded above up to universal constant by the square root of the…
We establish the uniform in time stability, w.r.t. the marginals, of the Iterative Proportional Fitting Procedure, also known as Sinkhorn algorithm, used to solve entropy-regularised Optimal Transport problems. Our result is quantitative…
The best constant and extremal functions are well known of the following Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^p\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{|x|^{\mu}}\geq \mathcal{S}…
An analysis of detector-efficiency in many-site Clauser-Horne inequalities is presented, for the case of perfect visibility. It is shown that there is a violation of the presented n-site Clauser-Horne inequalities if and only if the…
This paper considers hypothesis testing in semiparametric models which may be non-regular. I show that C($\alpha$) style tests are locally regular under mild conditions, including in cases where locally regular estimators do not exist, such…
We propose an alternative to the Turing test that removes the inherent asymmetry between humans and machines in Turing's original imitation game. In this new test, both humans and machines judge each other. We argue that this makes the test…
