Let $\{X_{n}, n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables with common general error distribution $GED(v)$ with shape parameter $v>0$, and let $M_{n,r}$ denote the $r$th largest order statistics of $X_{1}, X_{2}, \cdots, X_{n}$.…

We consider distributed optimization problems where forming the Hessian is computationally challenging and communication is a significant bottleneck. We develop unbiased parameter averaging methods for randomized second order optimization…

A common approach to statistical learning with big-data is to randomly split it among $m$ machines and learn the parameter of interest by averaging the $m$ individual estimates. In this paper, focusing on empirical risk minimization, or…

A defining feature of non-stationary systems is the time dependence of their statistical parameters. Measured time series may exhibit Gaussian statistics on short time horizons, due to the central limit theorem. The sample statistics for…

In engineering systems, it is usually assumed that lifetimes of components are independent and identically distributed (iid). But, the failure of a component results in a higher load on the remaining components and hence causes the…

This work considers the problem of learning the Markov parameters of a linear system from observed data. Recent non-asymptotic system identification results have characterized the sample complexity of this problem in the single and…

Let $X_1, \ldots , X_n$ be mutually independent exponential random variables with distinct hazard rates $\lambda_1, \ldots , \lambda_n > 0$ and let $Y_1, \ldots, Y_n$ be a random sample from the exponential distribution with hazard rate…

Machine learning systems are often applied to data that is drawn from a different distribution than the training distribution. Recent work has shown that for a variety of classification and signal reconstruction problems, the…

An approach to analyse the properties of a particle system is to compare it with different processes to understand when one of them is larger than other ones. The main technique for that is coupling, which may not be easy to construct. We…

Critical parts of the definitions of standard serial and standard parallel modes refer to stochastic independence. Standard serial models are defined by stochastic independence and identical distributions of their processing times.…

The limiting probability distribution is one of the key characteristics of a Markov chain since it shows its long-term behavior. In this paper, for a higher order Markov chain, we establish some properties related to its exact limiting…

We propose some new results on the comparison of the minimum or maximum order statistic from a random number of non-identical random variables. Under the non-identical set-up, with certain conditions, we prove that random minimum (maximum)…

We study the assignment problem of objects to agents with heterogeneous preferences under distributional constraints. Each agent is associated with a publicly known type and has a private ordinal ranking over objects. We are interested in…

In this work, we consider two sets of dependent variables $\{X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}\}$ and $\{Y_{1},\ldots,Y_{n}\}$, where $X_{i}\sim EW(\alpha_{i},\lambda_{i},k_{i})$ and $Y_{i}\sim EW(\beta_{i},\mu_{i},l_{i})$, for $i=1,\ldots, n$, which are…

We construct a new family of chance constrained directional models in stochastic data envelopment analysis, generalizing the deterministic directional models and the chance constrained radial models. We prove that chance constrained…

This paper is the second in a series of two, and describes the current state of the art in modelling and prediction of chaotic time series. Sampled data from deterministic non-linear systems may look stochastic when analysed with linear…

A criterion on the asymptotic stability of fractional-order systems with incomensurate orders is proposed in this paper. Existing methods always assume order parameters be rational numbers or the ratios of any two orders be rational…

Stochastic orders are very useful tool to compare the lifetimes of two coherent systems. We show that, under certain conditions, a coherent system of used components performs better (worse) than a used coherent system with respect to…

We introduce the beta generalized normal distribution which is obtained by compounding the beta and generalized normal [Nadarajah, S., A generalized normal distribution, \emph{Journal of Applied Statistics}. 32, 685--694, 2005]…

It is shown that a seemingly harmless reordering of the steps in a block Gibbs sampler can actually invalidate the algorithm. In particular, the Markov chain that is simulated by the "out-of-order" block Gibbs sampler does not have the…
