Edgeworth expansion provides higher-order corrections to the normal approximation for a probability distribution. The classical proof of Edgeworth expansion is via characteristic functions. As a powerful method for distributional…

An Edgeworth-type expansion is established for the relative Fisher information distance to the class of normal distributions of sums of i.i.d. random variables, satisfying moment conditions. The validity of the central limit theorem is…

We study the distribution of a general class of asymptoticallylinear statistics which are symmetric functions of $N$ independent observations. The distribution functions of these statistics are approximated by an Edgeworth expansion with a…

A large class of statistics can be formulated as smooth functions of sample means of random vectors. In this paper, we propose a general partial Cram\'{e}r's condition (GPCC) and apply it to establish the validity of the Edgeworth expansion…

In this paper, we derive a valid Edgeworth expansions for the Bessel corrected empirical variance when data are generated by a strongly mixing process whose distribution can be arbitrarily. The constraint of strongly mixing process makes…

This paper applies a regularization procedure called increasing rearrangement to monotonize Edgeworth and Cornish-Fisher expansions and any other related approximations of distribution and quantile functions of sample statistics. Besides…

In this paper we present the Edgeworth expansion for the Euler approximation scheme of a continuous diffusion process driven by a Brownian motion. Our methodology is based upon a recent work \cite{Yoshida2013}, which establishes Edgeworth…

We derive Edgeworth expansions that describe corrections to the Gaussian limiting behaviour of slow-fast systems. The Edgeworth expansion is achieved using a semi-group formalism for the transfer operator, where a Duhamel-Dyson series is…

We consider triangular arrays of Markov chains that converge weakly to a diffusion process. Edgeworth type expansions of third order for transition densities are proved. This is done for time horizons that converge to 0. For this purpose we…

In this paper we discuss a closed-form approximation of the likelihood functions of an arbitrary diffusion process. The approximation is based on an exponential ansatz of the transition probability for a finite time step $\Delta t$, and a…

We introduce generalized notions of a divergence function and a Fisher information matrix. We propose to generalize the notion of an exponential family of models by reformulating it in terms of the Fisher information matrix. Our methods are…

In this paper, we consider the one-term Edgeworth expansion for finite population L-statistics. We provide an explicit formula for the Edgeworth correction term and give sufficient conditions for the validity of the expansion which are…

In this article we generalize the classical Edgeworth expansion for the probability density function (PDF) of sums of a finite number of symmetric independent identically distributed random variables with a finite variance to sums of…

We consider the problem of parameter estimation for an ergodic diffusion with Fisher-Snedecor invariant distribution, to be called Fisher-Snedecor diffusion. We compute the spectral representation of its transition density, which involves a…

Fisher's exact test is often a preferred method to estimate the significance of statistical dependence. However, in large data sets the test is usually too worksome to be applied, especially in an exhaustive search (data mining). The…

We establish the validity of the empirical Edgeworth expansion (EE) for a studentized trimmed mean, under the sole condition that the underlying distribution function of the observations satisfies a local smoothness condition near the two…

A finite-support constraint on the parameter space is used to derive a lower bound on the error of an estimator of the correlation coefficient in the bivariate exponential distribution. The bound is then exploited to examine optimality of…

In this paper, we study the Edgeworth expansion for a pre-averaging estimator of quadratic variation in the framework of continuous diffusion models observed with noise. More specifically, we obtain a second order expansion for the joint…

We generalize the maximum likelihood method to non-Gaussian distribution functions by means of the multivariate Edgeworth expansion. We stress the potential interest of this technique in all those cosmological problems in which the…

Given n observations, we study the consistency of a batch of k new observations, in terms of their distribution function. We propose a non-parametric, non-likelihood test based on Edgeworth expansion of the distribution function. The…
