In this paper, we study the properties of the weighted entropy generating function (WEGF). We also introduce the weighted residual entropy generating function (WREGF) and establish some characterization results based on its connections with…
The problem of accurate nonparametric estimation of distributional functionals (integral functionals of one or more probability distributions) has received recent interest due to their wide applicability in signal processing, information…
This paper considers the problem of adaptive estimation of a non-homogeneous intensity function from the observation of n independent Poisson processes having a common intensity that is randomly shifted for each observed trajectory. We show…
We study a non-parametric approach to multivariate density estimation. The estimators are piecewise constant density functions supported by binary partitions. The partition of the sample space is learned by maximizing the likelihood of the…
Recent work has focused on the problem of nonparametric estimation of information divergence functionals. Many existing approaches are restrictive in their assumptions on the density support set or require difficult calculations at the…
Regression models that ignore measurement error in predictors may produce highly biased estimates leading to erroneous inferences. It is well known that it is extremely difficult to take measurement error into account in Gaussian…
One key issue in several astrophysical problems is the evaluation of the density probability function underlying an observational discrete data set. We here review two non-parametric density estimators which recently appeared in the…
arXiv:2206.10812v1 [stat.ME] proposes a useful algorithm, named generalized Diversity Subsampling (g-DS) algorithm, to select a subsample following some target probability distribution from a finite data set and demonstrates its…
We consider deconvolution from repeated observations with unknown error distribution. So far, this model has mostly been studied under the additional assumption that the errors are symmetric. We construct an estimator for the non-symmetric…
How to deal with missing data in observational studies is a common concern for causal inference. When the covariates are missing at random (MAR), multiple approaches have been provided to help solve the issue. However, if the exposure is…
Data on a continuous variable are often summarized by means of histograms or displayed in tabular format: the range of data is partitioned into consecutive interval classes and the number of observations falling within each class is…
Considering a wireless sensor network whose nodes are distributed randomly over a given area, a probability model for the network lifetime is provided. Using this model and assuming that packet generation follows a Poisson distribution, an…
We consider a space structured population model generated by two point clouds: a homogeneous Poisson process $M$ with intensity $n\to\infty$ as a model for a parent generation together with a Cox point process $N$ as offspring generation,…
Let $\textbf{X} = (X_1,\ldots, X_p)$ be a stochastic vector having joint density function $f_{\textbf{X}}(x)$ with partitions $\textbf{X}_1 = (X_1,\ldots, X_k)$ and $\textbf{X}_2 = (X_{k+1},\ldots, X_p)$. A new method for estimating the…
We consider the problem of estimating a function $s$ on $[-1,1]^{k}$ for large values of $k$ by looking for some best approximation by composite functions of the form $g\circ u$. Our solution is based on model selection and leads to a very…
We consider the problem of estimating convex boundaries from blurred and noisy observations. In our model, the convolution of an intensity function $f$ is observed with additive Gaussian white noise. The function $f$ is assumed to have…
This paper considers the problem of estimating probabilities of the form $\mathbb{P}(Y \leq w)$, for a given value of $w$, in the situation that a sample of i.i.d.\ observations $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ of $X$ is available, and where we…
We consider the regression model with errors-in-variables where we observe $n$ i.i.d. copies of $(Y,Z)$ satisfying $Y=f(X)+\xi, Z=X+\sigma\epsilon$, involving independent and unobserved random variables $X,\xi,\epsilon$. The density $g$ of…
Consider an autoregressive model with measurement error: we observe $Z_i=X_i+\epsilon_i$, where $X_i$ is a stationary solution of the equation $X_i=f_{\theta^0}(X_{i-1})+\xi_i$. The regression function $f_{\theta^0}$ is known up to a finite…
We propose a general approach to construct weighted likelihood estimating equations with the aim of obtaining robust parameter estimates. We modify the standard likelihood equations by incorporating a weight that reflects the statistical…
