Estimating causal effects with the neural autoregressive density estimator
The estimation of causal effects is fundamental in situations where the underlying system will be subject to active interventions. Part of building a causal inference engine is defining how variables relate to each other, that is, defining the functional

A novel approach to compare the spectral densities of some uncorrelated cyclostationary time series
Our primary objective in this article is to compare the spectral densities of some cyclostationary time series. By using the limiting distributions of the discrete Fourier transform, a novel approach is introduced to determine whether the spectral ...

Local linear approach: Conditional density estimate for functional and censored data
Let YY be a random real response, which is subject to right censoring by another random variable CC. In this paper, we study the nonparametric local linear estimation of the conditional density of a scalar response variable and when the covariable takes ...

Detecting and modeling critical dependence structures between random inputs of computer models
Uncertain information on input parameters of computer models is usually modeled by considering these parameters as random, and described by marginal distributions and a dependence structure of these variables.

Bivariate box plots based on quantile regression curves
In this paper, we propose a procedure to build bivariate box plots (BBP). We first obtain the theoretical BBP for a random vector (X, Y). They are based on the univariate box plot of X and the conditional quantile curves of Y|X. They can be computed from

Density derivative estimation for stationary and strongly mixing data
Estimation of density derivatives has found multiple uses in statistical data analysis. An inefficient two-step method to obtain it is estimating the density and then computing the derivatives.
