A law of the iterated logarithm for Grenander's estimator. [PDF]

open access: yesStoch Process Their Appl, 2016
In this note we prove the following law of the iterated logarithm for the Grenander estimator of a monotone decreasing density: If $f(t_0) > 0$, $f'(t_0) < 0$, and $f'$ is continuous in a neighborhood of $t_0$, then \begin{eqnarray*} \limsup_{n ...

On certain transformations of Archimedean copulas: Application to the non-parametric estimation of their generators

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2013
We study the impact of certain transformations within the class of Archimedean copulas. We give some admissibility conditions for these transformations, and define some equivalence classes for both transformations and generators of Archimedean copulas ...

A survey of limit laws for bootstrapped sums

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 45, Page 2835-2861, 2003., 2003
Concentrating mainly on independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) real‐valued parent sequences, we give an overview of first‐order limit theorems available for bootstrapped sample sums for Efron′s bootstrap. As a light unifying theme, we expose by elementary means the relationship between corresponding conditional and unconditional bootstrap ...

Smooth backfitting in additive inverse regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We consider the problem of estimating an additive regression function in an inverse regres- sion model with a convolution type operator. A smooth backfitting procedure is developed and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimator is established ...

Empirical likelihood for quantile regression models with response data missing at random

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2017
This paper studies quantile linear regression models with response data missing at random. A quantile empirical-likelihood-based method is proposed firstly to study a quantile linear regression model with response data missing at random.

Quadratic functional estimation in inverse problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We consider in this paper a Gaussian sequence model of observations $Y_i$, $i\geq 1$ having mean (or signal) $\theta_i$ and variance $\sigma_i$ which is growing polynomially like $i^\gamma$, $\gamma >0$.

Nonparametric Bayesian inference for multidimensional compound Poisson processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Given a sample from a discretely observed multidimensional compound Poisson process, we study the problem of nonparametric estimation of its jump size density $r_0$ and intensity $\lambda_0$.

On the asymptotic covariance of the multivariate empirical copula process

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2019
Genest and Segers (2010) gave conditions under which the empirical copula process associated with a random sample from a bivariate continuous distribution has a smaller asymptotic covariance than the standard empirical process based on a random sample ...

Variable importance for causal forests: breaking down the heterogeneity of treatment effects

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference
Causal random forests provide efficient estimates of heterogeneous treatment effects. However, forest algorithms are also well-known for their black-box nature, and therefore, do not characterize how input variables are involved in treatment effect ...
