On partially Schur-constant models and their associated copulas

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2021
Schur-constant vectors are used to model duration phenomena in various areas of economics and statistics. They form a particular class of exchangeable vectors and, as such, rely on a strong property of symmetry.

A study of minimax shrinkage estimators dominating the James-Stein estimator under the balanced loss function

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2022
One of the most common challenges in multivariate statistical analysis is estimating the mean parameters. A well-known approach of estimating the mean parameters is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE).

Evaluating early pandemic response through length-of-stay analysis of case logs and epidemiological modeling: A case study of Singapore in early 2020

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2023
It is now known that early government interventions in pandemic management helps in slowing down the pandemic in the initial phase, during which a conservative basic reproduction number can be maintained.

A new extension of the two-parameter bathtub hazard shaped distribution

open access: yesScientific African, 2022
The need of new life time distributions that can be used to fit real data sets is crucial in lifetime data analysis. This article uses the two parameter bathtub (TPBT) and the generalized exponential (GE) distributions to propose a new family of lifetime

A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality beyond the MTP2 case

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2022
A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector X=(X1,…,Xd){\boldsymbol{X}}=\left({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{d}) of arbitrary length can be written as a ...

On shrinkage estimators improving the positive part of James-Stein estimator

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2021
In this work, we study the estimation of the multivariate normal mean by different classes of shrinkage estimators. The risk associated with the quadratic loss function is used to compare two estimators. We start by considering a class of estimators that

Lorenz-generated bivariate Archimedean copulas

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2020
A novel generating mechanism for non-strict bivariate Archimedean copulas via the Lorenz curve of a non-negative random variable is proposed. Lorenz curves have been extensively studied in economics and statistics to characterize wealth inequality and ...

A note on a Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur type theorem for time series [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this note we develop an extension of the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur theorem to time series model with temporal correlations. The limiting spectral distribution (LSD) of the sample covariance matrix is characterised by an explicit equation for its Stieltjes ...

Gaussian approximation of Gaussian scale mixture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
For a given positive random variable $V>0$ and a given $Z\sim N(0,1)$ independent of $V$, we compute the scalar $t_0$ such that the distance between $Z\sqrt{V}$ and $Z\sqrt{t_0}$ in the $L^2(\R)$ sense, is minimal.
