Bounding the maximum likelihood degree [PDF]
Maximum likelihood estimation is a fundamental computational problem in statistics. In this note, we give a bound for the maximum likelihood degree of algebraic statistical models for discrete data.

Improved estimation in a non-Gaussian parametric regression [PDF]
The paper considers the problem of estimating the parameters in a continuous time regression model with a non-Gaussian noise of pulse type. The noise is specified by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process driven by the mixture of a Brownian motion and a compound

Generating VaR scenarios with product beta distributions [PDF]
We propose a Monte Carlo simulation method to generate stress tests by VaR scenarios under Solvency II for dependent risks on the basis of observed data.

On a class of norms generated by nonnegative integrable distributions
We show that any distribution function on ℝd with nonnegative, nonzero and integrable marginal distributions can be characterized by a norm on ℝd+1, called F-norm. We characterize the set of F-norms and prove that pointwise convergence of a sequence of F-

Checkerboard copula defined by sums of random variables
We consider the problem of finding checkerboard copulas for modeling multivariate distributions. A checkerboard copula is a distribution with a corresponding density defined almost everywhere by a step function on an m-uniform subdivision of the unit ...

Law of Log Determinant of Sample Covariance Matrix and Optimal Estimation of Differential Entropy for High-Dimensional Gaussian Distributions [PDF]
Differential entropy and log determinant of the covariance matrix of a multivariate Gaussian distribution have many applications in coding, communications, signal processing and statistical inference.

Sampling in the Analysis Transform Domain [PDF]
Many signal and image processing applications have benefited remarkably from the fact that the underlying signals reside in a low dimensional subspace. One of the main models for such a low dimensionality is the sparsity one.

Some remarks on a pair of seemingly unrelated regression models
Linear regression models are foundation of current statistical theory and have been a prominent object of study in statistical data analysis and inference.

New Algorithms for $M$-Estimation of Multivariate Scatter and Location [PDF]
We present new algorithms for $M$-estimators of multivariate scatter and location and for symmetrized $M$-estimators of multivariate scatter. The new algorithms are considerably faster than currently used fixed-point and related algorithms. The main idea
