Expansions for the Conditional Density and Distribution of a Standard Estimate
Conditioning is a very useful way of using correlated information to reduce the variability of an estimate. Conditioning an estimate on a correlated estimate, reduces its covariance, and so provides more precise inference than using an unconditioned ...

Abstract Understanding the basal conditions of East Antarctica's outlet glaciers is critical for accurately modeling future ice‐sheet evolution. Denman Glacier, one of the continent's fastest‐flowing glaciers, has been identified in bed‐topography models as occupying the deepest continental trough on Earth, potentially acting as a major outlet of the ...

An Analogue to the Edgeworth–Esseen Expansion
Let \(f\) be a bounded, measurable function on \([-\pi, \pi]\) and let \((a_{n\nu}: \nu=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\dots)\) be the Fourier coefficients of the powers \(f^n\) for \(n= 1,2,\dots\)\ .

On the Foundational Arguments of Sufficient Dimension Reduction
Contemporary Sufficient Dimension Reduction, a versatile method for extracting material information from data, can serve as a preprocessor for classical modeling and inference, or as a standalone theory that leads directly to statistical inference. ABSTRACT Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) refers to supervised methods of dimension reduction that ...

On Edgeworth Expansions in Generalized Urn Models [PDF]
The random vector of frequencies in a generalized urn model is viewed as conditionally independent random variables, given their sum. Such a representation is exploited to derive Edgeworth expansions for a sum of functions of such frequencies. Applying these results to urn models such as with- and without-replacement sampling schemes as well as the ...

ABSTRACT Cranial nerves represent a notoriously complex province of the neuroanatomical landscape of the vertebrates. Here, we offer a selection of the anatomic, genetic, and developmental features of their efferent component that are often misrepresented, ignored or controversial, as a complement to more exhaustive treatments of the subject.

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

Price Indices Rekindled, 1970s–1990s: Theory and Practice at Cross Purposes?
ABSTRACT This paper revisits the discussions on price indices during a period marked by theoretical advancements and practical challenges in measuring inflation. Index‐number theorists sought to improve accuracy, yet national statistical offices largely maintained established practices due to concerns over data availability, stability, and public trust.
