Distributed estimation with empirical likelihood

Canadian Journal of Statistics, 2022
AbstractWith the development of science and technology, massive datasets stored in multiple machines are increasingly prevalent. It is known that traditional statistical methods may be infeasible for analyzing large datasets owing to excessive computing time, memory limitations, communication costs, and privacy concerns.

Shapes as empirical distributions

2009 16th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), 2009
We address the problem of shape based classification. We interpret the shape of an object as a probability distribution governing the location of the points of the object. An image of the object, represented as an arbitrary set of unlabeled points, corresponds to a random drawing from the shape probability distribution and can thus be analyzed as an ...

Generalized Empirical Distribution Function

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
One way to produce Value at Risk (VAR) for financial institution is to apply previously observed movements of the market underlying parameters (interest rates, for example) to their current values in order to obtain starting point of the analysis. This way multiple starting points can be created.

Probabilistic Design Using Empirical Distributions

44th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 2003
In this paper, a new algorithm for probabilistic design based on empirical distributions is proposed. The proposed algorithm can model a diverse spectrum of observed probabilistic phenomena and is computationally more efficient than several approaches currently in use.

Empirical Distribution Functions

2017
In this chapter we are interested in functional limit theorems for the empirical distribution function associated to a stationary and strongly mixing sequence of random variables with values in \(\mathrm{I\!R}^d\).

Distributed Empire

Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East
Abstract Beginning with a material and conceptual entry from the global South, this article theorizes drone warfare as an instance of what the author terms distributed empire. The US imperial formation has generally been reticent to establish formal colonies even as it projects power. This political logic has found sociotechnical form in

Empirical Fitting of Discrete Distributions

Biometrics, 1994
SUMMARY Short-tailed observed frequency distributions are often well fitted by a number of different theoretical discrete distributions, with little discriminatory power. An example is used to suggest how this may be carried further in some situations.

Empirical Distributions (No. 15)

1992
1. This paper is the one in which Kolmogorov’s classical statistic is introduced and in which its limit distribution, the Kolmogorov distribution, is established.

Empirics for growth and distribution [PDF]

, 1997
This paper studies cross-country patterns of economic growth from the viewpoint of income distribution dynamics. Such a perspective raises new empirical and theoretical issues in growth analysis: the profound empirical regularity is an \emerging twin peaks" in the cross-sectional distribution, not simple patterns of convergence or divergence. The theo-

19 Empirical distribution function

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the empirical distribution function. A statistical estimation of F(x) based on a random sample (X 1 . . . X n ,) is the so-called empirical or sample distribution function. F(x) is considered also a (random) function of x . To apply statistical methods based on empirical distribution, such as goodness of
