Robust Regression with Asymmetric Heavy-Tail Noise Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2002
In the presence of a heavy-tail noise distribution, regression becomes much more difficult. Traditional robust regression methods assume that the noise distribution is symmetric, and they downweight the influence of so-called outliers. When the noise distribution is asymmetric, these methods yield biased regression estimators. Motivated by data-mining

The Random Effect Transformation for Three Regularity Classes

open access: yesMathematics
We continue the analysis of the influence of the random effect transformation on the regularity of distribution functions. The paper considers three regularity classes: heavy-tailed distributions, distributions with consistently varying tails, and ...

Assessment of temporal change in the tails of probability distribution of daily precipitation over India due to climatic shift in the 1970s

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2021
Daily precipitation extremes are crucial in the hydrological design of major water control structures and are expected to show a changing tendency over time due to climate change.

Truncated Moments for Heavy-Tailed and Related Distribution Classes

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Suppose that ξ+ is the positive part of a random variable defined on the probability space (Ω,F,P) with the distribution function Fξ. When the moment Eξ+p of order p>0 is finite, then the truncated moment F¯ξ,p(x)=min1,Eξp1I{ξ>x}, defined for all x⩾0, is

A Parametric Bootstrap for Heavy Tailed Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
It is known that Efron’s bootstrap of the mean of a distribution in the domain of attraction of the stable laws with infinite variance is not consistent, in the sense that the limiting distribution of the bootstrap mean is not the same as the limiting distribution of the mean from the real sample. Moreover, the limiting bootstrap distribution is random

Evaluating South Africa’s market risk using asymmetric power auto-regressive conditional heteroscedastic model under heavy-tailed distributions

open access: yesJournal of Economic and Financial Sciences, 2019
Orientation: Value-at-risk (VAR) and other risk management tools, such as expected shortfall (conditional VAR), are heavily reliant on a suitable set of underlying distributional conjecture.

Student’s t-Based Robust Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture Filter under Heavy-Tailed Process and Measurement Noises

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
A novel Student’s t-based robust Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter is proposed to effectively perform multi-target tracking under heavy-tailed process and measurement noises.

Sample Covariance Matrices of Heavy-Tailed Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Mathematics Research Notices, 2017
Let $p>2$, $B\geq 1$, $N\geq n$ and let $X$ be a centered $n$-dimensional random vector with the identity covariance matrix such that $\sup\limits_{a\in S^{n-1}}{\mathrm E}|\langle X,a\rangle|^p\leq B$. Further, let $X_1,X_2,\dots,X_N$ be independent copies of $X$, and $ _N:=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N X_i {X_i}^T$ be the sample covariance matrix.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
