State-of-the-Art Statistical Approaches for Estimating Flood Events
Reliable quantile estimates of annual peak flow discharges (APFDs) are needed for the design and operation of major hydraulic infrastructures and for more general flood risk management and planning.

Stationarity in the Prices of Energy Commodities. A Nonparametric Approach
In this paper, we address the classical problem of testing for stationarity in the prices of energy-related commodities. A panel of fourteen time series of monthly prices is analyzed for the 1980–2020 period. Nine of the series are classical nonrenewable,

Nonparametric Stochastic Volatility [PDF]
We provide nonparametric methods for stochastic volatility modeling. Our methods allow for the joint evaluation of return and volatility dynamics with nonlinear drift and diffusion functions, nonlinear leverage effects, and jumps in returns and volatility with possibly state-dependent jump intensities, among other features.

There is a long-standing debate in the statistical, epidemiological, and econometric fields as to whether nonparametric estimation that uses machine learning in model fitting confers any meaningful advantage over simpler, parametric approaches in finite ...

NONPARAMETRIC SIGNIFICANCE TESTING [PDF]
A procedure for testing the significance of a subset of explanatory variables in a nonparametric regression is proposed. Our test statistic uses the kernel method. Under the null hypothesis of no effect of the variables under test, we show that our test statistic has an nhp2/2 standard normal limiting distribution, where p2 is the dimension of ...

Learning and Applying a Function Over Distributions
We present a method for learning a function over distributions. The method is based on generalizing nonparametric kernel regression by using the earth mover's distance as a metric for distribution space.

In psychological research, comparisons between two groups are frequently made to demonstrate that one group exhibits higher values. Although Welch’s unequal variances t-test has become the preferred parametric test for this purpose, surpassing Student’s ...
