Minimax Structured Normal Means Inference

open access: yes, 2016
We provide a unified treatment of a broad class of noisy structure recovery problems, known as structured normal means problems. In this setting, the goal is to identify, from a finite collection of Gaussian distributions with different means, the ...

Univariate Mean Change Point Detection: Penalization, CUSUM and Optimality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The problem of univariate mean change point detection and localization based on a sequence of $n$ independent observations with piecewise constant means has been intensively studied for more than half century, and serves as a blueprint for change point ...

Minimax testing of a composite null hypothesis defined via a quadratic functional in the model of regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We consider the problem of testing a particular type of composite null hypothesis under a nonparametric multivariate regression model. For a given quadratic functional $Q$, the null hypothesis states that the regression function $f$ satisfies the ...

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...

Optimality Conditions and Numerical Algorithms for a Class of Linearly Constrained Minimax Optimization Problems

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization
It is well known that there have been many numerical algorithms for solving nonsmooth minimax problems, numerical algorithms for nonsmooth minimax problems with joint linear constraints are very rare. This paper aims to discuss optimality conditions and develop practical numerical algorithms for minimax problems with joint linear constraints.

Minimax signal detection in ill-posed inverse problems

open access: yes, 2012
Ill-posed inverse problems arise in various scientific fields. We consider the signal detection problem for mildly, severely and extremely ill-posed inverse problems with $l^q$-ellipsoids (bodies), $q\in(0,2]$, for Sobolev, analytic and generalized ...

Adaptive circular deconvolution by model selection under unknown error distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We consider a circular deconvolution problem, in which the density $f$ of a circular random variable $X$ must be estimated nonparametrically based on an i.i.d. sample from a noisy observation $Y$ of $X$.

Minimax Control of Constrained Parabolic Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
In this paper we formulate and study a minimax control problem for a class of parabolic systems with controlled Dirichlet boundary conditions and uncertain distributed perturbations under pointwise control and state constraints.

Erich Leo Lehmann---A glimpse into his life and work

open access: yes, 2011
Through the use of a system-building approach, an approach that includes finding common ground for the various philosophical paradigms within statistics, Erich L.

Computers and chess masters: The role of AI in transforming elite human performance

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in recent years, often supplementing rather than replacing human performance. The extent of their assistance at the highest levels of human performance remains unclear. We analyse over 11.6 million decisions of elite chess players, a domain commonly used as a testbed for AI
