The shape of incomplete preferences

open access: yes, 2006
Incomplete preferences provide the epistemic foundation for models of imprecise subjective probabilities and utilities that are used in robust Bayesian analysis and in theories of bounded rationality.

Sparse logistic principal components analysis for binary data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We develop a new principal components analysis (PCA) type dimension reduction method for binary data. Different from the standard PCA which is defined on the observed data, the proposed PCA is defined on the logit transform of the success probabilities ...

Approximation of conditional densities by smooth mixtures of regressions

open access: yes, 2010
This paper shows that large nonparametric classes of conditional multivariate densities can be approximated in the Kullback--Leibler distance by different specifications of finite mixtures of normal regressions in which normal means and variances and ...

The quenched invariance principle for random walks in random environments admitting a bounded cycle representation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We derive a quenched invariance principle for random walks in random environments whose transition probabilities are defined in terms of weighted cycles of bounded length.

On the Future of Data Analysis

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2016
This contribution is based on a discussion on the future of data analysis which took place on the last day of the symposium IDA 2000. By different discussants the main problems of current data analysis as well as future developments were discussed ...

High-frequency asymptotics for Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion sets on the sphere

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we shall be concerned with geometric functionals and excursion probabilities for some nonlinear transforms evaluated on Fourier components of spherical random fields.

The Beta-Hyperbolic Secant Distribution

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2016
The shape of a probability distribution is often summarized by the distribution’s skewness and kurtosis. Starting from a symmetric “parent” density f on the real line, we can modify its shape (i.e.

Limit laws of estimators for critical multi-type Galton-Watson processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We consider the asymptotics of various estimators based on a large sample of branching trees from a critical multi-type Galton-Watson process, as the sample size increases to infinity.

Some Properties of a Recently Introduced Approach to Ordinal Regression

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2016
The statistical properties of a novel approach to ordinal regression which was only recently introduced in the literature are discussed. It is shown that for ordinal explanatory variables the approach is equivalent to isotonic regression, with some ...
