The law of the iterated logarithm for LNQD sequences

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
Let { ξ i , i ∈ Z } $\{\xi_{i},i\in{\mathbb{Z}}\}$ be a stationary LNQD sequence of random variables with zero means and finite variance. In this paper, by the Kolmogorov type maximal inequality and Stein’s method, we establish the result of the law of ...

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

A local limit theorem assuming finite second moments via Stein’s method

open access: yesArab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences
Let [Formula: see text] be independent but not necessarily identically distributed integer-valued random variables and let [Formula: see text] Estimation of the point probabilities [Formula: see text] is a common problem that occurs in many applied ...

On the Accuracy of the Exponential Approximation to Random Sums of Alternating Random Variables

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Using the generalized stationary renewal distribution (also called the equilibrium transform) for arbitrary distributions with a finite non-zero first moment, we prove moment-type error-bounds in the Kantorovich distance for the exponential approximation

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Multiple Parameters Determination for Image and Video Reconstruction Using Genetic Algorithm and Generalized Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
This paper proposes a heuristic multi-parameter optimization method for image and video reconstruction. The method is embedded in an evolutionary computation framework in which a set of parameters are encoded into chromosomes of an individual, and a ...

A Generalized Equilibrium Transform with Application to Error Bounds in the Rényi Theorem with No Support Constraints

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
We introduce a generalized stationary renewal distribution (also called the equilibrium transform) for arbitrary distributions with finite nonzero first moment and study its properties.

Stein's method and Poisson process approximation for a class of Wasserstein metrics

open access: yes, 2009
Based on Stein's method, we derive upper bounds for Poisson process approximation in the $L_1$-Wasserstein metric $d_2^{(p)}$, which is based on a slightly adapted $L_p$-Wasserstein metric between point measures.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.
