Stable Central Limit Theorem in Total Variation Distance

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Probability
Under certain general conditions, we prove that the stable central limit theorem holds in the total variation distance and get its optimal convergence rate for all $α\in (0,2)$. Our method is by two measure decompositions, one step estimates, and a very delicate induction with respect to $α$. One measure decomposition is light tailed and borrowed from \

Pathogenic Germline PALB2 and RAD50 Variants in Patients With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Approximately 10% of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EwS) have pathogenic germline variants. Here, we report two cases: first, a novel germline pathogenic variant in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) in a patient with a late EwS relapse. Its impact on homologous recombination is demonstrated, and breast cancer risk is discussed.

Relative information spectra with applications to statistical inference

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
For any pair of probability measures defined on a common space, their relative information spectra——specifically, the distribution functions of the loglikelihood ratio under either probability measure——fully encapsulate all that is relevant for ...

Genetic Variation and Phylogeographic Analysis of Native Chicken Populations in Myanmar and Thailand

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2012
Native chickens in Myanmar and Thailand have been being domesticated for generations and yielded a wide variety of chickens. The objective of the research is to analyze the genetic variation and relationships of native chicken populations in Myanmar and

On the Stability Functional for Conservation Laws

open access: yes, 2007
This note is devoted to the explicit construction of a functional defined on all pairs of $\L1$ functions with small total variation, which is equivalent to the $\L1$ distance and non increasing along the trajectories of a given system of conservation ...

Total variation distance between stochastic polynomials and invariance principles [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Probability, 2019
The goal of this paper is to estimate the total variation distance between two general stochastic polynomials. As a consequence one obtains an invariance principle for such polynomials. This generalizes known results concerning the total variation distance between two multiple stochastic integrals on one hand, and invariance principles in Kolmogorov ...

Developmental Disorders in Children Recently Diagnosed With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurocognitive deficits in adult survivors of childhood cancer are well established, but less is known about developmental disorders (DD) arising shortly after cancer diagnosis. Using 2016–2019 linked Ohio cancer registry and Medicaid data, we compared DD among 324 children with cancer and 606,913 cancer‐free controls.

The total variation distance between high-dimensional Gaussians

open access: yes, 2020
We prove a lower bound and an upper bound for the total variation distance between two high-dimensional Gaussians, which are within a constant factor of one another.Comment: 12 ...

Quantitative bounds on convergence of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains

open access: yes, 2004
Convergence rates of Markov chains have been widely studied in recent years. In particular, quantitative bounds on convergence rates have been studied in various forms by Meyn and Tweedie [Ann. Appl. Probab. 4 (1994) 981-1101], Rosenthal [J.
