Invariant U-statistics

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 1986
For a class of distributions which are invariant under a group of transformations, we propose an estimator ot an estimable parameter. The estimator, which we call the invariant U-statistic, is the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of the corresponding estimable parameter for the class of all continuous distributions which are invariant ...

Estimate of variance of u-statistics [PDF]

open access: possibleCommunications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 1992
Let g(x1,… , xk) be a symmetric function with k arguments. Let U be a U-statistic based on a random sample of size n with kernel function g . In this paper, the problem of estimating var(U) is considered. Several estimators are compared by computer simulations and we conclude that two estimators, one is constructed as a U-statistic and the other is the

Empirical U-statistics processes

Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 1992
Abstract A sharp exponential probability bound is obtained on the local fluctuations of the multivariate empirical U-statistics process, which brings the theory of these processes in line with the classical theory of i.i.d. empirical processes. The results are applied to obtain certain weak and strong convergence properties of weighted multivariate ...

Introduction to U-statistics

2018
U statistics are a large and important class of statistics. Indeed, any U-statistic (with finite variance) is the non-parametric minimum variance estimator of its expectation \( \theta \). Many common statistics and estimators are either U-statistics or approximately so.

Limit Theorems for U-Statistics [PDF]

open access: possible, 1999
The decoupling results of Chapter 3 are very well suited for application in the asymptotic theory of U-statistics and U-processes, as we will see in this chapter and in the next. In this chapter we consider U-statistics. In general, we are interested in the “three gems” of classical probability theory, the law of large numbers, the central limit ...

U-Statistic Hierarchical Clustering [PDF]

open access: possiblePsychometrika, 1978
A monotone invariant method of hierarchical clustering based on the Mann-Whitney U-statistic is presented. The effectiveness of the complete-link, single-link, and U-statistic methods in recovering tree structures from error perturbed data are evaluated.

U-Statistics on the Spherical Poisson Space

2016
We review a recent stream of research on normal approximations for linear functionals and more general U-statistics of wavelets/needlets coefficients evaluated on a homogeneous spherical Poisson field. We show how, by exploiting results from Peccati and Zheng (Electron J Probab 15(48):1487–1527, 2010) based on Malliavin calculus and Stein’s method, it ...

Ukrainian Mathematical Journal, 1990
Asymptotics of distributions for bootstrapped U-statistis is considered. Conditions for convergence to the normal distribution are indicated.
