In competing event settings, a counterfactual contrast of cause-specific cumulative incidences quantifies the total causal effect of a treatment on the event of interest. However, effects of treatment on the competing event may indirectly contribute to thi ...
We develop a canonical framework for the study of the problem of registration of multiple point processes subjected to warping, known as the problem of separation of amplitude and phase variation. The amplitude variation of a real random function {Y(x) : x ...
We study the problem of drift estimation for two-scale continuous time series. We set ourselves in the framework of overdamped Langevin equations, for which a single-scale surrogate homogenized equation exists. In this setting, estimating the drift coeffic ...
xtreme value analysis is concerned with the modelling of extreme events such as floods and heatwaves, which can have large impacts. Statistical modelling can be useful to better assess risks even if, due to scarcity of measurements, there is inherently ver ...
We propose an estimator for the mean of a random vector in Rd that can be computed in time O(n3.5 + n2d) for n i.i.d. samples and that has error bounds matching the sub-Gaussian case. The only assumptions we make about the data distribution are that it has ...
We consider inference on a vector-valued parameter of interest in a linear exponential family, in the presence of a finite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Based on higher-order asymptotic theory for likelihood, we propose a directional test whose p-value i ...
The proliferation of (low-cost) sensors provokes new challenges in data fusion. This is related to the correctness of stochastic characterization that is a prerequisite for optimal estimation of parameters from redundant observations. Different (statistica ...
Every day tons of pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere all around the world. These pollutants are altering the equilibrium of our planet, causing profound changes in its climate, increasing global temperatures, and raising the sea level. The need to ...
Solving a linear inverse problem may include difficulties such as the presence of outliers and a mixing matrix with a large condition number. In such cases a regularized robust estimator is needed. We propose a new tau-type regularized robust estimator tha ...
The spectral measure plays a key role in the statistical modeling of multivariate extremes. Estimation of the spectral measure is a complex issue, given the need to obey a certain moment condition. We propose a Euclidean likelihood-based estimator for the ...
