Entropy-Type Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Heavy-Tailed Distributions
(Wiley Blackwell, 2013)The maximum entropy principle is a criterion for selecting a priori probabilities. Maximum entropy modeling has been successfully applied to computer vision, spatial physics, natural language processing and many other ...

Indirect questioning in sample surveys
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)Indirect questioning is a crucial topic in surveys of human populations. When the issue is about a stigmatizing characteristic (for example about illegal drug use), standard survey methodologies are destined to fail because, ...

Book Chapter
Locally Stationary Processes and the Local Block Bootstrap
(Elsevier Inc., 2003)This chapter describes locally stationary processes and the local block bootstrap. For time series that are not stationary, the block bootstrap is not directly applicable. It is found that because of the nonstationarity, ...

Book Chapter
A normalizing and variance-stabilizing transformation for financial time series
(Elsevier Inc., 2003)This chapter describes a normalizing and variance-stabilizing transformation for financial time series. The well-known ARCH/GARCH models with normal errors can account, only partly, for the degree of heavy tails empirically ...

Novas transformations: Flexible inference for volatility forecasting
(Springer New York, 2013)In this chapter we present several new findings on the NoVaS transformationapproach for volatility forecasting introduced by Politis (Model-Free VolatilityPrediction, UCSD Department of Economics Discussion Paper 2003–16

Numerical conformal mapping: Domain decomposition and the mapping of quadrilaterals
(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2010)This is a unique monograph on numerical conformal mapping that gives a comprehensive account of the theoretical, computational and application aspects of the problems of determining conformal modules of quadrilaterals and ...

On completely monotonic and related functions
(Springer New York, 2014)We deal with several classes of functions, such as, completely monotonic functions, absolutely monotonic functions, logarithmically completely monotonic functions, Stieltjes functions, and Bernstein functions. We give ...

Book Chapter
Penalized estimation for integer autoregressive models
(Physica-Verlag HD, 2010)The integer autoregressive model of order p can be employed for the analysis of discrete-valued time series data. It can be shown, under some conditions, that its correlation structure is identical to that of the usual ...

Posterior Contraction in Bayesian Inverse Problems Under Gaussian Priors
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)We study Bayesian inference in statistical linear inverse problems with Gaussian noise and priors in a separable Hilbert space setting. We focus our interest on the posterior contraction rate in the small noise limit, under ...

Book Chapter
Probabilistic information dissemination in vehicular ad hoc networks
(IGI Global, 2010)Many of the applications in VANETs, especially the safety related ones, set up requirements for information dissemination which are different from conventional networks and are thus difficult to fulfill with existing ...

Recent Advances and Trends in Nonparametric Statistics
(Elsevier B.V., 2003)The advent of high-speed, affordable computers in the last two decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric way of thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures, such as function smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract ...

Robust adaptive control. Design, analysis and robustness bounds
(Publ by Springer-Verlag Berlin, 1991)Despite the publication of numerous papers and several books dealing with the design, analysis and robustness properties of adaptive control, the theory of adaptive control may appear too technical and sometimes confussing ...
