The emerging of big and heterogeneous data calls for the development of new extreme value theory and methods. For studying high-dimensional extremes and extreme clusters in time series, an important problem is how to measure and test for tail dependence between random variables. Section 3.1 of Dr. Zhang’s paper discusses some newly proposed tail dependence measures. In the era of big data, a timely and challenging question is how to study data from heterogeneous populations, e.g. from different sources. Section 3.2 reviews some new developments of extreme value theory for maxima of maxima. The theory and methods in Sections 3.1 and 2.3 set the foundations for modelling extremes of multivariate and heterogeneous data, and we believe they have wide applicability. We will discuss two possible directions: (1) measuring and testing of partial tail dependence; (2) application of the extreme value theory for maxima of maxima in highdimensional inference.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"5 1","pages":"26 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24754269.2021.1895528","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43522771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models naturally form a new system with similar structures. They can be used as alternatives to the widely used ARMA models and GARCH models. Applications of these time series models can be in many fields.

This work establishes probability foundations for studying extreme values of data generated from a mixture process with the mixture pattern depending on the sample length and data generating sources. In particular, we show that the limit distribution, termed as the accelerated max-stable distribution, of the maxima of maxima of sequences of random variables with the above mixture pattern is a product of three types of extreme value distributions. As a result, our theoretical results are more general than the classical extreme value theory and can be applicable to research problems related to Big Data. Examples are provided to give intuitions of the new distribution family. We also establish mixing conditions for a sequence of random variables to have the limit distributions. The results for the associated independent sequence and the maxima over arbitrary intervals are also developed. We use simulations to demonstrate the advantages of our newly established maxima of maxima extreme value theory.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"5 1","pages":"232 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24754269.2020.1846115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47671905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, based on GD, Polyak's momentum (PM), and Nesterov accelerated gradient (NAG), we give the convergence of the algorithms from an initial value to the optimal value of an objective function in simple quadratic form. Based on the convergence property of the quadratic function, two sister sequences of NAG's iteration and parallel tangent methods in neural networks, the three-step accelerated gradient (TAG) algorithm is proposed, which has three sequences other than two sister sequences. To illustrate the performance of this algorithm, we compare the proposed algorithm with the three other algorithms in quadratic function, high-dimensional quadratic functions, and nonquadratic function. Then we consider to combine the TAG algorithm to the backpropagation algorithm and the stochastic gradient descent algorithm in deep learning. For conveniently facilitate the proposed algorithms, we rewite the R package ‘neuralnet’ and extend it to ‘supneuralnet’. All kinds of deep learning algorithms in this paper are included in ‘supneuralnet’ package.

A completely randomised design is usually used to randomly assign treatment levels to experimental units. When covariates of the experimental units are available, the experimental design should achieve covariate balancing among the treatment groups, such that the statistical inference of the treatment effects is not confounded with any possible effects of covariates. However, covariate imbalance often exists, because the experiment is carried out based on a single realisation of the complete randomisation. It is more likely to occur and worsen when the size of the experimental units is small or moderate. In this paper, we introduce a new covariate balancing criterion, which measures the differences between kernel density estimates of the covariates of treatment groups. To achieve covariate balance before the treatments are randomly assigned, we partition the experimental units by minimising the criterion, then randomly assign the treatment levels to the partitioned groups. Through numerical examples, we show that the proposed partition approach can improve the accuracy of the difference-in-mean estimator and outperforms the complete randomisation and rerandomisation approaches.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"5 1","pages":"102 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24754269.2021.1878742","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41800210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-parameter logistic model is often used because of its nice mathematical properties and plausible stochastic response mechanisms. There is an extensive literature on its optimal designs and data analysis strategies. However, a model is at best a good approximation in a real-world application, and researchers must be aware of the risk of model mis-specification. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of the sequential ED-design, the D-optimal design, and the up-and-down design under the three-parameter logistic regression model, and we develop a numerical method for the parameter estimation. Simulations show that the combination of the proposed model and the data analysis strategy performs well. When the logistic model is correct, this more complex model has hardly any efficiency loss. The three-parameter logistic model works better than the two-parameter logistic model in the presence of model mis-specification.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"5 1","pages":"265 - 274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24754269.2020.1796098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46183255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
