The plot can be applied to both moment and centile skewness and kurtosis. The bucket plot is used to detect skewness and kurtosis either in a response variable, or in the residuals from a fitted model as a diagnostic tool by which to assess the adequacy of a fitted distribution to the response variable regarding skewness and kurtosis. We demonstrate the bucket plot in nine simulated skewness and kurtosis scenarios, and the usefulness of the plot is shown in a real-data situation.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47499946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model includes the $N$-urn Ehrenfest model and the $N$-urn branching random walk as special cases. We show that the scaling limit of the process is driven by a $C(mathbb{T})$-valued linear ordinary differential equation and the fluctuation of the process is driven by a generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in the dual of $C^infty(mathbb{T})$, where $mathbb{T}=(0, 1]$ is the one-dimensional torus. A crucial step for proofs of above main results is to show that numbers of particles in different urns are approximately independent. As applications of our main results, limit theorems of hitting times of the process are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46121517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferger","doi":"10.1214/23-bjps564","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1214/23-bjps564","url":null,"abstract":"The supremum of the standardized empirical process is a promising statistic for testing whether the distribution function $F$ of i.i.d. real random variables is either equal to a given distribution function $F_0$ (hypothesis) or $F ge F_0$ (one-sided alternative). Since cite{r5} it is well-known that an affine-linear transformation of the suprema converge in distribution to the Gumbel law as the sample size tends to infinity. This enables the construction of an asymptotic level-$alpha$ test. However, the rate of convergence is extremely slow. As a consequence the probability of the type I error is much larger than $alpha$ even for sample sizes beyond $10.000$. Now, the standardization consists of the weight-function $1/sqrt{F_0(x)(1-F_0(x))}$. Substituting the weight-function by a suitable random constant leads to a new test-statistic, for which we can derive the exact distribution (and the limit distribution) under the hypothesis. A comparison via a Monte-Carlo simulation shows that the new test is uniformly better than the Smirnov-test and an appropriately modified test due to cite{r20}. Our methodology also works for the two-sided alternative $F neq F_0$.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47487307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a well established fact that the use of restrictions lowers the effect of multicollinearity. In this article, an alternative to the ML estimator has been introduced by combining the exact prior information into the logistic r − k class (Lrk) estimator. The estimator is named a logistic restricted r − k class estimator. Another estimator, logistic restricted PCR estimator, is also developed as a special case of the LRrk estimator. The asymptotic mean squared error (MSE) matrix properties of the estimators are studied and necessary and sufficient conditions are derived. Further, a Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to compare the performance of the estimators in terms of the scalar MSE and the prediction MSE. It is found that the proposed estimators perform better than the existing estimators in most of the cases considered. Moreover, a numerical example has also been presented for comparing the performance of the estimators.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47422069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a class of blockmodels to model stochastic equivalence and visualize groups in an unobservable space.

The projection proposed in the paper is performed without needing to project individuals, unlike the main approaches in the literature. Our approach can be used in undirected or directed graphs and is flexible enough to cluster and quantify between and within-group tie probabilities in social networks. The effectiveness of the methodology in representing groups in latent spaces was analyzed under artificial datasets and in two case studies.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46862529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robust variable selection procedures through penalized regression have been gaining increased attention. In our work, a robust penalized regression estimator based on exponential squared loss for autoregressive (AR) models is proposed and discussed. The objective model with adaptive Lasso penalty realizes variable selection and parameter estimation simultaneously. Under some regular conditions, we establish the asymptotic and “Oracle” properties of the proposed estimator. In particular, the induced non-convex and non-differentiable mathematical programming problem offers challenges for solving algorithms. To solve this problem efficiently, we specially design a block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm equipped with concave-convex process (CCCP) and provide a convergence guarantee. Numerical simulation studies are carried out to show that the proposed method is particularly robust and applicable compared with some recent methods when there are different types of noise or different intensity of noise. Furthermore, an application on a dataset of daily minimum temperature in Melbourne over 1981-1990 is performed.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46292382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
