The key feature of the proposed model is that the sojourn times of the states in the semi-Markov chain are time-dependent, making it an inhomogeneous semi-Markov chain. Conjectured consistency of the parameter estimators is checked by simulation study using direct numerical optimization of the log-likelihood function. The proposed models are applied to a global volcanic eruption catalogue to investigate the time-dependent incompleteness of the record by introducing a particular case of IHSMMs with time-dependent shifted Poisson state durations and a renewal process as the observed process. The Akaike Information Criterion and residual analysis are used to choose the best model. The selected IHSMM provides useful insights into the completeness of the global record of volcanic eruptions, demonstrating the effectiveness of this method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55511,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44617410","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}

Existing breakdown point notions do not cover ranking problems so far. We propose to define a breakdown of the estimator as a sign-reversal of all components which causes the predicted ranking to be potentially completely inverted; therefore, we call it the order-inversal breakdown point (OIBDP).

The studied family of multivariate skewed distributions is derived by taking affine combinations of independent univariate distributions. These are members of a flexible family of univariate asymmetric distributions and are an important basis for achieving statistical inference. Besides basic properties of the proposed distributions, also statistical inference based on a maximum likelihood approach is presented.

Most existing studies of selective inference consider a specific algorithm, such as Lasso, for feature selection, and thus they have difficulties in handling more complicated algorithms. Moreover, existing studies often consider unnecessarily restrictive events, leading to over-conditioning and lower statistical power. Our novel and widely applicable resampling method via multiscale bootstrap addresses these issues to compute an approximately unbiased selective <i>p</i>-value for the selected features. As a simplification of the proposed method, we also develop a simpler method via the classical bootstrap.
