Nonparametric estimation and U-statistics have emerged as vital tools in modern statistical analysis, offering robust alternatives to traditional parametric methods. Nonparametric techniques bypass ...

Abstract: Streamflow disaggregation techniques are used to distribute a single aggregate flow value to multiple sites in both space and time while preserving distributional statistics (i.e., mean, ...

We use influence functions as a basic tool to study unconditional nonparametric and parametric expected shortfall (ES) estimators with regard to returns data influence, standard errors and coherence.

A transformed Bernstein polynomial that is centered at standard parametric families, such as Weibull or log-logistic, is proposed for use in the accelerated hazards model. This class provides a ...
