This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of local linear quantile regression estimators for spatial data generated by strictly stationary and associated spatial processes . We study local linear estimators for both the conditional quantile function and its first-order partial derivatives. Under appropriate regularity conditions, we derive the Bahadur representation for these estimators, which is utilized to establish their joint asymptotic normality. To assess finite-sample performance, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations in a two-dimensional space (). The results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed estimators and confirm the theoretical asymptotic properties.

We propose a communication-efficient distributed robust variable selection method using discounted exponential regression for massive data. Theoretical properties of the proposed method are demonstrated. Simulation studies and the application to flue gas emission data illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Bivariate time-to-event data, subject to right censoring, frequently arise in medical research. This paper introduces a novel nonparametric multiple imputation (MI) procedure for analyzing censored bivariate time-to-event data. Our methodology offers a straightforward, easy-to-implement inverse transform MI method that effectively captures the joint distribution of bivariate random variables through the imputation of censored event-times.

This paper establishes the optimal sub-Gaussian variance proxy for truncated Gaussian and truncated exponential random variables. The proofs are based initially on reducing each distribution to their standardized versions. Geometrically, for the normal distribution, our argument consists of fitting a parabola to another parabola-looking function, which emerges from its moment generating function. For the exponential case, we show that the optimal variance proxy is the unique solution to a pair of equations and then provide this solution explicitly. Moreover, we demonstrate that truncated Gaussian variables exhibit strict sub-Gaussian behavior if and only if they are symmetric, meaning their truncation is symmetric with respect to the mean. Conversely, truncated exponential variables are shown to never exhibit strict sub-Gaussianity.

Rosco et al. (2011) introduced and studied the sinh-arcsinh (SAS-) distribution. In this article, we introduce a modified version of that distribution which we call the eschewed sinh-arcsinh (ESAS-) distribution. The new proposal proves to be somewhat simpler than the former and, on balance, given the pros and cons listed in the article, we now recommend the ESAS- distribution over the SAS- distribution as the preferable version of a sinh-arcsinh distribution.

We investigate the limiting behaviour of the path of random bridges treated as random sets in with the Euclidean metric and the dimension increasing to infinity. The main result states that, in the square integrable case, the limit (in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense) is deterministic, namely, it is equipped with the pseudo-metric . We also show that, in the heavy-tailed case with summands regularly varying of order , the limiting metric space has a random metric derived from the bridge variant of a subordinator.

Analogues to fundamental asymptotic relations in renewal theory are considered under the assumption that the time is a random variable and that the interarrival times have infinite mean. Limits are given for interarrival times with regularly varying tail and for sequences of parameters of the respective random-time distribution under mild conditions. An application to alternating renewal processes is shown.

Based on dispersive and hazard rate orders, sharp lower bounds for the maximum order statistic of heterogeneous dependent exponential random variables whose joint distribution is modeled via an Archimedean copula are found. Our results extend and refine a recent contribution by Amini-Seresht, Khaledi, and Izadkhah (Statist. Probab. Lett. 215 (2024), 110242), by providing tighter bounds under convenient conditions on the generator function of the Archimedean copula.
