The Buckley-Osthus model and the block preferential attachment model: statistical analysis and application
Xin Guo, Fengmin Tang, Wenpin Tang
This paper is concerned with statistical estimation of two preferential attachment models: the Buckley-Osthus model and the hierarchical preferential attachment model. We prove tha…
The Poisson binomial distribution -- Old & New
Wenpin Tang, Fengmin Tang
This is an expository article on the Poisson binomial distribution. We review lesser known results and recent progress on this topic, including geometry of polynomials and distribu…
The existence of maximum likelihood estimate in high-dimensional binary response generalized linear models
Wenpin Tang, Yuting Ye
Motivated by recent works on the high-dimensional logistic regression, we establish that the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate exhibits a phase transition for a wide ran…
On identifiability and consistency of the nugget in Gaussian spatial process models
Wenpin Tang, Lu Zhang, Sudipto Banerjee
Spatial process models popular in geostatistics often represent the observed data as the sum of a smooth underlying process and white noise. The variation in the white noise is att…
Parallel Search for Information
T. Tony Ke, Wenpin Tang, J. Miguel Villas-Boas +1
We consider the problem of a decision-maker searching for information on multiple alternatives when information is learned on all alternatives simultaneously. The decision-maker ha…
