Estimation in Functional Regression for General Exponential Families
Winston Wei Dou, David Pollard, Harrison H. Zhou
This paper studies a class of exponential family models whose canonical parameters are specified as linear functionals of an unknown infinite-dimensional slope function. The optima…
Conditioned Poisson distributions and the concentration of chromatic numbers
John Hartigan, David Pollard, Sekhar Tatikonda
The paper provides a simpler method for proving a delicate inequality that was used by Achlioptis and Naor to establish asymptotic concentration for chromatic numbers of Erdos-Reny…
Some thoughts on Le Cam's statistical decision theory
David Pollard
The paper contains some musings about the abstractions introduced by Lucien Le Cam into the asymptotic theory of statistical inference and decision theory. A short, self-contained…
Asymptotics for minimisers of convex processes
Nils Lid Hjort, David Pollard
By means of two simple convexity arguments we are able to develop a general method for proving consistency and asymptotic normality of estimators that are defined by minimisation o…
A note on insufficiency and the preservation of Fisher information
David Pollard
Kagan and Shepp (2005, Amer. Statist.) presented an elegant example of a mixture model for which an insufficient statistic preserves Fisher information. This note uses the regulari…
