Asymptotic optimality theory of confidence intervals of the mean
Vikas Deep, Achal Bassamboo, Sandeep Juneja
We address the classical problem of constructing confidence intervals (CIs) for the mean of a distribution, given \(N\) i.i.d. samples, such that the CI contains the true mean with…

Generating DDPM-based Samples from Tilted Distributions
Himadri Mandal, Dhruman Gupta, Rushil Gupta +5
Given independent samples from a -dimensional probability distribution, our aim is to generate diffusion-based samples from a distribution obtained by tilting the original,…

Fundamental limits for weighted empirical approximations of tilted distributions
Sarvesh Ravichandran Iyer, Himadri Mandal, Dhruman Gupta +5
Consider the task of generating samples from a tilted distribution of a random vector whose underlying distribution is unknown, but samples from it are available. This finds applic…
