Flexible modelling in statistics: past, present and future
Christophe Ley
In times where more and more data become available and where the data exhibit rather complex structures (significant departure from symmetry, heavy or light tails), flexible modell…
Stein's method for comparison of univariate distributions
Christophe Ley, Gesine Reinert, Yvik Swan
We propose a new general version of Stein's method for univariate distributions. In particular we propose a canonical definition of the Stein operator of a probability distribution…
High-dimensional tests for spherical location and spiked covariance
Christophe Ley, Davy Paindaveine, Thomas Verdebout
Rotationally symmetric distributions on the p-dimensional unit hypersphere, extremely popular in directional statistics, involve a location parameter theta that indicates the direc…
Depth-based Runs Tests for Bivariate Central Symmetry
Rainer Dyckerhoff, Christophe Ley, Davy Paindaveine
McWilliams (1990) introduced a nonparametric procedure based on runs for the problem of testing univariate symmetry about the origin (equivalently, about an arbitrary specified cen…
