Sequential change-point detection based on direct density-ratio estimation

Change-point detection is the problem of discovering time points at which properties of time-series data change. This covers a broad range of real-world problems and has been actively discussed in the community of statistics and data mining. In this paper, we present a novel nonparametric approach to detecting the change of probability distributions of sequence data. Our key idea is to estimate...

Sequential Point Estimation of Estimable Parameters Based on U - Statistics

Asymptotically risk-efficient sequential point estimation of regular functionals of distribution functions based on U-statistics is considered under appropriate regularity conditions. Some auxiliary results on U-statistics are also considered in this context. fu~S Subject Classification: 62L12, 62LlS, 62G99.

Remarks on Caristi’s Fixed Point Theorem

In this work, we give a characterization of the existence of minimal elements in partially ordered sets in terms of fixed point of multivalued maps. This characterization shows that the assumptions in Caristi’s fixed point theorem can, a priori, be weakened. Finally, we discuss Kirk’s problem on an extension of Caristi’s theorem and prove a new positive result which illustrates the weakening me...
