In this paper, we establish exact rate of strong uniform consistency for the local linear estimator of the conditional distribution function. As a consequence of our main result, we give asymptotic uniform certainty bands. We illustrate our results with simulations. 1Équipe Probabilités et Statistiques, IECN, Nancy-Université, CNRS, INRIA Bd des Aiguillettes, B.P. 239, 54506 Vandoeuvre-lès-Nanc...

Alternative reproductive tactics of males have been studied in many species, but few studies have focused on females. In many communally breeding mammals, females can be adult non-breeding helpers, leave the group and breed solitarily, or they could be a breeder in their natal group, representing three alternative reproductive tactics. The reasons for delayed breeding are not well understood, b...

This paper deals with the numerical simulations of the Vlasov-Poisson equation using a phase space grid in the quasi-neutral regime. In this limit, explicit numerical schemes suffer from numerical constraints related to the small Debye length and large plasma frequency. Here, we propose a semi-Lagrangian scheme for the Vlasov-Poisson model in the quasi-neutral limit. The main ingredient relies ...
