Consider a normal model with unknown mean bounded by a known constant. This paper deals with minimax estimation of the squared mean. We establish an expression for the asymptotic minimax risk. This result is applied in nonparametric estimation of quadratic functionals.

In this paper the interest is in testing whether a regression function is a polynomial of a certain degree. One possible approach to this testing problem is to do a parametric polynomial fit and a nonparametric fit and to reject the null hypothesis of a polynomial function if the distance...

One way to model a dependence structure is through the copula function which is a mean to capture the dependence structure in the joint distribution of variables. Association measures such as Kendall's tau or Spearman's rho can be expressed as functionals of the copula. The dependence structure...

A major aim in recent nonparametric frontier modeling is to estimate a partial frontier well inside the sample of production units but near the optimal boundary. Two concepts of partial boundaries of the production set have been proposed: an expected maximum output frontier of order m=1,2,......

In this paper the interest is in testing for tail monotonicity dependence structures between two random variables. The main focus in the presentation of the statistical methodology is on left tail decreasingness, but the developed procedures can also be used for testing for other specific tail...
