Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of exponential statistical structures of type B, which constitute a subclass of exponential families of probability distributions. This class is characterized by a number of analytical and probabilistic properties that make it a convenient tool for solving both theoretical and applied problems in statistics. The relevance of this research lies in the need to generalize known classes of distributions and to develop a unified framework for their analysis, which is essential for applications in stochastic modeling, machine learning, financial mathematics. The paper proposes a formal definition of type B. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a statistical structure to belong to class B are established, and it is proved that such structures can be represented through a dominating measure with an explicit Laplace transform. The obtained results make it possible to describe a wide range of well-known one-dimensional and multivariate distributions, including the Binomial, Poisson, Normal, Gamma, Polynomial, Logarithmic distributions, as well as specific cases such as the Borel-Tanner and Random Walk distributions. Particular attention is given to the proof of structural theorems that determine the stability of class B under linear transformations and the addition of independent random vectors. Recursive relations for initial and central moments as well as for semi-invariants are obtained, providing an efficient analytical and computational framework for their evaluation. Furthermore, the tails of type B distributions are investigated using the properties of the Laplace transform. New exponential inequalities for estimating the probabilities of large deviations are derived. The obtained results can be applied in theoretical studies and in practical problems of stochastic modeling.

A Scale Invariance Property of PCA

The PCA algorithm is sensitive to changes in measurement scale. Measuring one variable of a system in inches rather than centimeters, say, alters both its principal axes and principal eigenvalues. Although this scale dependence is generally complicated, we show here that it nevertheless obeys a strict invariance property: under a continuous scale adjustment, the initial state's $k$-th largest principal component (ordered by eigenvalue) continuously evolves into the final state's $k$-th largest principal component, for each $k$. In this sense, we can say that the modes of PCA are "order-stable" with respect to changes in measurement scale. A special case occurs when scaling along directions that are orthogonal to some modes. Here, apparent eigenvalue crossings can occur. However, we show that we can interpret these apparent crossings as cases where the modes instantaneously swap their orientation, in this way maintaining the required order stability.

Small noise asymptotics for linear parabolic SPDEs in two space dimensions with unknown damping factors

We study parametric estimation for second order linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations in two space dimensions with a small volatility parameter driven by a $Q$-Wiener process with an unknown damping parameter using high frequency spatio-temporal data. We first provide an estimator for the damping parameter of the $Q$-Wiener process utilizing realized quadratic variations based on spatial and temporal increments. We next propose minimum contrast estimators of the diffusive and advective parameters in the SPDE using a contrast function with the proposed estimator of the damping parameter. We then construct a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of the reaction parameter in the SPDE using the approximate coordinate process derived from the estimators of the diffusive and advective parameters. We also provide simulation results of the proposed estimators.

Spike Estimation from Heteroscedastic Noise via Random Splitting

In this paper, we consider a spiked Wigner type matrix with a heteroscedastic and unknown variance profile. It is well known that in the supercritical regime of the BBP transition, strong spikes can create outliers in the spectrum. Unfortunately, in the heteroscedastic case, in general it is not possible to estimate the spike strength from these observed outlier consistently, as the latter is a solution to a Dyson equation with unknown parameters from the variance profile. In this paper, inspired by the work on sparse matrix completion \citep{BordenaveCosteNadakuditi2023}, we introduce an asymmetrized model by randomly splitting the spiked matrix into two parts, which transforms the noisy Wigner type matrix into a non Hermitian random matrix, while preserving the Hermitian spikes at the cost of a dilution. We establish a BBP type transition for the asymmetrized model, from which we can estimate the strength of the spikes precisely, even without knowing the variance profile of the noise part. We then further apply our approach to study the correlation between two correlated spiked models, where the spike/signal parts of the two models are correlated, and the noise parts are independent but may both be heteroscedastic. By applying our asymmetrization approach to the two models separately and also jointly, we are able to obtain a precise estimate of the correlation between the signal parts of the two models.
