Given a collection of computational models that all estimate values of the same natural process, we compare the performance of the average of the collection to the individual member whose estimates are nearest a given set of observations. Performance is the ability of a model, or average, to reproduce a sequence of observations of the process. We identify a condition that determines if a single model performs better than the average. That result also yields a necessary condition for when the average performs better than any individual model. We also give sharp bounds for the performance of the average on a given interval. Since the observation interval is fixed, performance is evaluated in a vector space, and we can add intuition to our results by explaining them geometrically. We conclude with some comments on directions statistical tests of performance might take.

We introduce a multiscale test statistic based on local order statistics and spacings that provides simultaneous confidence statements for the existence and location of local increases and decreases of a density or a failure rate. The procedure provi
des guaranteed finite-sample significance levels, is easy to implement and possesses certain asymptotic optimality and adaptivity properties.
This paper deals with order identification for nested models in the i.i.d. framework. We study the asymptotic efficiency of two generalized likelihood ratio tests of the order. They are based on two estimators which are proved to be strongly consiste
nt. A version of Steins lemma yields an optimal underestimation error exponent. The lemma also implies that the overestimation error exponent is necessarily trivial. Our tests admit nontrivial underestimation error exponents. The optimal underestimation error exponent is achieved in some situations. The overestimation error can decay exponentially with respect to a positive power of the number of observations. These results are proved under mild assumptions by relating the underestimation (resp. overestimation) error to large (resp. moderate) deviations of the log-likelihood process. In particular, it is not necessary that the classical Cram{e}r condition be satisfied; namely, the $log$-densities are not required to admit every exponential moment. Three benchmark examples with specific difficulties (location mixture of normal distributions, abrupt changes and various regressions) are detailed so as to illustrate the generality of our results.
Kernel-based non-linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as Local Linear Embedding (LLE) and Laplacian Eigenmaps, rely heavily upon pairwise distances or similarity scores, with which one can construct and study a weighted graph associated with
the dataset. When each individual data object carries additional structural details, however, the correspondence relations between these structures provide extra information that can be leveraged for studying the dataset using the graph. Based on this observation, we generalize Diffusion Maps (DM) in manifold learning and introduce the framework of Horizontal Diffusion Maps (HDM). We model a dataset with pairwise structural correspondences as a fibre bundle equipped with a connection. We demonstrate the advantage of incorporating such additional information and study the asymptotic behavior of HDM on general fibre bundles. In a broader context, HDM reveals the sub-Riemannian structure of high-dimensional datasets, and provides a nonparametric learning framework for datasets with structural correspondences.
Here, in this paper it has been considered a sub family of exponential family. Maximum likelihood estimations (MLE) for the parameter of this family, probability density function, and cumulative density function based on a sample and based on lower r
ecord values have been obtained. It has been considered Mean Square Error (MSE) as a criterion for determining which is better in different situations. Additionally, it has been proved some theories about the relations between MLE based on lower record values and based on a random sample. Also, some interesting asymptotically properties for these estimations have been shown during some theories.
We assume a spatial blind source separation model in which the observed multivariate spatial data is a linear mixture of latent spatially uncorrelated Gaussian random fields containing a number of pure white noise components. We propose a test on the
number of white noise components and obtain the asymptotic distribution of its statistic for a general domain. We also demonstrate how computations can be facilitated in the case of gridded observation locations. Based on this test, we obtain a consistent estimator of the true dimension. Simulation studies and an environmental application demonstrate that our test is at least comparable to and often outperforms bootstrap-based techniques, which are also introduced in this paper.
