Let $(X,Y)$ be a bivariate random vector. The estimation of a probability of the form $P(Yleq y mid X >t) $ is challenging when $t$ is large, and a fruitful approach consists in studying, if it exists, the limiting conditional distribution of the random vector $(X,Y)$, suitably normalized, given that $X$ is large. There already exists a wide literature on bivariate models for which this limiting distribution exists. In this paper, a statistical analysis of this problem is done. Estimators of the limiting distribution (which is assumed to exist) and the normalizing functions are provided, as well as an estimator of the conditional quantile function when the conditioning event is extreme. Consistency of the estimators is proved and a functional central limit theorem for the estimator of the limiting distribution is obtained. The small sample behavior of the estimator of the conditional quantile function is illustrated through simulations.

In this paper we consider the problem of estimating $f$, the conditional density of $Y$ given $X$, by using an independent sample distributed as $(X,Y)$ in the multivariate setting. We consider the estimation of $f(x,.)$ where $x$ is a fixed point. W
e define two different procedures of estimation, the first one using kernel rules, the second one inspired from projection methods. Both adapted estimators are tuned by using the Goldenshluger and Lepski methodology. After deriving lower bounds, we show that these procedures satisfy oracle inequalities and are optimal from the minimax point of view on anisotropic H{o}lder balls. Furthermore, our results allow us to measure precisely the influence of $mathrm{f}_X(x)$ on rates of convergence, where $mathrm{f}_X$ is the density of $X$. Finally, some simulations illustrate the good behavior of our tuned estimates in practice.
We propose and analyze an algorithm for the sequential estimation of a conditional quantile in the context of real stochastic codes with vectorvalued inputs. Our algorithm is based on k-nearest neighbors smoothing within a Robbins-Monro estimator. We
discuss the convergence of the algorithm under some conditions on the stochastic code. We provide non-asymptotic rates of convergence of the mean squared error and we discuss the tuning of the algorithms parameters.
We consider high-dimensional multivariate linear regression models, where the joint distribution of covariates and response variables is a multivariate normal distribution with a bandable covariance matrix. The main goal of this paper is to estimate
the regression coefficient matrix, which is a function of the bandable covariance matrix. Although the tapering estimator of covariance has the minimax optimal convergence rate for the class of bandable covariances, we show that it has a sub-optimal convergence rate for the regression coefficient; that is, a minimax estimator for the class of bandable covariances may not be a minimax estimator for its functionals. We propose the blockwise tapering estimator of the regression coefficient, which has the minimax optimal convergence rate for the regression coefficient under the bandable covariance assumption. We also propose a Bayesian procedure called the blockwise tapering post-processed posterior of the regression coefficient and show that the proposed Bayesian procedure has the minimax optimal convergence rate for the regression coefficient under the bandable covariance assumption. We show that the proposed methods outperform the existing methods via numerical studies.
This paper studies the minimax rate of nonparametric conditional density estimation under a weighted absolute value loss function in a multivariate setting. We first demonstrate that conditional density estimation is impossible if one only requires t
hat $p_{X|Z}$ is smooth in $x$ for all values of $z$. This motivates us to consider a sub-class of absolutely continuous distributions, restricting the conditional density $p_{X|Z}(x|z)$ to not only be Holder smooth in $x$, but also be total variation smooth in $z$. We propose a corresponding kernel-based estimator and prove that it achieves the minimax rate. We give some simple examples of densities satisfying our assumptions which imply that our results are not vacuous. Finally, we propose an estimator which achieves the minimax optimal rate adaptively, i.e., without the need to know the smoothness parameter values in advance. Crucially, both of our estimators (the adaptive and non-adaptive ones) impose no assumptions on the marginal density $p_Z$, and are not obtained as a ratio between two kernel smoothing estimators which may sound like a go to approach in this problem.
Fan et al. [$mathit{Annals}$ $mathit{of}$ $mathit{Statistics}$ $textbf{47}$(6) (2019) 3009-3031] proposed a distributed principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm to significantly reduce the communication cost between multiple servers. In this pape
r, we robustify their distributed algorithm by using robust covariance matrix estimators respectively proposed by Minsker [$mathit{Annals}$ $mathit{of}$ $mathit{Statistics}$ $textbf{46}$(6A) (2018) 2871-2903] and Ke et al. [$mathit{Statistical}$ $mathit{Science}$ $textbf{34}$(3) (2019) 454-471] instead of the sample covariance matrix. We extend the deviation bound of robust covariance estimators with bounded fourth moments to the case of the heavy-tailed distribution under only bounded $2+epsilon$ moments assumption. The theoretical results show that after the shrinkage or truncation treatment for the sample covariance matrix, the statistical error rate of the final estimator produced by the robust algorithm is the same as that of sub-Gaussian tails, when $epsilon geq 2$ and the sampling distribution is symmetric innovation. While $2 > epsilon >0$, the rate with respect to the sample size of each server is slower than that of the bounded fourth moment assumption. Extensive numerical results support the theoretical analysis, and indicate that the algorithm performs better than the original distributed algorithm and is robust to heavy-tailed data and outliers.
