Two separate statistical tests are applied to the AGASA and preliminary Auger Cosmic Ray Energy spectra in an attempt to find deviation from a pure power-law. The first test is constructed from the probability distribution for the maximum event of a sample drawn from a power-law. The second employs the TP-statistic, a function defined to deviate from zero when the sample deviates from the power-law form, regardless of the value of the power index. The AGASA data show no significant deviation from a power-law when subjected to both tests. Applying these tests to the Auger spectrum suggests deviation from a power-law. However, potentially large systematics on the relative energy scale prevent us from drawing definite conclusions at this time.

Two separate statistical tests are described and developed in order to test un-binned data sets for adherence to the power-law form. The first test employs the TP-statistic, a function defined to deviate from zero when the sample deviates from the po
wer-law form, regardless of the value of the power index. The second test employs a likelihood ratio test to reject a power-law background in favor of a model signal distribution with a cut-off.
We consider the connections among `clumped residual allocation models (RAMs), a general class of stick-breaking processes including Dirichlet processes, and the occupation laws of certain discrete space time-inhomogeneous Markov chains related to sim
ulated annealing and other applications. An intermediate structure is introduced in a given RAM, where proportions between successive indices in a list are added or clumped together to form another RAM. In particular, when the initial RAM is a Griffiths-Engen-McCloskey (GEM) sequence and the indices are given by the random times that an auxiliary Markov chain jumps away from its current state, the joint law of the intermediate RAM and the locations visited in the sojourns is given in terms of a `disordered GEM sequence, and an induced Markov chain. Through this joint law, we identify a large class of `stick breaking processes as the limits of empirical occupation measures for associated time-inhomogeneous Markov chains.
We give a new proof of the classical Central Limit Theorem, in the Mallows ($L^r$-Wasserstein) distance. Our proof is elementary in the sense that it does not require complex analysis, but rather makes use of a simple subadditive inequality related t
o this metric. The key is to analyse the case where equality holds. We provide some results concerning rates of convergence. We also consider convergence to stable distributions, and obtain a bound on the rate of such convergence.
The first aim of the present paper, is to establish strong approximations of the uniform non-overlapping k-spacings process extending the results of Aly et al. (1984). Our methods rely on the invariance principle in Mason and van Zwet (1987). The sec
ond goal, is to generalize the Dindar (1997) results for the increments of the spacings quantile process to the uniforme non-overlapping k-spacings quantile process. We apply the last result to characterize the limit laws of functionals of the increments k-spacings quantile process.
For $1 le p < infty$, the Frechet $p$-mean of a probability distribution $mu$ on a metric space $(X,d)$ is the set $F_p(mu) := {arg,min}_{xin X}int_{X}d^p(x,y), dmu(y)$, which is taken to be empty if no minimizer exists. Given a sequence $(Y_i)_{i in
mathbb{N}}$ of independent, identically distributed random samples from some probability measure $mu$ on $X$, the Frechet $p$-means of the empirical measures, $F_p(frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^{n}delta_{Y_i})$ form a sequence of random closed subsets of $X$. We investigate the senses in which this sequence of random closed sets and related objects converge almost surely as $n to infty$.
