We present a geometrical method for analyzing sequential estimating procedures. It is based on the design principle of the second-order efficient sequential estimation provided in Okamoto, Amari and Takeuchi (1991). By introducing a dual conformal curvature quantity, we clarify the conditions for the covariance minimization of sequential estimators. These conditions are further elabolated for the multidimensional curved exponential family. The theoretical results are then numerically examined by using typical statistical models, von Mises-Fisher and hyperboloid models.

This article presents a differential geometrical method for analyzing sequential test procedures. It is based on the primal result on the conformal geometry of statistical manifold developed in Kumon, Takemura and Takeuchi (2011). By introducing curv
ature-type random variables, the condition is first clarified for a statistical manifold to be an exponential family under an appropriate sequential test procedure. This result is further elaborated for investigating the efficient sequential test in a multidimensional curved exponential family. The theoretical results are numerically examined by using von Mises-Fisher and hyperboloid models.
The asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimate is proved to decrease when the maximization is restricted to a subspace that contains the true parameter value. Maximum likelihood estimation allows a systematic fitting of covariance models
to the sample, which is important in data assimilation. The hierarchical maximum likelihood approach is applied to the spectral diagonal covariance model with different parameterizations of eigenvalue decay, and to the sparse inverse covariance model with specified parameter values on different sets of nonzero entries. It is shown computationally that using smaller sets of parameters can decrease the sampling noise in high dimension substantially.
The purpose of this note is to provide an approximation for the generalized bootstrapped empirical process achieving the rate in Kolmos et al. (1975). The proof is based on much the same arguments as in Horvath et al. (2000). As a consequence, we est

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.
The James-Stein estimator is an estimator of the multivariate normal mean and dominates the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) under squared error loss. The original work inspired great interest in developing shrinkage estimators for a variety of pro
blems. Nonetheless, research on shrinkage estimation for manifold-valued data is scarce. In this paper, we propose shrinkage estimators for the parameters of the Log-Normal distribution defined on the manifold of $N times N$ symmetric positive-definite matrices. For this manifold, we choose the Log-Euclidean metric as its Riemannian metric since it is easy to compute and is widely used in applications. By using the Log-Euclidean distance in the loss function, we derive a shrinkage estimator in an analytic form and show that it is asymptotically optimal within a large class of estimators including the MLE, which is the sample Frechet mean of the data. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed shrinkage estimator via several simulated data experiments. Furthermore, we apply the shrinkage estimator to perform statistical inference in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging problems.
