In the last decade, sequential Monte-Carlo methods (SMC) emerged as a key tool in computational statistics. These algorithms approximate a sequence of distributions by a sequence of weighted empirical measures associated to a weighted population of particles. These particles and weights are generated recursively according to elementary transformations: mutation and selection. Examples of applications include the sequential Monte-Carlo techniques to solve optimal non-linear filtering problems in state-space models, molecular simulation, genetic optimization, etc. Despite many theoretical advances the asymptotic property of these approximations remains of course a question of central interest. In this paper, we analyze sequential Monte Carlo methods from an asymptotic perspective, that is, we establish law of large numbers and invariance principle as the number of particles gets large. We introduce the concepts of weighted sample consistency and asymptotic normality, and derive conditions under which the mutation and the selection procedure used in the sequential Monte-Carlo build-up preserve these properties. To illustrate our findings, we analyze SMC algorithms to approximate the filtering distribution in state-space models. We show how our techniques allow to relax restrictive technical conditions used in previously reported works and provide grounds to analyze more sophisticated sequential sampling strategies.
We establish a central limit theorem for (a sequence of) multivariate martingales which dimension potentially grows with the length $n$ of the martingale. A consequence of the results are Gaussian couplings and a multiplier bootstrap for the maximum
This paper proposes a family of weighted batch means variance estimators, which are computationally efficient and can be conveniently applied in practice. The focus is on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations and estimation of the asymptotic covarianc
We consider Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for calculating conditional p values of statistical models for count data arising in Box-Behnken designs. The statistical model we consider is a discrete version of the first-order model in the response su
It is known that a Markov basis of the binary graph model of a graph $G$ corresponds to a set of binomial generators of cut ideals $I_{widehat{G}}$ of the suspension $widehat{G}$ of $G$. In this paper, we give another application of cut ideals to sta
In this paper, we study a high-dimensional random matrix model from nonparametric statistics called the Kendall rank correlation matrix, which is a natural multivariate extension of the Kendall rank correlation coefficient. We establish the Tracy-Wid
