In this paper, we address the estimation of the sensitivity indices called Shapley eects. These sensitivity indices enable to handle dependent input variables. The Shapley eects are generally dicult to estimate, but they are easily computable in the Gaussian linear framework. The aim of this work is to use the values of the Shapley eects in an approximated Gaussian linear framework as estimators of the true Shapley eects corresponding to a non-linear model. First, we assume that the input variables are Gaussian with small variances. We provide rates of convergence of the estimated Shapley eects to the true Shapley eects. Then, we focus on the case where the inputs are given by an non-Gaussian empirical mean. We prove that, under some mild assumptions, when the number of terms in the empirical mean increases, the dierence between the true Shapley eects and the estimated Shapley eects given by the Gaussian linear approximation converges to 0. Our theoretical results are supported by numerical studies, showing that the Gaussian linear approximation is accurate and enables to decrease the computational time signicantly.

Let $X^{(n)}$ be an observation sampled from a distribution $P_{theta}^{(n)}$ with an unknown parameter $theta,$ $theta$ being a vector in a Banach space $E$ (most often, a high-dimensional space of dimension $d$). We study the problem of estimation
of $f(theta)$ for a functional $f:Emapsto {mathbb R}$ of some smoothness $s>0$ based on an observation $X^{(n)}sim P_{theta}^{(n)}.$ Assuming that there exists an estimator $hat theta_n=hat theta_n(X^{(n)})$ of parameter $theta$ such that $sqrt{n}(hat theta_n-theta)$ is sufficiently close in distribution to a mean zero Gaussian random vector in $E,$ we construct a functional $g:Emapsto {mathbb R}$ such that $g(hat theta_n)$ is an asymptotically normal estimator of $f(theta)$ with $sqrt{n}$ rate provided that $s>frac{1}{1-alpha}$ and $dleq n^{alpha}$ for some $alphain (0,1).$ We also derive general upper bounds on Orlicz norm error rates for estimator $g(hat theta)$ depending on smoothness $s,$ dimension $d,$ sample size $n$ and the accuracy of normal approximation of $sqrt{n}(hat theta_n-theta).$ In particular, this approach yields asymptotically efficient estimators in some high-dimensional exponential models.
The saddlepoint approximation gives an approximation to the density of a random variable in terms of its moment generating function. When the underlying random variable is itself the sum of $n$ unobserved i.i.d. terms, the basic classical result is t
hat the relative error in the density is of order $1/n$. If instead the approximation is interpreted as a likelihood and maximised as a function of model parameters, the result is an approximation to the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) that can be much faster to compute than the true MLE. This paper proves the analogous basic result for the approximation error between the saddlepoint MLE and the true MLE: subject to certain explicit identifiability conditions, the error has asymptotic size $O(1/n^2)$ for some parameters, and $O(1/n^{3/2})$ or $O(1/n)$ for others. In all three cases, the approximation errors are asymptotically negligible compared to the inferential uncertainty. The proof is based on a factorisation of the saddlepoint likelihood into an exact and approximate term, along with an analysis of the approximation error in the gradient of the log-likelihood. This factorisation also gives insight into alternatives to the saddlepoint approximation, including a new and simpler saddlepoint approximation, for which we derive analogous error bounds. As a corollary of our results, we also obtain the asymptotic size of the MLE error approximation when the saddlepoint approximation is replaced by the normal approximation.
We consider the nonparametric functional estimation of the drift of a Gaussian process via minimax and Bayes estimators. In this context, we construct superefficient estimators of Stein type for such drifts using the Malliavin integration by parts fo
rmula and superharmonic functionals on Gaussian space. Our results are illustrated by numerical simulations and extend the construction of James--Stein type estimators for Gaussian processes by Berger and Wolpert [J. Multivariate Anal. 13 (1983) 401--424].
We consider stationary processes with long memory which are non-Gaussian and represented as Hermite polynomials of a Gaussian process. We focus on the corresponding wavelet coefficients and study the asymptotic behavior of the sum of their squares si
nce this sum is often used for estimating the long-memory parameter. We show that the limit is not Gaussian but can be expressed using the non-Gaussian Rosenblatt process defined as a Wiener It^o integral of order 2. This happens even if the original process is defined through a Hermite polynomial of order higher than 2.
This paper deals with the maximum likelihood estimator for the mean-reverting parameter of a first order autoregressive models with exogenous variables, which are stationary Gaussian noises (Colored noise). Using the method of the Laplace transform,
both the asymptotic properties and the asymptotic design problem of the maximum likelihood estimator are investigated. The numerical simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis and show that the proposed maximum likelihood estimator performs well in finite sample.
