  1. Testing the finiteness of the support of a distribution: a statistical look at Tsirelson's equation.

    Authors: Mathieu Rosenbaum, Sylvain Delattre
    Subjects: Probability
    Abstract

    We consider the following statistical problem: based on an i.i.d.sample of
    size n of integer valued random variables with common law m, is it possible to
    test whether or not the support of m is finite as n goes to infinity? This
    question is in particular connected to a simple case of Tsirelson's equation,
    for which it is natural to distinguish between two main configurations, the
    first one leading only to laws with finite support, and the second one
    including laws with infinite support.

  2. Scaling limits for Hawkes processes and application to financial statistics.

    Authors: Sylvain Delattre, Marc Hoffmann, Emmanuel Bacry, Jean François Muzy
    Subjects: Probability
    Abstract

    We prove a law of large numbers and a functional central limit theorem for
    multivariate Hawkes processes observed over a time interval $[0,T]$ in the
    limit $T \rightarrow \infty$. We further exhibit the asymptotic behaviour of
    the covariation of the increments of the components of a multivariate Hawkes
    process, when the observations are imposed by a discrete scheme with mesh
    $\Delta$ over $[0,T]$ up to some further time shift $\tau$.

  3. Testing over a continuum of null hypotheses.

    Authors: Gilles Blanchard, Etienne Roquain, Sylvain Delattre
    Subjects: Methodology
    Abstract

    We introduce a theoretical framework for performing statistical hypothesis
    testing simultaneously over a fairly general, possibly uncountably infinite,
    set of null hypotheses. This extends the standard statistical setting for
    multiple hypotheses testing, which is restricted to a finite set. This work is
    motivated by numerous modern applications where the observed signal is modeled
    by a stochastic process over a continuum. As a measure of type I error, we
    extend the concept of false discovery rate (FDR) to this setting.

  4. Nonparametric regression with martingale increment errors.

    Authors: Stéphane Gaïffas, Sylvain Delattre
    Subjects: Statistics
    Abstract

    We consider the problem of adaptive estimation of the regression function in
    a framework where we replace ergodicity assumptions (such as independence or
    mixing) by another structural assumption on the model. Namely, we propose
    adaptive upper bounds for kernel estimators with data-driven bandwidth
    (Lepski's selection rule) in a regression model where the noise is an increment
    of martingale. It includes, as very particular cases, the usual i.i.d.
    regression and auto-regressive models.

  5. On the false discovery proportion convergence under Gaussian equi-correlation.

    Authors: Etienne Roquain, Sylvain Delattre
    Subjects: Statistics
    Abstract

    We study the convergence of the false discovery proportion (FDP) of the
    Benjamini-Hochberg procedure in the Gaussian equi-correlated model, when the
    correlation $\rho_m$ converges to zero as the hypothesis number $m$ grows to
    infinity. By contrast with the standard convergence rate $m^{1/2}$ holding
    under independence, this study shows that the FDP converges to the false
    discovery rate (FDR) at rate $\{\min(m,1/\rho_m)\}^{1/2}$ in this
    equi-correlated model.
