Spacings Around An Order Statistic

H. N. Nagaraja, Karthik Bharath, Fangyuan Zhang

英文摘要：

We determine the joint limiting distribution of adjacent spacings around a central, intermediate, or an extreme order statistic $X_{k:n}$ of a random sample of size $n$ from a continuous distribution $F$. For central and intermediate cases, normalized spacings in the left and right neighborhoods are asymptotically i.i.d. exponential random variables. The associated independent Poisson arrival processes are independent of $X_{k:n}$. For an extreme $X_{k:n}$, the asymptotic independence property of spacings fails for $F$ in the domain of attraction of Fréchet and Weibull ($α\neq 1$) distributions. This work also provides additional insight into the limiting distribution for the number of observations around $X_{k:n}$ for all three cases.

Order statistics on the spacings between order statistics for the uniform distribution

Closed-form expressions for the distributions of the order statistics on the spacings between order statistics for the uniform distribution are obtained. This generalizes a result by Fisher concerning tests of significance in the harmonic analysis of a series.

Multivariate spacings based on data depth: I. Construction of nonparametric multivariate tolerance regions

This paper introduces and studies multivariate spacings. The spacings are developed using the order statistics derived from data depth. Specifically, the spacing between two consecutive order statistics is the region which bridges the two order statistics, in the sense that the region contains all the points whose depth values fall between the depth values of the two consecutive order statistics. These multivariate spacings can be viewed as a data-driven realization of the so-called ``statistically equivalent blocks.'' These spacings assume a form of center-outward layers of ``shells'' (``ring…

A note on the estimation of extreme value distributions using maximum product of spacings

The maximum product of spacings (MPS) is employed in the estimation of the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution (GEV) and the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD). Efficient estimators are obtained by the MPS for all $γ$. This outperforms the maximum likelihood method which is only valid for $γ<1$. It is then shown that the MPS gives estimators closer to the true parameters compared to the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) in a simulation study. In cases where sample sizes are small, the MPS performs stably while the MLE does not. The performance of MPS estimators is also more stable than …

A Generalization of the maximal-spacings in several dimensions and a convexity test

The notion of maximal-spacing in several dimensions was introduced and studied by Deheuvels (1983) for data uniformly distributed on the unit cube. Later on, Janson (1987) extended the results to data uniformly distributed on any bounded set, and obtained a very fine result, namely, he derived the asymptotic distribution of different maximal-spacings notions. These results have been very useful in many statistical applications. We extend Janson's results to the case where the data are generated from a Hölder continuous density that is bounded from below and whose support is bounded. As an appl…

On Stochastic Comparisons of Order Statistics from Heterogeneous Exponential Samples

We show that the $k$th order statistic from a heterogeneous sample of $n\geq k$ exponential random variables is larger than that from a homogeneous exponential sample in the sense of star ordering, as conjectured by Xu and Balakrishnan (2012). As a consequence, we establish hazard rate ordering for order statistics between heterogeneous and homogeneous exponential samples, resolving an open problem of Pǎltǎnea (2008). Extensions to general spacings are also presented.

A goodness-of-fit test based on a recursive product of spacings

We introduce a new statistical test based on the observed spacings of ordered data. The statistic is sensitive to detect non-uniformity in random samples, or short-lived features in event time series. Under some conditions, this new test can outperform existing ones, such as the well known Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Anderson-Darling tests, in particular when the number of samples is small and differences occur over a small quantile of the null hypothesis distribution. A detailed description of the test statistic is provided including a detailed discussion of the parameterization of its distribution…

Power of the Spacing test for Least-Angle Regression

Recent advances in Post-Selection Inference have shown that conditional testing is relevant and tractable in high-dimensions. In the Gaussian linear model, further works have derived unconditional test statistics such as the Kac-Rice Pivot for general penalized problems. In order to test the global null, a prominent offspring of this breakthrough is the spacing test that accounts the relative separation between the first two knots of the celebrated least-angle regression (LARS) algorithm. However, no results have been shown regarding the distribution of these test statistics under the alternat…

Exact and arbitrarily accurate non-parametric two-sample tests based on rank spacings

A common method for deriving non-parametric tests is to reformulate a parametric test in terms of sample ranks. Despite being distribution free (even in finite samples), the resulting tests often display remarkable asymptotic power properties, typically matching the efficiency of their parametric counterpart. Empirically, these favorable power properties have been shown to persist in non-asymptotic regimes as well, prompting the need for finite-sample characterizations of the corresponding rank-based statistics. Here, we provide such characterization for the family of weighted $p$-norms of ran…
