A Multi-step Richardson-Romberg extrapolation method for stochastic

Get Complete Project Material File(s) Now! » A Multi-step Richardson-Romberg extrapolation method for stochastic approximation. Stochastic approximation (SA) algorithms are simulation based procedures to approximate the zeros of a function h : Rd ! Rd which writes h() = E[H(;...

M-estimators of the scatter matrix for stationary and non-stationary elliptical distributions 

Get Complete Project Material File(s) Now! » Dual representations of the divergence under L-moment constraints The minimization of ϕ-divergences under linear equality constraint is performed using Fenchel-Legendre duality. It transforms the constrained problems into an unconstrained one in the space...
