Some Limit Theorems (Empirical Processes)
… laws of the iterated logarithm for partial sum processes indexed by classes of functions. For the central limit theorem, we assume an envelope condition and a majorizing measure condition more general than the usual metric entropy with bracketing. For the laws of the iterated logarithm, we …

Inference for Parametric Empirical Processes
Parametric empirical processes, empirical processes that incorporate parametric modeling components into their definition, play a natural role in many inferential settings. In this dissertation we illustrate their application, highlighting methods for inference that rely on supremum-norm test …

Applications of empirical processes in learning theory : algorithmic stability and generalization bounds
… on concentration inequalities and tools from empirical process theory. We obtain theoretical results and demonstrate their applications to machine learning. First, we show how various notions of stability upper- and lower-bound the bias and variance of several estimators of the expected …

Robustness and generalization guarantees for statistical learning of generative models
… standard methods based on the theory of empirical processes with ideas from optimal transport and signal recovery, we formally address the generalization and robustness guarantees for the existing and newly suggested algorithms. More specifically, we consider the following three problems: …

The Effects of a hospital ward eating environment on patients' mealtime experience.
… of patients’ food intake and mood. Following the empirical processes this study has engaged in, theoretical contributions have been made which include; (1) A conceptual model for factors affecting patients’ foodservice experience developed from a synthesis of literature and theories with regard to …

Towards a theory of the configuration and management of export-dependent land-based value systems: The case of New Zealand
… building, encompassing both theoretical and empirical contributions, was developed. Empirical evidence was then gathered through multiple case studies of the meat and pipfruit industries to augment theory building. Particular attention was paid to empirical processes relating to the …

The Archaic Makes the Avant-garde. Experimental Practice and Primordial Image. Reading the Brazilian Post-neoconcrete and the Japanese Gutai Artists Through Mircea Eliade and Carl Gustav Jung.
… between the body and the material; their empirical processes preceded and dispensed theoretical consideration. As a result, their practice and work substantiated a very primal bond between artist, matter and creative drive, through which they cumulatively experienced the creative potency, …

Essays on asymptotic methods in econometrics
… Chapter 1 develops new theory of integrable empirical processes and applies it to outlier robustness analysis. A frequent concern in empirical research is to ensure that a handful of outlying observations have not driven the key empirical findings. This chapter constructs a formal statistical …

Computable Performance Analysis of Recovering Signals with Low-dimensional Structures
… of these goodness measures. Using tools from empirical processes and generic chaining, I analytically demonstrate that as long as the number of measurements are relatively large, these goodness measures are bounded away from zeros for a large class of random sensing matrices, a result parallel …

On some inferential problems with recurrent event models
… estimators and or statistics are presented via empirical processes tools. Small sample results using intensive simulation study of the various procedures are presented, and these show good approximation of the truth. Real recurrent event data from the engineering and biomedical studies are …
