The main thesis of the paper is that in the case of modern statistics, the differences between the various concepts of models were the key to its formative controversies. The mathematical theory of ...

This paper reviews Daniels' saddlepoint approximation to the distribution of the mean of a random sample, and the many aspects of second order asymptotic inference that have been developed from it.

Measurement error models address the deviation between observed and true values, thereby refining the reliability of statistical inference. These frameworks are ...

Slash distributions offer a flexible framework for modelling heavy-tailed phenomena and atypical data behaviour in statistical inference. Originating as a means to construct distributions with high ...

"In this universe effect follows cause. I've complained about it, but. . ." -- House (Laurie), pre-sponding to D. Bem "The more extraordinary the event, the greater the need for it to be supported by ...

Confidence intervals are computed from a random sample and therefore they are also random. The long run behavior of a 95% confidence interval is such that we’d expect 95% of the confidence intervals ...
