In some invariant estimation problems under a group, the Bayes estimator against an invariant prior has equivariance as well. This is useful notably for evaluating the frequentist risk of the Bayes estimator. This paper addresses the problem of estimating a matrix of means in normal...

This study shows how correspondence analysis may be applied to a subset of response categories from a questionnaire survey (e.g., the subset of undecided responses or the subset of responses for a particular category across several questions). The idea is to maintain the original relative...

The paper uses functional auto-regression to predict the dynamics of interest rate curve. It estimates the auto-regressive operator by extending methods of the reduced-rank auto-regression to the functional data. Such an estimation technique is better suited for prediction purposes as opposed to...
