We show that for nonparametric regression if the samples have random uniform design, the wavelet method with universal thresholding can be applied directly to the samples as if they were equispaced. The resulting estimator achieves within a logarithmic factor from the minimax rate of convergence over a family of H older classes. Simulation result is also discussed. c © 1999 Elsevier Science B....

The Generalized Pareto Distribution is a very useful tool for modeling in many areas of economics, finance and insurance. The Generalized Pareto Distribution is commonly used for extreme value problems. Especially, the values which exceed the finite threshold, is the focus in extreme value problems like in insurance sector. The Generalized Pareto Distribution is well approach for modeling the s...

Much of the recent work dealing with quasi-random methods has been aimed at establishing the best possible asymptotic rates of convergence to zero of the error resulting when a finite-dimensional integral is replaced by a finite sum of integrand values. In contrast with this perspective to concentrate on asymptotic convergence rates, this paper emphasizes quasi-random methods that are effective...

Selecting the optimal locations and timing for prescribed burning is challenging when considering uncertainties in weather, fire behavior, future suppression. In this study, we present a sample average approximation (SAA) based multistage stochastic mixed integer program with recourse to optimize decisions. The component of SAA model considers post-fuel-treatment suppression decisions manage sp...
