On algebraic con dence sets
Abstract:
Hartigan’s “typical value theorem” (1969) [3] is the basis for random subsampling, a resampling plan which uses group theory to construct con dence intervals for the center of a symmetric distribution on a real line. Atkins and Sherman [1] derived a group-theoretic condition on a set of subsamples of a random sample from a continuous random variable symmetric about 0 to be sufficient to provide typical values for 0.
Nowadays, in the “Big Data” era, subsampling from a complex data can be viewed as a natural solution to the computational issues induced by the immoderate size of databases. Since ignoring the survey scheme can impede estimation by introducing a non-negligible bias, it might be helpful to derive statistics under symmetry (or other group action) constrain. While a plethora of analyzes has already been conducted to provide unbiased and efficient estimation of average quantiles, to our knowledge, such is not the case for phenomenons involving invariance under the action of a nite re ection group, e.g. the hyperoctahedral groups of Bn type. We have addressed this issue in Francis, Stehli
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAk and Wynn [2]. New possibilities for building proper subsampling and algebraic con dence covers are given. Relation of the generating function for groups of Bn type to the generating function for the number partition of an integer into at most n distinct parts (see G.H. Hardy and S. Ramanujan [4]) will be given.
