Markov morphisms: a combined copula and mass transportation approach to multivariate quantiles
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Our purpose is both conceptual and practical. On the one hand, we discuss the question which properties are basic ingredients of a general conceptual notion of a multivariate quantile. We propose and argue that the object “quantile” should be defined as a Markov morphism which carries over similar algebraic, ordering and topological properties as known for quantile functions on the real line. On the other hand, we also propose a practical quantile Markov morphism which combines a copula standardization and the recent optimal mass transportation method of Chernozhukov et al.(2017). Its empirical counterpart has the advantages of being a bandwidth-free, monotone invariant, a.s. consistent transformation. The proposed approach gives a general and unified framework to quantiles and their corresponding depth areas, for both a continuous or a discrete multivariate distribution.

On two-parameters generalization of Fibonacci numbers
In this paper we introduce a new two-parameters generalization of Fibonacci numbers – distance s-Fibonacci numbers Fs(k, n). We generalize the known distance Fibonacci numbers by adding an additional integer parameter s....

The classical secretary problem has been generalized over the years into several directions. In this paper we confine our interest to those generalizations which have to do with the more general problem of stopping on a...
