Authors Requadt R, Li H, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2510.05645. Abstract We investigate the asymptotic behavior of parametric Bayes estimators under a broad class of loss functions that extend beyond the classical translation-invariant setting. To this end, we develop a unified theoretical framework for loss functions exhibiting locally polynomial

Authors Groppe M, Niemöller L, Hundrieser S, Ventzke D, Blob A, Köster S, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2509.13970. Abstract We introduce a general framework for testing statistical hypotheses for probability measures supported on finite spaces, which is based on optimal transport (OT). These tests are inspired by the analysis

Authors Struleva M, Hundrieser S, Schuhmacher D, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2509.04225. Abstract We statistically analyze empirical plug-in estimators for unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) formalisms, focusing on the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance, between general intensity measures based on observations from spatio-temporal point processes. Specifically, we model the observations by two weakly

Authors Hüselitz A, Li H, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2503.05270. Abstract We consider the problem of sequential (online) estimation of a single change point in a piecewise linear regression model under a Gaussian setup. We demonstrate that certain CUSUM-type statistics attain the minimax optimal rates for localizing the change

Authors Hundrieser S, Manole T, Litskevich D, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2508.00824. Abstract We analyze the statistical problem of recovering an atomic signal, modeled as a discrete uniform distribution μ, from a binned Poisson convolution model. This question is motivated, among others, by super-resolution laser microscopy applications, where precise

Authors Li H, Liu Z, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2503.03020. Abstract Modern large-scale data analysis increasingly faces the challenge of achieving computational efficiency as well as statistical accuracy, as classical statistically efficient methods often fall short in the first regard. In the context of testing monotonicity of a regression

Authors Hundrieser S, Heinemann F, Klatt M, Struleva M, Munk A Journal Journal of Machine Learning Research Citation Journal of Machine Learning Research 26 (2025) 1-70. Abstract We analyze statistical properties of plug-in estimators for unbalanced optimal transport quantities between finitely supported measures in different prototypical sampling models. Specifically, our
