By means of two simple convexity arguments we are able to develop a general method for proving consistency and asymptotic normality of estimators that are defined by minimisation of convex criterion functions. This method is then applied to a fair range of different statistical estimation problems, including Cox regression, logistic and Poisson regression, least absolute deviation regression outside model conditions, and pseudo-likelihood estimation for Markov chains. Our paper has two aims. The first is to exposit the method itself, which in many cases, under reasonable regularity conditions, leads to new proofs that are simpler than the traditional proofs. Our second aim is to exploit the method to its limits for logistic regression and Cox regression, where we seek asymptotic results under as weak regularity conditions as possible. For Cox regression in particular we are able to weaken previously published regularity conditions substantially.

  1. Change-Point Detection for Object-valued Time Series

    stat.ME 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A tuning-parameter-free self-normalized test detects changes in the marginal distribution of object-valued time series under weak dependence, with first nonparametric consistency results for multiple change-point esti...

  2. Design-Based Prediction-Powered Inference for Spatial Data

    stat.ME 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Design-based prediction-powered inference for spatial data with misspecified sampling weights leaves a non-vanishing spatial remainder, so coverage can fall as labels accumulate.

  3. Robust Inference for Convex Pairwise Difference Estimators

    econ.EM 2025-10 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Convex pairwise difference estimators can be made robust to bandwidth choice via small-bandwidth Gaussian approximations, generalized jackknife debiasing, and a bootstrap run at a rescaled bandwidth.

  4. Online survival analysis with quantile regression

    math.ST 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A renewable online estimator for censored quantile regression is built from a quadratic surrogate of the martingale objective and shown asymptotically equivalent to the full-data oracle estimator.

    A marked non-homogeneous Poisson process with non-homogeneous Poisson processes as marks, with maximum likelihood inference, is proposed and applied to micro-level claims reserving.
