Asymptotically Optimal Sequential Estimation of the Mean Based on Inclusion Principle
A large class of problems in sciences and engineering can be formulated as the general problem of constructing random intervals with pre-specified coverage probabilities for the mean. Wee propose a general approach for statistical inference of mean values based on accumulated observational data. We show that the construction of such random intervals can be accomplished by comparing the endpoints of random intervals with confidence sequences for the mean. Asymptotic results are obtained for such sequential methods.

Asymptotically Optimal Procedures for Sequential Joint Detection and Estimation
We investigate the problem of jointly testing multiple hypotheses and estimating a random parameter of the underlying distribution in a sequential setup. The aim is to jointly infer the true hypothesis and the true param…
Optimal sequential tests yield log-optimal e-processes
It has been recently shown that e-processes are sufficient for sequential testing in the following sense: every level-$α$ sequential test can be obtained by thresholding an e-process at $1/α$. However, in the above resul…
Dynamic Pricing with Demand Covariates
We consider a firm that sells products over $T$ periods without knowing the demand function. The firm sequentially sets prices to earn revenue and to learn the underlying demand function simultaneously. A natural heurist…
Matrix Factorization for Practical Continual Mean Estimation Under User-Level Differential Privacy
We study continual mean estimation, where data vectors arrive sequentially and the goal is to maintain accurate estimates of the running mean. We address this problem under user-level differential privacy, which protects…
Nearly second-order asymptotic optimality of sequential change-point detection with one-sample updates
Sequential change-point detection when the distribution parameters are unknown is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning. When the post-change parameters are unknown, we consider a set of detection proc…
