Jackknife Variance Estimation for Hájek-Dominated Generalized U-Statistics

Abstract

We prove ratio-consistency of the jackknife variance estimator, and certain variants, for a broad class of generalized U-statistics whose variance is asymptotically dominated by their Hájek projection, with the classical fixed-order case recovered as a special instance. This Hájek projection dominance condition unifies and generalizes several criteria in the existing literature, placing the simple nonparametric jackknife on the same footing as the infinitesimal jackknife in the generalized setting. As an illustration, we apply our result to the two-scale distributional nearest-neighbor regression estimator, obtaining consistent variance estimates under substantially weaker conditions than previously required.

Distribution-on-Distribution Regression with Optimal Transport

Work in progress
Read summary

We study regression methods when both predictors and outcomes are distributions. Leveraging tools from optimal transport, we work in the geometry of Wasserstein space rather than forcing a linear structure via functional summaries. This geometry-aware approach yields more interpretable and often stronger results than standard linear techniques on functional representations alone. In economics, the framework helps analyze how multiple distributions—such as income and wealth—relate to and co-evolve with each other.
