摘要:In this article, we propose a new metric, the so-called martingale difference correlation, to measure the departure of conditional mean independence between a scalar response variable V and a vector predictor variable U. Our metric is a natural extension of distance correlation proposed by Szekely, Rizzo, and Bahirov, which is used to measure the dependence between V and U. The martingale difference correlation and its empirical counterpart inherit a number of desirable features of distance co...

摘要:We develop a Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling framework for replicated count responses in dose-response settings. We explore this methodology for modeling and risk assessment in developmental toxicity studies, where the primary objective is to determine the relationship between the level of exposure to a toxic chemical and the probability of a physiological or biochemical response, or death. Data from these experiments typically involve features that cannot be captured by standard param...

摘要:In ultrahigh-dimensional data analysis, it is extremely challenging to identify important interaction effects, and a top concern in practice is computational feasibility. For a dataset with n observations and p predictors, the augmented design matrix including all linear and order-2 terms is of size n x (p(2) + 3p)/2. When p is large, say more than tens of hundreds, the number of interactions is enormous and beyond the capacity of standard machines and software tools for storage and analysis. ...

摘要:Doubly robust estimators are widely used in missing-data analysis. They provide double protection on estimation consistency against model misspecifications. However, they allow only a single model for the missingness mechanism and a single model for the data distribution, and the assumption that one of these two models is correctly specified is restrictive in practice. For regression analysis with possibly missing outcome, we propose an estimation method that allows multiple models for both th...

摘要:The intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) procedure is used worldwide to treat preterm newborn infants suffering from respiratory distress syndrome, which is caused by an insufficient amount of the chemical surfactant in the lungs. With INSURE, the infant is intubated, surfactant is administered via the tube to the trachea, and at completion the infant is extubated. This improves the infant's ability to breathe and thus decreases the risk of long-term neurological or motor disabilities. To...

摘要:In a recent article, Noh, El Ghouch, and Bouezmarni proposed a new semiparametric estimate of a regression function with a multivariate predictor, which is based on a specification of the dependence structure between the predictor and the response by means of a parametric copula. This comment investigates the effect which occurs under misspecification of the parametric model. We demonstrate by means of several examples that even for a one or two-dimensional predictor the error caused by a wron...
