摘要:Random graphs with given vertex degrees have been widely used as a model for many real-world complex networks. However, both statistical inference and analytic study of such networks present great challenges. In this article, we propose a new sequential importance sampling method for sampling networks with a given degree sequence. These samples can be used to approximate closely the null distributions of a number of test statistics involved in such networks and provide an accurate estimate of ...

摘要:Censored quantile regression offers a valuable complement to the traditional Cox proportional hazards model for survival analysis. Survival times tend to be right-skewed, particularly when there exists a substantial fraction of long-term survivors who are either cured or immune to the event of interest. For survival data with a cure possibility, we propose cure rate quantile regression under the common censoring scheme that survival times and censoring times are conditionally independent given...

摘要:We consider classification of functional data when the training curves are not observed on the same interval. Different types of classifier are suggested, one of which involves a new curve extension procedure. Our approach enables us to exploit the information contained in the endpoints of these intervals by incorporating it in an explicit but flexible way. We study asymptotic properties of our classifiers, and show that, in a variety of settings, they can even produce asymptotically perfect c...

摘要:Estimation of the number of hidden states is challenging in hidden Markov models. Motivated by the analysis of a specific type of cell adhesion experiments, a new framework based on a hidden Markov model and double penalized order selection is proposed. The order selection procedure is shown to be consistent in estimating the number of states. A modified expectation-maximization algorithm is introduced to efficiently estimate parameters in the model. Simulations show that the proposed framewor...
