摘要：The prediction approach to finite population inference has received considerable attention in recent years. Under this approach, the finite population is assumed to be a realization from a superpopulation described by a known probability model, usually a linear model. The prediction approach is often criticized for its lack of robustness against model misspecification. In this article we revisit this important issue and introduce a new robust prediction approach in which the superpopulation mo...

摘要：Novel periodic extensions of dynamic long-memory regression models with autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic errors are considered for the analysis of daily electricity spot prices. The parameters of the model with mean and variance specifications are estimated simultaneously by the method of approximate maximum likelihood. The methods are implemented for time series of 1,200-4,400 daily price observations in four European power markets. Apart from persistence, heteroscedasticity, and ex...

摘要：One objective of allelic-loss studies is to identify chromosomal locations that may harbor tumor-suppressor genes. An instability-selection model has been developed for allelic-loss data in which the loss events are available for each tumor and each marker (allelotypes). In performing pooled analyses of published allelic-loss experiments, however, only summaries of the frequency of allelic loss (EAL) may be available. The instability-selection model can be applied to these summary data, but na...

摘要：The support vector machine (SVM) has been widely applied for classification problems in both machine learning and statistics. Despite its popularity, however, SVM has some drawbacks in certain situations. In particular, the SVM classifier can be very sensitive to outliers in the training sample. Moreover, the number of support vectors (SVs) can be very large in many applications. To circumvent these drawbacks, we propose the robust truncated hinge loss SVM (RSVM), which uses a truncated hinge ...

摘要：In multicenter studies, one often needs to make inference about a population survival curve based on multiple, possibly heterogeneous survival data from individual centers. We investigate a flexible Bayesian method for estimating a population survival curve based on a semiparametric multiresolution hazard model that can incorporate covariates and account for center heterogeneity. The method yields a smooth estimate of the survival curve for multiple resolutions or time scales of interest. The ...

摘要：Model search in regression with very large numbers of candidate predictors raises challenges for both model specification and computation, for which standard approaches such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are often infeasible or ineffective. We describe a novel shotgun stochastic search (SSS) approach that explores interesting regions of the resulting high-dimensional model spaces and quickly identifies regions of high posterior probability over models. We describe algorithmic and ...

摘要：Microarray technology allows a scientist to study genomewide patterns of gene expression. Thousands of individual genes are measured with a relatively small number of replications, which poses challenges to traditional statistical methods. In particular, the gene-specific estimators of variances are not reliable and gene-by-gene tests have Sow powers. In this article we propose a family of shrinkage estimators for variances raised to a fixed power. We derive optimal shrinkage parameters under ...
