摘要:The concept of large margins have been recognized as an important principle in analyzing learning methodologies, including boosting, neural networks, and support vector machines (SVMs). However, this concept alone is not adequate for learning in nonseparable cases. We propose a learning methodology, called psi-learning, that is derived from a direct consideration of generalization errors. We provide a theory for psi-learning and show that it essentially attains the optimal rates of convergence...

摘要:Medical advances continue to provide new and potentially better means for detecting disease. Such is true in cancer, for example, where biomarkers are sought for early detection and where improvements in imaging methods may pick up the initial functional and molecular changes associated with cancer development. In other binary classification tasks, computational algorithms such as neural networks, support vector machines, and evolutionary algorithms have been applied to areas as diverse as cre...

摘要:Multiple imputation replaces an incomplete dataset with m > 1 simulated complete versions that are analyzed separately by standard methods. We present a natural extension of multiple imputation for handling the dual problems of nonresponse and response error. This extension, which we call multiple edit/multiple imputation (MEMI), replaces an observed dataset containing missing values and errors with m > 1 simulated versions of the ideal dataset that is complete and error-free. These ideal data...

摘要:The aim of linkage analysis is to map the position of a gene contributing to an inheritable disease. The statistical model contains the disease allele frequency and penetrance parameters. Here I investigate the inheritance distribution, that is, the conditional distribution of the inheritance vector given phenotypes at the disease locus. Based on this, the likelihood and likelihood score function of Whittemore can be defined. As a result, a general semiparametric methodology of choosing score ...

摘要:Historical records of weather, such as monthly precipitation and temperatures from the last century, are an invaluable database to use in studying changes and variability in climate. These data also provide the starting point for understanding and modeling the relationship among climate, ecological processes, and human activities. However, these data are observed irregularly over space and time. The basic statistical problem is to create a complete data record that is consistent with the obser...

摘要:The precarious state of the educational system in the inner cities of the United States, as well as its potential causes and solutions, have been popular topics of debate in recent years. Part of the difficulty in resolving this debate is the lack of solid empirical evidence regarding the true impact of educational initiatives. The efficacy of so-called school choice programs has been a particularly. contentious issue. A current multimillion dollar program,,the School Choice Scholarship Founda...
