Longitudinal Scalar-on-Function Regression with Application to Tractography Data [PDF]
, 2012 We propose a class of estimation techniques for scalar-on-function regression in longitudinal studies where both outcomes, such as test results on motor functions, and functional predictors, such as brain images, may be observed at multiple visits.

So near and yet so far: Harmonic radar reveals reduced homing ability of nosema infected honeybees [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogens may gain a fitness advantage through manipulation of the behaviour of their hosts. Likewise, host behavioural changes can be a defence mechanism, counteracting the impact of pathogens on host fitness.

Generalized fiducial inference for normal linear mixed models [PDF]
, 2012 While linear mixed modeling methods are foundational concepts introduced in any statistical education, adequate general methods for interval estimation involving models with more than a few variance components are lacking, especially in the unbalanced ...

High-dimensional genome-wide association study and misspecified mixed model analysis
, 2014 We study behavior of the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimator under a misspecified linear mixed model (LMM) that has received much attention in recent gnome-wide association studies.

Clustering in Additive Mixed Models with Approximate Dirichlet Process Mixtures using the EM Algorithm [PDF]
, 2013 We consider additive mixed models for longitudinal data with a nonlinear time trend. As random effects distribution an approximate Dirichlet process mixture is proposed that is based on the truncated version of the stick breaking presentation of the ...

A multi-trait multi-environment QTL mixed model with an application to drought and nitrogen stress trials in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]
Despite QTL mapping being a routine procedure in plant breeding, approaches that fully exploit data from multi-trait multi-environment (MTME) trials are limited.

Perspectives from agriculture: advances in livestock breeding - implications for aquaculture genetics [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish.

Maximum Lilkelihood and Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for a Class of Gaussian Markov Random Fields [PDF]
This work describes a Gaussian Markov random field model that includes several previously proposed models, and studies properties of their maximum likelihood (ML) and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimators in a special case.

Out of Sample Estimation for Small Areas using Area Level Data
, 2005 A Fay-Herriot type model with independent area effects is often assumed when small area estimates based on area level data are required. However, under this approach out of sample areas are limited to synthetic estimates.
