Inference for copula modeling of discrete data: a cautionary tale and some facts

Dependence Modeling, 2017
In this note, we elucidate some of the mathematical, statistical and epistemological issues involved in using copulas to model discrete data. We contrast the possible use of (nonparametric) copula methods versus the problematic use of parametric copula ...

SIGNIFICANT VARIABLE SELECTION AND AUTOREGRESSIVE ORDER DETERMINATION FOR TIME-SERIES PARTIALLY LINEAR MODELS [PDF]

, 2014
This paper is concerned with the regression coefficient and autoregressive order shrinkage and selection via the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty for a partially linear model with time-series errors.

On the history and use of some standard statistical models

, 2008
This paper tries to tell the story of the general linear model, which saw the light of day 200 years ago, and the assumptions underlying it. We distinguish three principal stages (ignoring earlier more isolated instances). The model was first proposed in

Benchmarking in cluster analysis: A white paper [PDF]

, 2018
To achieve scientific progress in terms of building a cumulative body of knowledge, careful attention to benchmarking is of the utmost importance. This means that proposals of new methods of data pre-processing, new data-analytic techniques, and new ...

Causal inference with textual data: A quasi-experimental design assessing the association between author metadata and acceptance among ICLR submissions from 2017 to 2022

Journal of Causal Inference
Many recent studies have probed status bias in the peer-review process of academic journals and conferences. In this article, we investigated the association between author metadata and area chairs’ final decisions (Accept/Reject) using our compiled ...

Prior distributions for objective Bayesian analysis [PDF]

, 2018
We provide a review of prior distributions for objective Bayesian analysis. We start by examining some foundational issues and then organize our exposition into priors for: i) estimation or prediction; ii) model selection; iii) highdimensional models ...
