Generalized distributions of order k associated with success runs in Bernoulli trials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 13, Page 801-815, 2003., 2003
In a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, by counting multidimensional lattice paths in order to compute the probability of a first‐passage event, we derive and study a generalized negative binomial distribution of order k, type I, which extends to distributions of order k, the generalized negative binomial distribution of Jain and Consul (1971 ...

On construction of the smallest one-sided confidence interval for the difference of two proportions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
For any class of one-sided $1-\alpha$ confidence intervals with a certain monotonicity ordering on the random confidence limit, the smallest interval, in the sense of the set inclusion for the difference of two proportions of two independent binomial ...

Causal effect on a target population: A sensitivity analysis to handle missing covariates

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2022
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the gold standard for estimating causal effect, but they may lack external validity when the population eligible to the RCT is substantially different from the target population.

Sequence alignment generation using intermediate sequence search for homology modeling

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Protein tertiary structure is important information in various areas of biological research, however, the experimental cost associated with structure determination is high, and computational prediction methods have been developed to facilitate a more ...

A practical illustration of the importance of realistic individualized treatment rules in causal inference

open access: yes, 2007
The effect of vigorous physical activity on mortality in the elderly is difficult to estimate using conventional approaches to causal inference that define this effect by comparing the mortality risks corresponding to hypothetical scenarios in which all ...

Multiple testing procedures under confounding

open access: yes, 2008
While multiple testing procedures have been the focus of much statistical research, an important facet of the problem is how to deal with possible confounding. Procedures have been developed by authors in genetics and statistics.

Tree-based conditional copula estimation

open access: yesDependence Modeling
This article proposes a regression tree procedure to estimate conditional copulas. The associated algorithm determines classes of observations based on covariate values and fits a simple parametric copula model on each class.

Simulation study on the impact of measurement errors in hierarchical Bayesian semi-parametric models

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
This study examines the impact of measurement errors on parameter estimates within hierarchical Bayesian semiparametric (HBS) models, with a focus on the Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model as a case study.

Relative frequencies in multitype branching processes

open access: yes, 2009
This paper considers the relative frequencies of distinct types of individuals in multitype branching processes. We prove that the frequencies are asymptotically multivariate normal when the initial number of ancestors is large and the time of ...
