Relative frequencies in multitype branching processes

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 ...

An asymptotically normal test for the selective neutrality hypothesis

An important parameter in the study of population evolution is $\theta=4N\nu$, where $N$ is the effective population size and $\nu$ is the rate of mutation per locus per generation. Therefore, $\theta$ represents the mean number of mutations per site per

Generalized coarsened confounding for causal effects: a large-sample framework

Journal of Causal Inference
There has been widespread use of causal inference methods for the rigorous analysis of observational studies and to identify policy evaluations. In this article, we consider a class of generalized coarsened procedures for confounding.

Control charts for health care monitoring under intermittent out-of-control behavior [PDF]

Health care monitoring typically concerns attribute data with very low failure rates. Efficient control charts then signal if the waiting time till r (e.g. r≤5) failures is too small.

Solving the 100 Swiss Francs Problem

Sturmfels offered 100 Swiss Francs in 2005 to a conjecture, which deals with a special case of the maximum likelihood estimation for a latent class model.

Beyond conditional averages: Estimating the individual causal effect distribution

Journal of Causal Inference
In recent years, the field of causal inference from observational data has emerged rapidly. The literature has focused on (conditional) average causal effect estimation.

Improved binomial charts for monitoring high-quality processes [PDF]

For processes concerning attribute data with (very) small failure rate p, often negative binomial control charts are used. The decision whether to stop or continue is made each time r failures have occurred, for some r≥1.

A diagnostic to find and help combat stochastic positivity issues – with a focus on continuous treatments

Journal of Causal Inference
The positivity assumption is central in the identification of a causal effect. Especially its stochastic variant is an issue many applied researchers face.

Analysing and Monitoring Surveillance Data of Mumps in Bulgaria [PDF]

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62P10.This paper aims to present the applicability of the Bayesian methodology for monitoring surveillance data collected for vaccine-preventable diseases, like mumps, measles and possibly others.
