Bootstraping financial time series [PDF]
It is well known that time series of returns are characterized by volatility clustering and excess kurtosis. Therefore, when modelling the dynamic behavior of returns, inference and prediction methods, based on independent and/or Gaussian observations ...

Uncertainty Quantification for Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Without Additional Datasets
ABSTRACT Purpose Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is subject to physiological noise, thermal noise, and signal corruption, which cause errors in diffusion measures. While a larger dataset can be decimated to investigate the general precision of measures from fitting smaller datasets, uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods for fitting entire ...

A jackknife variance estimator for self-weighted two-stage samples
Self-weighted two-stage sampling designs are popular in practice as they simplify field-work. It is common in practice to compute variance estimates only from the first sampling stage, neglecting the second stage.

Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

Global Population Structure and Dynamics of Wheat Powdery Mildew
ABSTRACT The global movement of pests and pathogens can often be traced to human migratory activities that include the movement of agricultural crops. The causal agent of wheat powdery mildew, the ascomycete fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (B. graminis f. sp.

The Surprising Bias of PPML Estimates of Structural Gravity Models With Two‐Way Fixed Effects
ABSTRACT The previous literature has shown that the Poisson Pseudo‐Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator provides consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimates of the parameters of structural gravity models with two‐way fixed effects, although their standard errors need correction.

Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma
Abstract Paleosecular variation provides a statistical test of long‐term geomagnetic field morphology, but its behavior across Precambrian polarity regimes remains poorly constrained. We compile a virtual geomagnetic pole dispersion data set spanning 1130–1070 Ma and apply nonlinear Model G fitting to evaluate field structure across the interval ...

A Nonparametric Method for the Derivation of α/β Ratios from the Effect of Fractionated Irradiations [PDF]
Multifractionation isoeffect data are commonly analysed under the assumption that cell survival determines the observed tissue or tumour response, and that it follows a linear-quadratic dose dependence.

Negatively charged boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride promise near‐surface quantum sensing, but their internal spin transition rates are only partly understood. This work directly measures the defect's singlet‐state lifetime, 15(3) ns, using a nanosecond rise‐time dual‐pulse photoluminescence‐recovery method, and shows that high laser ...

Genomic Variation and Population Structure of Portuguese Native Dog Breeds
ABSTRACT The presence of dogs in Portugal is confirmed by zooarchaeological evidence dating to at least 7600 years ago. The 11 native dog breeds that exist in this territory are therefore the end‐product of a complex evolutionary process. This study characterises the genomic diversity and population structure of 10 native breeds based on whole‐genome ...
