Importance Sampling and its Optimality for Stochastic Simulation Models

open access: yes, 2019
We consider the problem of estimating an expected outcome from a stochastic simulation model. Our goal is to develop a theoretical framework on importance sampling for such estimation. By investigating the variance of an importance sampling estimator, we

Non‐Invasive Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by Breath

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 4, Issue 7, July 2025.
The use of sensor technologies for the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples. By combining gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and electronic nose (eNose) platforms, specific VOC patterns associated with HCM are detected and analyzed.

Constraining the Black Hole Mass Spectrum with LISA Observations II: Direct comparison of detailed models

open access: yes, 2010
A number of scenarios have been proposed for the origin of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that are found in the centres of most galaxies. Many such scenarios predict a high-redshift population of massive black holes (MBHs), with masses in the range

Effect of Mainshock Selection, Earthquake Catalog and Definition on Foreshock Rate Estimates in Southern California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Estimates of the percentage of moderate to large crustal earthquakes (mainshocks) that have foreshocks (the foreshock rate) vary widely: Recent estimates in Southern California using an enhanced catalog range between 19% and 72%. Enhanced catalogs seem to reveal more foreshocks, possibly providing new constraints on nucleation mechanisms, but ...

The quantile‐based classifier with variable‐wise parameters

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Quantile‐based classifiers can classify high‐dimensional observations by minimizing a discrepancy of an observation to a class based on suitable quantiles of the within‐class distributions, corresponding to a unique percentage for all variables.

Semiparametric models [PDF]

open access: yes
Much empirical research is concerned with estimating conditional mean, median, or hazard functions. For example, labor economists are interested in estimating the mean wages of employed individuals conditional on characteristics such as years of work ...

Nonparametric Instrumental Regressions with (Potentially Discrete) Instruments Independent of the Error Term

open access: yes, 2019
We consider a nonparametric instrumental regression model with continuous endogenous regressor where instruments are fully independent of the error term. This assumption allows us to extend the reach of this model to cases where the instrumental variable

A nonparametric model-based estimator for the cumulative distribution function of a right censored variable in a finite population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In survey analysis, the estimation of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) is of great interest: it allows for instance to derive quantiles estimators or other non linear parameters derived from the cdf.

Using Expectations Data to Study Subjective Income Expectations [PDF]

open access: yes
We have collected data on the one-year-ahead income expectations of members of American households in our Survey of Economic Expectations (SEE), a module of a national continuous telephone survey conducted at the University of Wisconsin.

Adjusted empirical likelihood estimation of the youden index and associated threshold for the bigamia model [PDF]

open access: yes
The Youden index is a widely used measure in the framework of medical diagnostic, where the effectiveness of a biomarker (screening marker or predictor) for classifying a disease status is studied.
