Post‐selection inference for the Cox model with interval‐censored data
Abstract We develop a postselection inference method for the Cox proportional hazards model with interval‐censored data, which provides asymptotically valid p‐values and confidence intervals conditional on the model selected by lasso. The method is based on a pivotal quantity that is shown to converge to a uniform distribution under local parameters ...

Sequential Quantiles via Hermite Series Density Estimation
Sequential quantile estimation refers to incorporating observations into quantile estimates in an incremental fashion thus furnishing an online estimate of one or more quantiles at any given point in time.

Nonparametric Method for a Non-inferiority Test using Confidence Interval
Non-inferiority trials indicate whether the effect of an experimental treatment is not worse than an active control. Chen et al. (2006) and Kang (2010) proposed a test method for non-inferiority trials using confidence intervals.

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the use of nonparametric kernel density estimation (KDE) to estimate point‐based data density in spatial modeling using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The paper highlights challenges in selecting the appropriate settings for generating the best fitting KDE surfaces and validating their accuracy, as many GIS packages

Confidence intervals in monotone regression [PDF]
We construct bootstrap confidence intervals for a monotone regression function. It has been shown that the ordinary nonparametric bootstrap, based on the nonparametric least squares estimator (LSE) $\hat f_n$ is inconsistent in this situation. We show, however, that a consistent bootstrap can be based on the smoothed $\hat f_n$, to be called the SLSE ...

Nonparametric confidence intervals for tail dependence based on copulas
. We propose nonparametric asymptotic condence intervals for the upper and lower tail dependence coecients. These latter are obtained from condence bands established for the copula function itself and based upon three kernel-type estimators.

Balanced longitudinal data clustering with a copula kernel mixture model
Abstract Many common clustering methods cannot be used for clustering balanced multivariate longitudinal data in cases where the covariance of variables is a function of the time points. In this article, a copula kernel mixture model (CKMM) is proposed for clustering data of this type.

Regime‐Switching Density Forecasts Using Economists' Scenarios
ABSTRACT We propose an approach for generating macroeconomic density forecasts that incorporate information on multiple scenarios defined by experts. We adopt a regime‐switching framework in which sets of scenarios (“views”) are used as Bayesian priors on economic regimes. Predictive densities coming from different views are then combined by optimizing

Hidden Truncation Models: Theory and Applications
ABSTRACT This review article focuses on hidden truncation models, a versatile framework for modeling a wide range of random phenomena. These models are characterized by the condition that the primary study variable(s) are observable only when a concomitant variable (or a set of concomitant variables in the multivariate case) meets specific criteria ...
