Copula‐based joint modelling of emergency department visits with time‐varying dependence
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Jointly modelling multiple correlated count time series is essential in health services research, where outcomes like emergency visits for mental health and substance use often evolve together. Ignoring these dependencies can obscure meaningful trends and limit the effectiveness of policy evaluation.

Vine copula knockoffs for variable selection in gene expression studies
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Identifying clinical and genetic markers is essential for stratifying cancer patients by survival outcomes and guiding personalized treatment strategies. However, gene expression studies often involve high‐dimensional predictors with mixed data types and complex dependence, which complicates reliable variable selection.

Homophily‐adjusted social influence estimation
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homophily and social influence are two key concepts of social network analysis. Distinguishing between these phenomena is difficult, and approaches to disambiguate the two have been primarily limited to longitudinal data analyses. In this study, we provide sufficient conditions for valid estimation of social influence through cross‐sectional ...

Moment bounds and central limit theorem for functions of Gaussian vectors
In this note, bounds for moments of functions of Gaussian vectors are proved, generalizing earlier results by Taqqu (Z. Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie verw. Gebite 40 (1977) 203) and Arcones (Ann. probab. 15 (4) (1994) 2243).

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this article, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem (CLT), and the functional central limit theorem (fCLT) of such measures when the concentration parameter a ...

Lasso for hierarchical polynomial models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The divisibility conditions implicit in a polynomial hierarchy suggest parameter constraints in regression. With this idea, we establish strong and weak hierarchies for both the lasso and relaxed lasso. Our proposal extends prior work on hierarchical lasso, which was mainly concerned with models of degree 2.

Learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models in ultrahigh dimensions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Motivated by the challenges of heterogeneity and high dimensionality in the analysis of modern data, we investigate continuous regularization methods for learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models (MoE‐GLM). Although there are foundational results about regularized estimators in a broad class of regression models including ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a progressive autoimmune cholestatic disease for which modelling death, with transplantation as a competing event, is clinically important. Cox proportional hazards (PH) models are widely used, but standard diagnostics detect lack of fit without distinguishing non‐PH from misspecified covariate functions ...

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...

A Geometric Characterization of Steady Laminar Flow
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the steady states of the Euler equations on the periodic channel or annulus. We show that if these flows are laminar (layered by closed non‐contractible streamlines which foliate the domain), then they must be either parallel or circular flows.
