Random regression analyses using B-spline functions to model growth of Nellore cattle

open access: yesAnimal, 2012
The objective of this study was to estimate (co)variance components using random regression on B-spline functions to weight records obtained from birth to adulthood.

Genetic evaluation and selection response for growth in meat-type quail through random regression models using B-spline functions and Legendre polynomials

open access: yesAnimal, 2018
The objective was to estimate (co)variance functions using random regression models (RRM) with Legendre polynomials, B-spline function and multi-trait models aimed at evaluating genetic parameters of growth traits in meat-type quail.

Bivariate covariance functions of Pólya type

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 2023
We provide sufficient conditions of Pólya type which guarantee the positive definiteness of a $2\times 2$-matrix-valued function in $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$. Several bivariate covariance models have been proposed in literature, where all components of the covariance matrix are of the same parametric family, such as the bivariate Matérn model ...

Cross-Covariance Functions for Multivariate Geostatistics

open access: yes, 2015
Continuously indexed datasets with multiple variables have become ubiquitous in the geophysical, ecological, environmental and climate sciences, and pose substantial analysis challenges to scientists and statisticians.

Comparison and anti-concentration bounds for maxima of Gaussian random vectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Slepian and Sudakov-Fernique type inequalities, which compare expectations of maxima of Gaussian random vectors under certain restrictions on the covariance matrices, play an important role in probability theory, especially in empirical process and ...

Selecting the derivative of a functional covariate in scalar-on-function regression

open access: yesStatistics and Computing, 2022
This paper presents tests to formally choose between regression models using different derivatives of a functional covariate in scalar-on-function regression. We demonstrate that for linear regression, models using different derivatives can be nested within a model that includes point-impact effects at the end-points of the observed functions ...

Smoothing and mean-covariance estimation of functional data with a Bayesian hierarchical model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Functional data, with basic observational units being functions (e.g., curves, surfaces) varying over a continuum, are frequently encountered in various applications.

Conformal covariant correlation functions

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 1972
The general constraints of “full conformal symmetry”, on n-point correlation functions are discussed. An identity for the three-point correlation function is derived from conformal symmetry, which allows to derive an integral representation for any “irreducible” conformal graph.
