Partial identification with categorical data and nonignorable missing outcomes

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonignorable missing outcomes are common in real‐world datasets and often require strong parametric assumptions to achieve identification. These assumptions can be implausible or untestable, and so we may wish to forgo them in favour of partially identified models that narrow the set of a priori possible values to an identification region.

Robust Empirical Bayes Estimation of the Elliptically Countoured Covariance Matrix

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Extension, 2011
Let S be the matrix of residual sum of square in linear model Y = Aβ + e, where the matrix of errors is distributed as elliptically contoured with unknown scale matrix Σ. For Stein loss function, L1(Σˆ , Σ) = tr(ΣΣˆ −1 )−log |ΣΣˆ −1 |−p, and squared

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Bridging Theory and Prediction: A Hybrid SEM and Machine Learning Approach to Optimize Lean Construction for Megaproject Sustainability in China

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction megaprojects, large‐scale, complex, and capital‐intensive, are particularly prone to inefficiencies, cost overruns, delays, and environmental degradation due to fragmented workflows, stakeholder misalignment, and resource intensity.

Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

A conditional Bayesian approach for testing independence in two-way contingency tables

open access: yesKuwait Journal of Science, 2013
Bayesian methods for exact small-sample analysis with categorical data in   contingency tables are considered. Point null hypotheses versus two-sided hypothesis are tested concerning log odds ratios in these tables with fixed row margins. The conditional
