Sharp Oracle Inequalities for Aggregation of Affine Estimators [PDF]

, 2012
We consider the problem of combining a (possibly uncountably infinite) set of affine estimators in non-parametric regression model with heteroscedastic Gaussian noise.

Accuracy and Training Population Design for Genomic Selection on Quantitative Traits in Elite North American Oats

The Plant Genome, 2011
Genomic selection (GS) is a method to estimate the breeding values of individuals by using markers throughout the genome. We evaluated the accuracies of GS using data from five traits on 446 oat ( L.) lines genotyped with 1005 Diversity Array Technology (

Mechanism‐informed machine learning for individualized tacrolimus dose adjustment in the early post‐kidney transplant period

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Tacrolimus dosing in the early post‐kidney transplant period is challenging due to a narrow therapeutic index and substantial interindividual pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. This study aimed to develop and validate mechanism‐informed machine learning (ML) models to support individualized tacrolimus dosing during this critical period ...

A comparison of five methods to predict genomic breeding values of dairy bulls from genome-wide SNP markers

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009
Background Genomic selection (GS) uses molecular breeding values (MBV) derived from dense markers across the entire genome for selection of young animals. The accuracy of MBV prediction is important for a successful application of GS.

Applying the theory of planned behaviour to examine teachers' intentions to teach in inclusive classrooms and their inclusive practices

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Given the vital role of teachers in inclusive education, there has been growing interest in teacher‐related factors that influence their intentions to teach in inclusive classrooms and their inclusive practices. Based on Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour, we investigated the relationship between teachers’ affective attitudes towards ...

Disentangling the Effects of Firm‐Level Climate Risk and Capital Market Signalling: Evidence From Stock Price Informativeness

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of firm‐level climate risk on stock price informativeness (SPI) through the integrated lens of stakeholder–shareholder theory. Using a global unbalanced panel of 73,770 firm‐year observations across 38 countries (2000–2020), we find that higher carbon emissions significantly reduce SPI, reflecting increased ...

Environmental Performance Drivers: A Political Cost Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We contribute to the business strategy and the environment literature by examining the effect of political cost pressures on corporate environmental performance in the context of United Kingdom‐listed firms. Drawing on a sample of non‐financial firms from the FTSE All‐Share Index over a period of 10 years (2013–2022), we construct novel ...

Accuracy of genomic selection in biparental populations of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Crop Journal, 2016
Flax is an important economic crop for seed oil and stem fiber. Phenotyping of traits such as seed yield, seed quality, stem fiber yield, and quality characteristics is expensive and time consuming.

Does Politics Influence Environmental, Social, and Governance Disclosure? Empirical Evidence From US Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relations among firm political ideology, state political ideology, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure. It is the first study to simultaneously explore both individual‐ and state‐level influences on ESG disclosure.
