The Calculus of M-Estimation in R with geex [PDF]
M-estimation, or estimating equation, methods are widely applicable for point estimation and asymptotic inference. In this paper, we present an R package that can find roots and compute the empirical sandwich variance estimator for any set of user ...

A selective review of statistical methods using calibration information from similar studies
In the era of big data, divide-and-conquer, parallel, and distributed inference methods have become increasingly popular. How to effectively use the calibration information from each machine in parallel computation has become a challenging task for ...

Gee-logit model corrected biplots with harvest effects on coffee beans grading
In a granulometric analysis of coffee beans with different categories of defects, the data can be organized in contingency tables, and when considering the discrimination by harvest, they may have a structure that suggest a more complex model, by means ...

Restricted Empirical Likelihood Estimation for Time Series Autoregressive Models
In this paper, we first illustrate the restricted empirical likelihood function, as an alternative to the usual empirical likelihood. Then, we use this quasi-empirical likelihood function as a basis for Bayesian analysis of AR(r) time series models.

Tracking of health-related physical fitness in adolescent girls: a 3-year follow-up study
Background Evidence has shown that higher levels of physical fitness (PF) in youth have beneficial effects on adult health-related outcomes. However, the tracking of separate PF components during adolescence has been less studied.

Investigation for periodic and almost periodic solutions of first-order ordinary differential equations [PDF]
Approaches to estimating for the number of periodic and almost periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations are considered. Conditions that allow determinating both the upper and lower bounds for these solutions are found.

Developing Students’ Intuition on the Impact of Correlated Outcomes
While correlated data methods (like random effect models and generalized estimating equations) are commonly applied in practice, students may struggle with understanding the reasons that standard regression techniques fail if applied to correlated ...

An epidemiological study of the predictors of multidrug resistance and methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus spp. isolated from canine specimens submitted to a diagnostic laboratory in Tennessee, USA [PDF]
Background Understanding drivers of multidrug resistance (MDR) and methicillin resistance, which have increased among canine staphylococcal isolates, is essential for guiding antimicrobial use practices.
