A taxonomy of estimator consistency on discrete estimation problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We describe a four-level hierarchy mapping both all discrete estimation problems and all estimators on these problems, such that the hierarchy describes each estimator's consistency guarantees on each problem class. We show that no estimator is consistent for all estimation problems, but that some estimators, such as Maximum A Posteriori, are ...

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Development of adaptive sideslip angle estimator
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2016 The sideslip angle is used to control a vehicle for safety, however, it is hard to estimate the sideslip angle. In many researches, the estimator needs many unattainable variables, such as yaw inertia or cornering stiffness, to estimate the sideslip ...

Synthetic estimation for the complier average causal effect [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We propose an improved estimator of the complier average causal effect (CACE). Researchers typically choose a presumably-unbiased estimator for the CACE in studies with noncompliance, when many other lower-variance estimators may be available. We propose a synthetic estimator that combines information across all available estimators, leveraging the ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Estimation in dynamic panel data models: Improving on the performance of the standard GMM estimator
, 2000 This chapter reviews developments to improve on the poor performance of the standard GMM estimator for highly autoregressive panel series. It considers the use of the ‘system’ GMM estimator that relies on relatively mild restrictions on the initial ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Small area estimation in the case of nonesponse
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2009 In this paper the effect of model and nonresponseadjustment on different types of estimators for the totals of small area domains is examined. The empirical results are based on Monte Carlo simulations with repeated samples drawn from a finite population

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The number of circulating tumor cells obtained from prostate cancer patients was increased approximately 5‐fold compared to regular CellSearch when processing 2 mL diagnostic leukapheresis material aliquots and increased by 44‐fold when processing 20 mL DLA aliquots using the flow enrichment target capture Halbach‐array.

A nonparametric super-efficient estimator of the average treatment effect [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Doubly robust estimators of causal effects are a popular means of estimating causal effects. Such estimators combine an estimate of the conditional mean of the outcome given treatment and confounders (the so-called outcome regression) with an estimate of the conditional probability of treatment given confounders (the propensity score) to generate an ...
