Single-index models for extreme value index regression
, 2022 Abstract Since the extreme value index (EVI) controls the tail behaviour of the distribution function, the estimation of EVI is a very important topic in extreme value theory. Recent developments in the estimation of EVI along with covariates have been in the context of nonparametric regression.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Ultimate 100m World Records Through Extreme-Value Theory [PDF]
We use extreme-value theory to estimate the ultimate world records for the 100m running, for both men and women. For this aim we collected the fastest personal best times set between January 1991 and June 2008.

Space Weather, 2020 In this paper extreme value theory (EVT) has been used to estimate the return levels for geomagnetic activity based on the aa index. The aa index is the longest, continuously recorded, geomagnetic data set (from 1868 to present). This long, 150‐year data

Improving the bias of a pseudo-maximum likelihood estimate of the extreme value index by k-records
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2023 The paper focusses on the estimation of the extreme value index in terms of k-records based on a maximum likelihood approach, which is suggested recently by Louzaoui and El Arrouchi (J Probab Stat, 2020).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Extreme value theory in emerging markets [PDF]
Ekonomski Anali, 2010 This paper investigates the performance of extreme value theory (EVT) with the daily stock index returns of four different emerging markets. The research covers the sample representing the Serbian (BELEXline), Croatian (CROBEX), Slovenian (SBI20), and ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Nonparametric smoothing in extreme value theory [PDF]
, 2010 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 137-138).This work investigates the modelling of non-stationary sample extremes using a roughness penalty approach, in which smoothed natural cubic splines are fitted to the location and scale parameters of the
