Fast and scalable inference for spatial extreme value models
Abstract The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is a popular model for analyzing and forecasting extreme weather data. To increase prediction accuracy, spatial information is often pooled via a latent Gaussian process (GP) on the GEV parameters. Inference for GEV‐GP models is typically carried out using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods,

Composite Quantile Factor Model [PDF]
This paper introduces the method of composite quantile factor model for factor analysis in high-dimensional panel data. We propose to estimate the factors and factor loadings across multiple quantiles of the data, allowing the estimates to better adapt to features of the data at different quantiles while still modeling the mean of the data.

ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is challenged by endothelial dysfunction‐related syndromes like sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), capillary leak syndrome (CLS), and severe acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGvHD). We investigated soluble thrombomodulin (sTM), an endothelial damage marker, in relation to

Risk factor aggregation and stress testing [PDF]
Stress testing refers to the application of adverse financial or macroeconomic scenarios to a portfolio. For this purpose, financial or macroeconomic risk factors are linked with asset returns, typically via a factor model. We expand the range of risk factors by adapting dimension-reduction techniques from unsupervised learning, namely PCA and ...

Friction in the field: Milpa, missionary, and scales of refusal in 1960s highland Guatemala
Abstract This article takes a scalar view of “friction” (Tsing 2005) and “refusal” (Ortner 1995) between ethnography and the archive. The concept of friction was originally formulated in the context of a globalizing world, but friction's perception and experience are highly local.

On Factor Left Prime Factorization Problems for Multivariate Polynomial Matrices [PDF]
This paper is concerned with factor left prime factorization problems for multivariate polynomial matrices without full row rank. We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of factor left prime factorizations of a class of multivariate polynomial matrices, and then design an algorithm to compute all factor left prime ...

Engineering the Immune Response to Biomaterials
This paper reviews immune responses to biomaterials, stages of evolution in relation to managing these responses ranging from preventing to modulating them. It also discusses state‐of‐the‐art strategies to modulate these responses and modes of their delivery.

Factorizations of almost simple groups with a factor having many nonsolvable composition factors [PDF]
This paper classifies the factorizations of almost simple groups with a factor having at least two nonsolvable composition factors. This together with a previous classification result of the authors reduces the factorization problem of almost simple groups to the case where both factors have a unique nonsolvable composition factor.

Blood Coagulation Factor IX: Structure, Function, and Regulation
ABSTRACT Blood coagulation factor IX plays a crucial role in the intrinsic pathway of coagulation by generating factor Xa, ultimately leading to thrombin formation. Over the past 50 years, extensive research has deepened our understanding of the biology, physiology, pathology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics of factor IX.
