Bootstrap Confidence Intervals For Local Likelihood, Local Estimating Equations And Varying Coefficient Models [PDF]
Four powerful generalizations of the usual local polynomial nonparametric regression methodology are (a) local polynomial methods in generalized linear models; (b) varying coefficient generalized linear models, where the possibly multivariate ...

Estimating Equations for Density Dependent Markov Jump Processes
Reaction networks are important tools for modeling a variety of biological phenomena across a wide range of scales, for example as models of gene regulation within a cell or infectious disease outbreaks in a population. Hence, calibrating these models to

Global sensitivity analysis for stochastic simulators based on generalized lambda surrogate models [PDF]
Global sensitivity analysis aims at quantifying the impact of input variability onto the variation of the response of a computational model. It has been widely applied to deterministic simulators, for which a set of input parameters has a unique ...

On generalised estimating equations for vector regression [PDF]
Generalized estimating equations (GEE; Liang & Zeger 1986) for general vector regression settings are examined. When the response vectors are of mixed type (e.g. continuous-binary response pairs), the GEE approach is a semiparametric alternative to full-likelihood copula methods, and is closely related to the mean-covariance estimation equations ...
