Bayesian modeling of dynamic extreme values: extension of generalized extreme value distributions with latent stochastic processes [PDF]

Journal of Applied Statistics, 2016
ABSTRACTThis paper develops Bayesian inference of extreme value models with a flexible time-dependent latent structure. The generalized extreme value distribution is utilized to incorporate state variables that follow an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) process with Gumbel-distributed innovations.

Evaluation of the best fit distribution for partial duration series of daily rainfall in Madinah, western Saudi Arabia [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2014
Rainfall frequency analysis is an essential tool for the design of water related infrastructure. It can be used to predict future flood magnitudes for a given magnitude and frequency of extreme rainfall events.

Reference Priors for the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution

Statistica Sinica
Summary: We derive a collection of reference prior distributions for a Bayesian analysis under the three-parameter generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. These priors are based on an established formal definition of oninformativeness. They depend on the ordering of the three parameters, and we show that the GEV is unusual in that some orderings ...

Misperception of Body Weight After Childhood Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Misperception of body weight can negatively impact the weight management efforts of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). Both being overweight or underweight are associated with chronic health conditions commonly observed in CCS; therefore, accurate weight perception is critical for reducing long‐term health risks.

Flood Frequency Analyses over Different Basin Scales in the Blue Nile River Basin, Ethiopia

Hydrology, 2020
The frequency and intensity of flood quantiles and its attendant damage in agricultural establishments have generated a lot of issues in Ethiopia. Moreover, precise estimates of flood quantiles are needed for efficient design of hydraulic structures ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).
