Testable likelihoods for beyond-the-standard model fits
Studying potential BSM effects at the precision frontier requires accurate transfer of information from low-energy measurements to high-energy BSM models.

Asymptotic Likelihood-Based Prediction Functions
This paper develops asymptotic prediction functions that approximate the shape of the density of future observations and correct for parameter uncertainty. The functions are based on extensions to a definition of predictive likelihood originally suggested by S. L. Lauritzen (1974) and D. Hinkley (1979).

SPATIAL CLUSTERING USING THE LIKELIHOOD FUNCTION
Clustering has been widely used as a tool to group multivariate observations that have similar characteristics. However, there have been few attempts at formulating a method to group similar multivariate observations while taking into account their spatial location.

The Analysis of Ranking Data Using Score Functions and Penalized Likelihood
In this paper, we consider different score functions in order summarize certain characteristics for one and two sample ranking data sets. Our approach is flexible and is based on embedding the nonparametric problem in a parametric framework.

New developments in the ROOT fitting classes [PDF]
The ROOT Mathematical and Statistical libraries have been recently improved both to increase their performance and to facilitate the modelling of parametric functions that can be used for performing maximum likelihood fits to data sets to estimate ...

Evaluation of likelihood functions
An expression is obtained for the likelihood function for the detection of a stochastic signal (diffusion process) in white noise. A stochastic differential equation is then obtained for the evolution of the likelihood function and the coefficients of this differential equation are related to a corresponding nonlinear filtering problem. Some extensions

Copula cosmology: Constructing a likelihood function [PDF]
To estimate cosmological parameters from a given dataset, we need to construct a likelihood function, which sometimes has a complicated functional form. We introduce the copula, a mathematical tool to construct an arbitrary multivariate distribution function from one-dimensional marginal distribution functions with any given dependence structure. It is

The connection between quasi-likelihood functions, exponential family models and nonlinear weighted least squares is examined. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the parameter estimates are discussed under second moment assumptions. The parameter estimates are shown to satisfy a property of asymptotic optimality similar in spirit to, but more ...

Occupational stress and body composition of hospital workers: a follow-up study
This study sought to analyze the influence of occupational stress on the body composition of hospital workers after one year of follow-up. This prospective cohort study included 218 workers from one of the leading private hospitals in the municipality of

Spatially multi-scale dynamic factor modeling via sparse estimation
In many spatio-temporal data, their spatial variations have inherent global and local structures. The spatially continuous dynamic factor model (SCDFM) decomposes the spatio-temporal data into a small number of spatial and temporal variations, where the ...
