The OSCAR for Generalized Linear Models [PDF]
The Octagonal Selection and Clustering Algorithm in Regression (OSCAR) proposed by Bondell and Reich (2008) has the attractive feature that highly correlated predictors can obtain exactly the same coecient yielding clustering of predictors.

Best linear unbiased estimation for varying probability with and without replacement sampling
When sample survey data with complex design (stratification, clustering, unequal selection or inclusion probabilities, and weighting) are used for linear models, estimation of model parameters and their covariance matrices becomes complicated.

Causal influence in linear response models [PDF]
The intuition of causation is so fundamental that almost every research study in life sciences refers to this concept. However a widely accepted formal definition of causal influence between observables is still missing.

A Linear Mathematical Model of the Vocational Training Problem in a Company Using Neutrosophic Logic, Hyperfunctions, and SuperHyperFunction [PDF]
A mathematical model is a simplified representation of a practical, real-life system or a proposed idea for an executable system. Operations research methods have the ability to express the concepts of efficiency and scarcity in a well-defined ...

Worldsheet instantons and (0,2) linear models [PDF]
We study the stability of heterotic compactifications described by (0,2) gauged linear sigma models with respect to worldsheet instanton corrections to the space-time superpotential following the work of Beasley and Witten.

Log-mean linear models for binary data [PDF]
This paper introduces a novel class of models for binary data, which we call log-mean linear models. The characterizing feature of these models is that they are specified by linear constraints on the log-mean linear parameter, defined as a log-linear ...
