Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of the survival function using current lifetime data
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract An issue when estimating the failure time survival function is how to set up a prevalent cohort study infrastructure to follow subjects after enrollment. This problem can be circumvented through the well‐known Grenander density estimator using current lifetime observations only.

Optimal subsampling for regression with mixed‐type predictors
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Subsampling has emerged as an appealing strategy to mitigate the computational and storage challenges imposed by large datasets. Recent subsampling techniques have shown notable computational gains for data dominated by numerical predictors. However, real‐world datasets frequently contain both numerical and categorical predictors.

Homophily‐adjusted social influence estimation
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homophily and social influence are two key concepts of social network analysis. Distinguishing between these phenomena is difficult, and approaches to disambiguate the two have been primarily limited to longitudinal data analyses. In this study, we provide sufficient conditions for valid estimation of social influence through cross‐sectional ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this article, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem (CLT), and the functional central limit theorem (fCLT) of such measures when the concentration parameter a ...

Extreme conditional quantile estimation for time series
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We consider the estimation of an extreme conditional quantile QY(1−p|x0)$$ {Q}_Y\left(1-p|{x}_0\right) $$ for a heavy‐tailed distribution in the case of a strictly stationary time series (Xt,Yt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t,{Y}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$. Here, QY(·|x0)$$ {Q}_Y\left(\cdotp |{x}_0\right) $$ denotes the conditional quantile function of

Lasso for hierarchical polynomial models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The divisibility conditions implicit in a polynomial hierarchy suggest parameter constraints in regression. With this idea, we establish strong and weak hierarchies for both the lasso and relaxed lasso. Our proposal extends prior work on hierarchical lasso, which was mainly concerned with models of degree 2.

Sparse maximum likelihood estimation of regression models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract For regression model selection and estimation, we study a small set of candidate models of maximum likelihood from which all information criteria such as the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) choose their models.

Mitigating measurement error in misspecified small area models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract In the framework of Small area estimation, we consider an area‐level model where a subset of covariates is measured with error. The extent of the error is assumed to be constant throughout the areas, and it is expressed by a scalar parameter γ$$ \gamma $$, which multiplies the deterministic covariance matrix of the estimator of the true ...

Learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models in ultrahigh dimensions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Motivated by the challenges of heterogeneity and high dimensionality in the analysis of modern data, we investigate continuous regularization methods for learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models (MoE‐GLM). Although there are foundational results about regularized estimators in a broad class of regression models including ...

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...
