Minimum Average Deviance Estimation for Sufficient Dimension Reduction

, 2016
Sufficient dimension reduction reduces the dimensionality of data while preserving relevant regression information. In this article, we develop Minimum Average Deviance Estimation (MADE) methodology for sufficient dimension reduction.

Critical realism in empirical research: employing techniques from grounded theory methodology

International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2018
Whilst critical realism (CR) is becoming recognised as a significant meta-theory for the social sciences, there is little guidance on how to produce research which is consistent with its ontological and epistemological assumptions.

Ensemble bootstrap methodology for forecasting dynamic growth processes using differential equations: application to epidemic outbreaks

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Ensemble modeling aims to boost the forecasting performance by systematically integrating the predictive accuracy across individual models. Here we introduce a simple-yet-powerful ensemble methodology for forecasting the trajectory of dynamic ...

Event coincidence analysis for quantifying statistical interrelationships between event time series: on the role of flood events as possible triggers of epidemic outbreaks

, 2016
Studying event time series is a powerful approach for analyzing the dynamics of complex dynamical systems in many fields of science. In this paper, we describe the method of event coincidence analysis to provide a framework for quantifying the strength ...

Enhancing the scoping study methodology: a large, inter-professional team’s experience with Arksey and O’Malley’s framework

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2013
BackgroundScoping studies are increasingly common for broadly searching the literature on a specific topic, yet researchers lack an agreed-upon definition of and framework for the methodology.

Mediation Analysis Without Sequential Ignorability: Using Baseline Covariates Interacted with Random Assignment as Instrumental Variables [PDF]

, 2011
In randomized trials, researchers are often interested in mediation analysis to understand how a treatment works, in particular how much of a treatment's effect is mediated by an intermediated variable and how much the treatment directly affects the ...
