Functional Linear Mixed Models for Irregularly or Sparsely Sampled Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We propose an estimation approach to analyse correlated functional data which are observed on unequal grids or even sparsely. The model we use is a functional linear mixed model, a functional analogue of the linear mixed model.

Bayes factor between Student t and Gaussian mixed models within an animal breeding context

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2008
The implementation of Student t mixed models in animal breeding has been suggested as a useful statistical tool to effectively mute the impact of preferential treatment or other sources of outliers in field data. Nevertheless, these additional sources of

Posterior-based proposals for speeding up Markov chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is widely used for Bayesian inference in models of complex systems. Performance, however, is often unsatisfactory in models with many latent variables due to so-called poor mixing, necessitating the development of ...

Movement Patterns and Match Statistics in the National Rugby League Women's (NRLW) Premiership

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
As women's rugby league grows, the need for understanding the movement patterns of the sport is essential for coaches and sports scientists. The aims of the present study were to quantify the position-specific demographics, technical match statistics ...

Sparse Probit Linear Mixed Model

open access: yes, 2017
Linear Mixed Models (LMMs) are important tools in statistical genetics. When used for feature selection, they allow to find a sparse set of genetic traits that best predict a continuous phenotype of interest, while simultaneously correcting for various ...

A Mixed-Effects Location Scale Model for Dyadic Interactions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We present a mixed-effects location scale model (MELSM) for examining the daily dynamics of affect in dyads. The MELSM includes person and time-varying variables to predict the location, or individual means, and the scale, or within-person variances.

Mixed Model of Induced QCD

open access: yes, 1992
The problems with the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking in the induced QCD are analyzed. We compute the Wilson loops in the strong coupling phase, but we do not find the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking, for arbitrary potential.

Mixed Shock Models

open access: yesBernoulli, 2001
The author studies system lifetimes that are associated with a cumulative shock model as follows: The system fails when the cumulative damage exceeds some threshold, or when a single large shock occurs. \textit{H. Li} and the reviewer [Stochastic Processes Appl. 58, No. 2, 205-216 (1995; Zbl 0833.60088); Appl. Probab. 34, No.

Fence methods for mixed model selection

open access: yes, 2008
Many model search strategies involve trading off model fit with model complexity in a penalized goodness of fit measure. Asymptotic properties for these types of procedures in settings like linear regression and ARMA time series have been studied, but ...

Invited review: A review of some commonly used meta-analysis methods in dairy science research

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: Meta-analyses have become increasingly common, providing meaningful summaries of cumulative knowledge in the dairy science literature. Some of the corresponding meta-analytic techniques have been developed by knowledgeable dairy scientists, some of ...
