Analysis of Reference Ranges of Total Serum Protein in Namibia: Clinical Implications
Proteomes, 2020 A reference range is an essential part of clinical laboratory test interpretation and patient care. The levels of total serum protein (TSP) are measured in sera to assess nutritional, liver, and kidney disorders.

Non-parametric manifold learning
Electronic Journal of StatisticsWe introduce an estimator for distances in a compact Riemannian manifold based on graph Laplacian estimates of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We upper bound the error in the estimate of manifold distances, or more precisely an estimate of a spectrally truncated variant of manifold distance of interest in non-commutative geometry (cf.

Non-Parametric Maximum Likelihood Density Estimation and Simulation-Based Minimum Distance Estimators [PDF]
, 2010 Indirect inference estimators (i.e., simulation-based minimum distance estimators) in a parametric model that are based on auxiliary non-parametric maximum likelihood density estimators are shown to be asymptotically normal.

Estimation of indirect reference intervals for serum thyrotropin using hospital records
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 Background: Reference intervals of any biochemical analyte serve as an invaluable tool in clinical decision making. The IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) guidelines for determining these values are not feasible in some hospital ...

Non Parametric Models with Instrumental Variables [PDF]
This paper gives a survey of econometric models characterized by a relation between observable and unobservable random elements where these unobservable terms are assumed to be independent of another set of observable variables called instrumental ...

Non-parametric specification testing of non-nested econometric models [PDF]
, 1994 We consider the non-nested testing prqblem of non-parametric regressions. We show that, when the regression functions are unknown under both the null and the alternative hypotheses, an extension of the J-test procedure of Davidson and Mackinnon (1981 ...
