Exploring the Economic Convergence in the EU New Member States by Using Nonparametric Models [PDF]
This paper analyzes the process of real economic convergence in the New Member States (NMS) bein g formerly centrally planned economies, using nonparametric methods instead of conventional parametric measurement tools like beta and sigma models.

Clinical Obesity, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Excess adipose tissue has been extensively studied due to its role in the development of chronic diseases and inflammatory conditions. Obesity and visceral adipose tissue (VAT, fat stored within the abdominal cavity and around organs) are associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections and chronic low‐grade systemic ...

A rule-of-thumb for the variable bandwidth selection in kernel hazard rate estimation [PDF]
In nonparametric curve estimation the decision about the type of smoothing parameter is critical for the practical performance. The nearest neighbor bandwidth as introduced by Gefeller and Dette 1992 for censored data in survival analysis is specified by

Edgeworth Expansions for Spectral Density Estimates and Studentized Sample Mean - (Now published in Economic Theory, 17 (2001), pp.497-539. [PDF]
We establish valid Edgeworth expansions for the distribution of smoothed nonparametric spectral estimates, and of studentized versions of linear statistics such as the same mean, where the studentization employs such a nonparametric spectral estimate ...

Cystitis in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus): Clinical findings and treatment outcomes
Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 1, Page e30-e38, 4/11 July 2026.Abstract Background This retrospective study examined the incidence, diagnostic methods, bacterial isolates, treatments and outcomes associated with cystitis in guinea pigs presented at a single clinic between 2009 and 2022. Methods The clinic's medical records database was reviewed using easyvet software to identify cases eligible for inclusion in the

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Tree communities in a tropical coastal dune system exhibited distinct habitat differentiation across a sea‐to‐land disturbance gradient. These habitat differences were reflected in species composition, species diversity, and community‐weighted mean wood density.

Some nonparametric diagnostic Statistical procedures and their asymptotic behavior. [PDF]
In this thesis some new, nonparametric methods are introduced to explore uni- or bivariate data. First, we introduce the "shorth plot", a graphical method to depict the main features of one-dimensional probability distributions.
