Robustness versus efficiency for nonparametric correlation measures. [PDF]
Nonparametric correlation measures at the Kendall and Spearman correlation are widely used in the behavioral sciences. These measures are often said to be robust, in the sense of being resistant to outlying observations.

Gαi1/3 Is a Novel Regulatory Target for RANKL Signal Transduction and Osteoporosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Osteoporosis, characterized by progressive bone loss and increased fracture risk, is a growing concern as the population ages. Current treatments, though advanced, remain limited, underscoring the necessity for novel therapeutic targets. Recent studies have shown that the immune system plays a key role in osteoporosis, with osteoclasts driving

Next Stop: Restructuring?: A Nonparametric Efficiency Analysis of German Public Transport Companies [PDF]
In this paper, we present a nonparametric comparative efficiency analysis of 179 communal public transport bus companies in Germany (1990-2004). We apply both deterministic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and bootstrapping to test the robustness of our ...

Nonparametric robust function estimation for integrated diffusion processes
, 2016 This paper considers local M-estimation of the unknown drift and diffusion functions of integrated diffusion processes. We show that under appropriate conditions, the proposed estimators for drift and diffusion functions in the integrated process are ...

Cooperative localization in mobile networks using nonparametric variants of belief propagation
Ad hoc networks, 2013 Of the many state-of-the-art methods for cooperative localization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), only very few adapt well to mobile networks. The main problems of the well-known algorithms, based on nonparametric belief propagation (NBP), are the ...

Pathogenic Role of FGFR3 Autoantibodies in Small Fiber Neuropathy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Autoantibodies against fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) are identified as pathogenic drivers of pain in small fiber neuropathy. By binding to sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia, FGFR3 autoantibodies activate MAPK signaling and induce hyperexcitability and mechanical hypersensitivity, establishing FGFR3 autoantibodies as a therapeutic ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies OCIAD2 as a critical regulator of cisplatin resistance in HNSCC. Mechanistically, OCIAD2 stabilizes integrin β1 through a direct physical interaction and facilitates its SNX17‐dependent endosomal recycling to lipid raft microdomains. Targeting OCIAD2 disrupts integrin β1 trafficking and significantly enhances cisplatin sensitivity,

A Nonparametric Search for Information Effects from USDA Reports
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2015 Two nonparametric tests are employed to investigate the potential information value of USDA crop and livestock reports. If daily returns on days that reports are released (announcement days) differ when compared to non-announcement days for a sizeable ...
