A nonparametric Bayesian method of translating machine learning scores to probabilities in clinical decision support

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Probabilistic assessments of clinical care are essential for quality care. Yet, machine learning, which supports this care process has been limited to categorical results.

A loss function approach to model specification testing and its relative efficiency

open access: yes, 2013
The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test proposed by Fan, Zhang and Zhang [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 153-193] and Fan and Yao [Nonlinear Time Series: Nonparametric and Parametric Methods (2003) Springer] is a generally applicable nonparametric inference

Rates of contraction for posterior distributions in $\bolds{L^r}$-metrics, $\bolds{1\le r\le\infty}$

open access: yes, 2011
The frequentist behavior of nonparametric Bayes estimates, more specifically, rates of contraction of the posterior distributions to shrinking $L^r$-norm neighborhoods, $1\le r\le\infty$, of the unknown parameter, are studied. A theorem for nonparametric

On the Bernstein-von Mises phenomenon for nonparametric Bayes procedures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We continue the investigation of Bernstein-von Mises theorems for nonparametric Bayes procedures from [Ann. Statist. 41 (2013) 1999-2028]. We introduce multiscale spaces on which nonparametric priors and posteriors are naturally defined, and prove ...

Bias of the Entropy Estimator for Symmetric Bernoulli Measures and the Weak Metric

open access: yesМоделирование и анализ информационных систем, 2015
We consider symmetric Bernoulli measures and new weak metrics and obtain a closed-form expression of the entropy estimator bias.

Identifying Factors Influencing the Corrosion Rate of Steel Using Nonparametric Statistics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2012
Statistical techniques have made it possible to describe the behavior of certain phenomena. Nonetheless, given the difficulty in obtaining adequate data, it is common not to have random and homogeneous samples in order to conduct parametric statistical ...

The Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Variations of Temperature in the North –West of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesجغرافیا و توسعه, 2007
In this paper in order to recognize the spatio-temporal variations of temperature in the north-west of Iran,19 synoptic stations which had had the more complete time series, have been used. First temperature spatial variations on the basis of central and

Estimation of the probability of failure during operation of a prefabricated cutting tool with replaceable polyhedral plates by nonparametric statistics methods

open access: yesОмский научный вестник, 2023
The article discusses the issues of durability of a prefabricated cutting tool in the process of metal cutting, as well as the risk of loss of its operability.

Sparsity oracle inequalities for the Lasso

open access: yes, 2007
This paper studies oracle properties of $\ell_1$-penalized least squares in nonparametric regression setting with random design. We show that the penalized least squares estimator satisfies sparsity oracle inequalities, i.e., bounds in terms of the ...
