Diversity and Community Structure of Stream Insects in a Minimally Disturbed Forested Watershed in Southern Illinois [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Lusk Creek Watershed, located in Pope County, IL, long has been rec- ognized as a high quality area of biological significance, but surveys of the stream macroinvertebrate fauna have been limited.

The MVGC multivariate Granger causality toolbox: a new approach to Granger-causal inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Wiener-Granger causality (“G-causality”) is a statistical notion of causality applicable to time series data, whereby cause precedes, and helps predict, effect.

Inference for variograms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The empirical variogram is a standard tool in the investigation and modelling of spatial covariance. However, its properties can be difficult to identify and exploit in the context of exploring the characteristics of individual datasets.

Partial Identification in Matching Models for the Marriage Market

open access: yes, 2020
We study partial identification of the preference parameters in models of one-to-one matching with perfectly transferable utilities, without imposing parametric distributional restrictions on the unobserved heterogeneity and with data on one large market.

Inference on Counterfactual Distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Counterfactual distributions are important ingredients for policy analysis and decomposition analysis in empirical economics. In this article we develop modeling and inference tools for counterfactual distributions based on regression methods.

Privacy-Friendly Mobility Analytics using Aggregate Location Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Location data can be extremely useful to study commuting patterns and disruptions, as well as to predict real-time traffic volumes. At the same time, however, the fine-grained collection of user locations raises serious privacy concerns, as this can ...

Building and using semiparametric tolerance regions for parametric multinomial models

open access: yes, 2009
We introduce a semiparametric ``tubular neighborhood'' of a parametric model in the multinomial setting. It consists of all multinomial distributions lying in a distance-based neighborhood of the parametric model of interest. Fitting such a tubular model

Inference for High-Dimensional Sparse Econometric Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This article is about estimation and inference methods for high dimensional sparse (HDS) regression models in econometrics. High dimensional sparse models arise in situations where many regressors (or series terms) are available and the regression ...

Informed RRT*: Optimal Sampling-based Path Planning Focused via Direct Sampling of an Admissible Ellipsoidal Heuristic

open access: yes, 2014
Rapidly-exploring random trees (RRTs) are popular in motion planning because they find solutions efficiently to single-query problems. Optimal RRTs (RRT*s) extend RRTs to the problem of finding the optimal solution, but in doing so asymptotically find ...

open access: yes, 2018
This paper aims at formulating the issue of ranking multivariate unlabeled observations depending on their degree of abnormality as an unsupervised statistical learning task.
