Bayesian Model Comparison in Genetic Association Analysis: Linear Mixed Modeling and SNP Set Testing [PDF]
, 2015 We consider the problems of hypothesis testing and model comparison under a flexible Bayesian linear regression model whose formulation is closely connected with the linear mixed effect model and the parametric models for SNP set analysis in genetic ...

A One-Sample Test for Normality with Kernel Methods [PDF]
, 2015 We propose a new one-sample test for normality in a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS). Namely, we test the null-hypothesis of belonging to a given family of Gaussian distributions.

Parametric Predictive Bootstrap Method for the Reproducibility of Hypothesis Tests
Journal of Statistical Theory and PracticeAbstract Hypothesis tests are essential tools in applied statistics, but their results can vary when repeated. The reproducibility probability (RP) quantifies the probability of obtaining the same test outcome—either rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis—if a hypothesis test is repeated under identical conditions.

Genetic mapping of complex traits by minimizing integrated square errors
BMC Genetics, 2012 Background Genetic mapping has been used as a tool to study the genetic architecture of complex traits by localizing their underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Statistical methods for genetic mapping rely on a key assumption, that is, traits obey a

A note on the Bandwidth choice when the null hypothesis is semiparametric [PDF]
This work presents a tool for the additivity test. The additive model is widely used for parametric and semiparametric modeling of economic data. The additivity hypothesis is of interest because it is easy to interpret and produces reasonably fast ...

Testing the martingale difference hypothesis using integrated regression functions. [PDF]
An omnibus test for testing a generalized version of the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) is proposed. This generalized hypothesis includes the usual MDH, testing for conditional moments constancy such as conditional homoscedasticity (ARCH effects)

new test for the parametric form of the variance function in nonparametric regression [PDF]
In the common nonparametric regression model the problem of testing for the parametric form of the conditional variance is considered. A stochastic process based on the difference between the empirical processes obtained from the standardized ...
