Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among

Using String Kernels to Identify Performers from their Playing Style
In this paper we show a novel application of string kernels: that is to the problem of recognising famous pianists from their style of playing. The characteristics of performers playing the same piece are obtained from changes in beat-level tempo and ...

Robust estimation of the vector autoregressive model by a trimmed least squares procedure. [PDF]
The vector autoregressive model is very popular for modeling multiple time series. Estimation of its parameters is done by a least squares procedure. However, this estimation method is unreliable when outliers are present in the data, and there is a need
