Exact asymptotics of the optimal Lp-error of asymmetric linear spline approximation

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper we study the best asymmetric (sometimes also called penalized or sign-sensitive) approximation in the metrics of the space $L_p$, $1\leqslant p\leqslant\infty$, of functions $f\in C^2\left([0,1]^2\right)$ with nonnegative Hessian by ...

Filtering Time Series with Penalized Splines

open access: yesStudies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics, 2011
The decomposition and filtering of time series is an important issue in economics and econometrics and related fields. Even though there are numerous competing methods on the market, in applications one often meets one of the few favorites, like the Hodrick & Prescott filter or the Bandpass filter.

Explicit‐Implicit Material Point Method for Dense Granular Flows With a Novel Regularized µ(I) Model

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The material point method (MPM) is widely employed to simulate granular flows. Although explicit time integration is favored in most current MPM implementations for its simplicity, it cannot rigorously incorporate the incompressible µ(I)‐rheology, an efficient model ubiquitously adopted in other particle‐based numerical methods. While operator‐

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

Non-Standard Semiparametric Regression via BRugs

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2010
We provide several illustrations of Bayesian semiparametric regression analyses in the BRugs package. BRugs facilitates use of the BUGS inference engine from the R computing environment and allows analyses to be managed using scripts.

Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of probability densities by penalty function methods [PDF]

open access: yes
When it is known a priori exactly to which finite dimensional manifold the probability density function gives rise to a set of samples, the parametric maximum likelihood estimation procedure leads to poor estimates and is unstable; while the ...
