Analyzing Temperature Effects on Mortality Within the R Environment: The Constrained Segmented Distributed Lag Parameterization

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2010
Here we present and discuss the R package modTempEff including a set of functions aimed at modelling temperature effects on mortality with time series data.

Machine Learning Hazard Estimation with Valid Bootstrap Inference for Generalized Progressive Hybrid Censoring

open access: yesMathematics
Reliability studies frequently employ progressive censoring schemes that remove surviving units during testing, yet statistical inference under such designs remains vulnerable to parametric model misspecification.

A Conceptually Simple Modeling Approach for Jason-1 Sea State Bias Correction Based on 3 Parameters Exclusively Derived from Altimetric Information

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
A conceptually simple formulation is proposed for a new empirical sea state bias (SSB) model using information retrieved entirely from altimetric data.

The penalized Lebesgue constant for surface spline interpolation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2011
Problems involving approximation from scattered data where data is arranged quasi-uniformly have been treated by RBF methods for decades. Treating data with spatially varying density has not been investigated with the same intensity and is far less well understood.

Comparison of Significant Approaches of Penalized Spline Regression (P-splines)

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2018
Over the last two decades P-Splines have become a popular modeling tool in a wide class of statistical contexts. Fundamentally, semiparametric regression methods combine the leads of parametric and nonparametric approaches to regression analysis, while in precise, penalized spline regression uses the knowledge of nonparametric spline smoothing as a ...

Robust estimation of the expected survival probabilities from high-dimensional Cox models with biomarker-by-treatment interactions in randomized clinical trials

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017
Background Thanks to the advances in genomics and targeted treatments, more and more prediction models based on biomarkers are being developed to predict potential benefit from treatments in a randomized clinical trial.

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.

Birnbaum-Saunders Semi-Parametric Additive Modeling

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal
Inclusion of nonparametric functions enhances the modeling when accommodating non-linear effects of covariates. Semi-parametric models have been successfully used for describing non-linear structures by means of parametric and nonparametric components ...

New approaches to regression in financial mathematics and life sciences by generalized additive models

open access: yesSistemnì Doslìdženâ ta Informacìjnì Tehnologìï, 2008
This paper introduces into and improves the theoretical research done by the authors in the last two years in the applied area of GAMs (generalized additive models) which belong to the modern statistical learning, important in many areas of prediction, e.

hmmTMB: Hidden Markov Models with Flexible Covariate Effects in R

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are widely applied in studies where a discrete-valued process of interest is observed indirectly. They have for example been used to model behavior from human and animal tracking data, disease status from medical data, and ...
