Reduce computation in profile empirical likelihood method [PDF]

open access: greenCanadian Journal of Statistics, 2011
Summary: Since its introduction by \textit{A.B. Owen} [Biometrika 75, No. 2, 237--249 (1988; Zbl 0641.62032); Ann. Stat. 18, No. 1, 90--120 (1990; Zbl 0712.62040)], the empirical likelihood method has been extensively investigated and widely used to construct confidence regions and to test hypotheses in the literature.

Semiparametric Relative-risk Regression for Infectious Disease Data

open access: yes, 2012
This paper introduces semiparametric relative-risk regression models for infectious disease data based on contact intervals, where the contact interval from person i to person j is the time between the onset of infectiousness in i and infectious contact ...

A gaze prediction technique for open signed video content using a track before detect algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper proposes a gaze prediction model for open signed video content. A face detection algorithm is used to locate faces across each frame in both profile and frontal orientations. A grid-based likelihood ratio track before detect routine is used to

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Profiles of learners based on their cognitive and metacognitive learning strategy use: occurrence and relations with gender, intrinsic motivation, and perceived autonomy support

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2022
For life-long learning, an effective learning strategy repertoire is particularly important during acquisition of knowledge in lower secondary school—an educational level characterized with transition into more autonomous learning environments with ...

Cover your bases: asymptotic distributions of the profile likelihood ratio when constraining effective field theories in high-energy physics

open access: yesSciPost Physics Core, 2023
We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the profile likelihood ratio (PLR) when constraining effective field theories (EFTs) and show that Wilks' theorem is often violated, meaning that we should not assume the PLR to follow a $\chi^2$-distribution.

Power delay profile and noise variance estimation for OFDM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this letter, we present cyclic-prefix (CP) based noise-variance and power-delay-profile estimators for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems.

Improved Outcomes for Older Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Neuroblastoma in the Post‐Immunotherapy Era: An Updated Report From the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We describe clinical and biologic characteristics of neuroblastoma in older children, adolescents, and young adults (OCAYA); describe survival outcomes in the post‐immunotherapy era; and identify if there is an age cut‐off that best discriminates outcomes.

Lab Retriever: a software tool for calculating likelihood ratios incorporating a probability of drop-out for forensic DNA profiles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundTechnological advances have enabled the analysis of very small amounts of DNA in forensic cases. However, the DNA profiles from such evidence are frequently incomplete and can contain contributions from multiple individuals.

Efficient profile maximum likelihood for universal symmetric property estimation [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium on the Theory of Computing, 2019
Estimating symmetric properties of a distribution, e.g. support size, coverage, entropy, distance to uniformity, are among the most fundamental problems in algorithmic statistics.
