Natural Exponential Families with Quadratic Variance Functions: Statistical Theory

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1983
The normal, Poisson, gamma, binomial, negative binomial, and NEFGHS distributions are the six univariate natural exponential families (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF). This sequel to Morris (1982) treats certain statistical topics that can be handled within this unified NEF-QVF formulation, including unbiased estimation, Bhattacharyya and ...

Learning Quadratic Variance Function (QVF) DAG models via OverDispersion Scoring (ODS)

open access: yes, 2017
Learning DAG or Bayesian network models is an important problem in multi-variate causal inference. However, a number of challenges arises in learning large-scale DAG models including model identifiability and computational complexity since the space of directed graphs is huge.

Dynamic Optimal Mean-Variance Investment with Mispricing in the Family of 4/2 Stochastic Volatility Models

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
This paper considers an optimal investment problem with mispricing in the family of 4/2 stochastic volatility models under mean–variance criterion. The financial market consists of a risk-free asset, a market index and a pair of mispriced stocks.

Mean and variance of the LQG cost function

open access: yes, 2016
Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) systems are well-understood and methods to minimize the expected cost are readily available. Less is known about the statistical properties of the resulting cost function.

Prediction by Regression and kriging for Spatial Data with Application [PDF]

open access: yesالمجلة العراقية للعلوم الاحصائية, 2011
This study deals with the prediction of the non-stationary spatial stochastic process. The prediction is done by two techniques which are regression technique (generalized least square estimation) and universal kriging technique.

Sensor/Actuator Selection for the Constrained Variance Control Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The problem of designing a linear controller for systems subject to inequality variance constraints is considered. A quadratic penalty function approach is used to yield a linear controller.

Three Occurrences of the Hyperbolic-Secant Distribution

open access: yes, 2014
Although it is the generator distribution of the sixth natural exponential family with quadratic variance function, the Hyperbolic-Secant distribution is much less known than other distributions in the exponential families. Its lack of familiarity is due

Biopsychosocial determinants of hand function and its trajectories over five years in patients with hand osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives This study aimed to investigate hand function trajectories over 5 years in primary hand osteoarthritis. Additionally, determinants of baseline and longitudinal hand function were assessed. Methods 538 patients with both baseline and 5‐year study visits were analyzed.

Comparison of Quadratic- and Median-Based Roughness Penalties for Penalized-Likelihood Sinogram Restoration in Computed Tomography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomedical Imaging, 2006
We have compared the performance of two different penalty choices for a penalized-likelihood sinogram-restoration strategy we have been developing. One is a quadratic penalty we have employed previously and the other is a new median-based penalty.

Discordance Between Patient and Physician Global Assessments in Early Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to identify factors associated with patient global assessment (PtGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA) and discordance between them in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Data from adults with early SSc (<5 years) from the Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry were included.
