The Challenge of Time‐to‐Event Analysis for Multiple Events: A Guided Tour From Time‐to‐First‐Event to Recurrent Time‐to‐Event Analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Clinical trials often compare a treatment to a control group concerning multiple possible combined time‐to‐event endpoints like hospital‐free survival. Thereby, the first endpoint may occur more than once (“recurrent”), whereas the second endpoint is absorbing. Inclusion of all observed events in the analysis can increase the power and provide

We consider the minimax rate of testing (or estimation) of non-linear functionals defined on semiparametric models. Existing methods appear not capable of determining a lower bound on the minimax rate of testing (or estimation) for certain functionals of interest.

Semiparametric Tail Index Regression [PDF]
Abstract–Understanding why extreme events occur is often of major scientific interest in many fields. The occurrence of these events naturally depends on explanatory variables, but there is a severe lack of flexible models with asymptotic theory for understanding this dependence, especially when variables can affect the outcome nonlinearly.

Bayesian variants of some classical semiparametric regression techniques [PDF]
This paper develops new Bayesian methods for semiparametric inference in the partial linear Normal regression model: y=zβ+f(x)+var epsilon where f(.) is an unknown function.

Semiparametric theory and empirical processes in causal inference
In this paper we review important aspects of semiparametric theory and empirical processes that arise in causal inference problems. We begin with a brief introduction to the general problem of causal inference, and go on to discuss estimation and ...

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions
Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...

Semiparametric CRB and Slepian-Bangs formulas for Complex Elliptically Symmetric Distributions
The main aim of this paper is to extend the semiparametric inference methodology, recently investigated for Real Elliptically Symmetric (RES) distributions, to Complex Elliptically Symmetric (CES) distributions. The generalization to the complex field is

Semiparametric Additive Regression
SUMMARY A simple estimator for β is proposed for the model y = x'β + g(t)+ error, g smooth but unknown. The approach is to approximate the estimating equation obtained from a ***semiparametric likelihood and in the simplest case reduces to minimizing the distance between the 'pseudoresiduals' y - x'β and a local linear cross-validated ...

Bayesian clustering of multivariate extremes
Abstract The asymptotic dependence structure between multivariate extreme values is fully characterized by their projections on the unit simplex. Under mild conditions, the only constraint on the resulting distributions is that their marginal means must be equal, which results in a nonparametric model that can be difficult to use in applications ...
