Quantile Estimation Based on the Log-Skew-t Linear Regression Model: Statistical Aspects, Simulations, and Applications

open access: yesStats
We propose a robust linear regression model assuming a log-skew-t distribution for the response variable, with the aim of exploring the association between the covariates and the quantiles of a continuous and positive response variable under skewness and

Change-constrained stochastic programming problem with normal, t and skew normal, skew t distributions

open access: yes, 2021
In this paper, a change constrained optimization programming problem is studied under the assumption that the model coe¢ cients in the inequalities defned as random variables are independent and assumed to be Normal, t; Non Normal Skew distributions ...

Systemic Extracerebral Atherosclerotic Burden and Dementia Risk After Incident Stroke

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke survivors are at increased risk of dementia, but clinically accessible markers of risk heterogeneity remain limited. Previous studies have largely examined atherosclerotic disease in individual vascular beds rather than the overall burden of systemic extracerebral atherosclerosis.

Log-Skew-Normal and Log-Skew-t Distributions as Models for Family Income Data

open access: yes, 2002
The U.S. family income data for the years 1970, 1975, 1978, 1980, 1985 and 1990 was fitted using the log-normal, Gamma, Singh-Maddala, Dagum type I and generalized Beta of second kind distributions, among others in earlier publications.

Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to construct and evaluate the first laboratory‐based frailty index (FI‐Lab) for predicting adverse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare its predictive ability to that of an existing clinical FI. Methods We used data from a single‐center prospective cohort of adult patients with SLE whose baseline visit ...

Mixed-Effects Tobit Joint Models for Longitudinal Data with Skewness, Detection Limits, and Measurement Errors

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2012
Complex longitudinal data are commonly analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) models with a normal distribution. However, a departure from normality may lead to invalid inference and unreasonable parameter estimates.

Biopsychosocial Determinants of Hand Function and Its Trajectories Over Five Years in Patients With Hand Osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to investigate hand function trajectories over five years in primary hand osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, determinants of baseline and longitudinal hand function were assessed. Methods A total of 538 patients with both baseline and five‐year study visits were analyzed.

EMMIXuskew: An R Package for Fitting Mixtures of Multivariate Skew t Distributions via the EM Algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2013
This paper describes an algorithm for fitting finite mixtures of unrestricted Multivariate Skew t (FM-uMST) distributions. The package EMMIXuskew implements a closed-form expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood (ML ...

Skew Incidence on Concave Wedge With Anisotropic Surface Impedance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The diffraction of a plane wave at skew incidence by an arbitrary-angled concave wedge with anisotropic impedance faces is studied. Concave wedges are of interest in wireless propagation models, in particular on modeling buildings and reflectors.
