A Statistical Model for Helices with Applications [PDF]
Biometrics, 2018 Summary Motivated by a cutting edge problem related to the shape of -helices in proteins, we formulate a parametric statistical model, which incorporates the cylindrical nature of the helix. Our focus is to detect a “kink,” which is a drastic change in the axial direction of the helix.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background An international Delphi panel of experts developed consensus statements to delineate the circumstances where the risks of dexamethasone as an antiemetic do and do not outweigh its benefits. Procedure Experts in supportive care of pediatric patients were invited to participate.

Cram\'{e}r-type moderate deviations for Studentized two-sample $U$-statistics with applications
, 2016 Two-sample $U$-statistics are widely used in a broad range of applications, including those in the fields of biostatistics and econometrics. In this paper, we establish sharp Cram\'{e}r-type moderate deviation theorems for Studentized two-sample $U ...

An application of statistics to comparative metagenomics [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2006 Abstract Background Metagenomics, sequence analyses of genomic DNA isolated directly from the environments, can be used to identify organisms and model community dynamics of a particular ecosystem. Metagenomics also has the potential to identify significantly different metabolic potential in different environments.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Wilms tumour (WT) has excellent event‐free and overall survival (OS). However, small differences exist between countries participating in the same international study. This led us to examine variation in adherence to protocol recommendations as a potential contributing factor.

Comment: Bayesian Checking of the Second Levels of Hierarchical Models
, 2007 We discuss the methods of Evans and Moshonov [Bayesian Analysis 1 (2006) 893--914, Bayesian Statistics and Its Applications (2007) 145--159] concerning checking for prior-data conflict and their relevance to the method proposed in this paper. [arXiv:0802.

Weak convergence of the empirical copula process with respect to weighted metrics [PDF]
, 2014 The empirical copula process plays a central role in the asymptotic analysis of many statistical procedures which are based on copulas or ranks. Among other applications, results regarding its weak convergence can be used to develop asymptotic theory for
