Minimal spanning trees and Stein’s method [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Applied Probability, 2017
Kesten and Lee [36] proved that the total length of a minimal spanning tree on certain random point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfies a central limit theorem. They also raised the question: how to make these results quantitative? However, techniques employed to tackle the same problem for other functionals studied in geometric probability do ...

Are There Causal Associations Between Obsessive‐Compulsive Disorder and Cardiometabolic Phenotypes? A Genetic Correlation and Bi‐Directional Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and

An improved bound for negative binomial approximation with -functions

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2017
In this article, we use Stein’s method together with -functions to give an improved bound for the total variation distance between the distribution of a non-negative integer-valued random variable and the negative binomial distribution with parameters ...

A note on the exchangeability condition in Stein's method

open access: yes, 2008
We show by a surprisingly simple argument that the exchangeability condition, which is key to the exchangeable pair approach in Stein's method for distributional approximation, can be omitted in many standard settings.

Aziridination of a Single Carbon Atom in Alkenes via Energy Transfer Catalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Contrary to traditional alkene aziridination via (formal) nitrene transfer, we herein report a strategy that achieves intermolecular aziridination of a single alkene carbon atom and installs an additional group at the other. Enabled by metal‐free energy transfer (EnT) catalysis, alkenyl boronates and silanes are transformed into reactive intermediates ...

Multiple Parameters Determination for Image and Video Reconstruction Using Genetic Algorithm and Generalized Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
This paper proposes a heuristic multi-parameter optimization method for image and video reconstruction. The method is embedded in an evolutionary computation framework in which a set of parameters are encoded into chromosomes of an individual, and a ...

Orthogonal Polynomials in Stein's Method

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2001
The paper systematically develops a relationship between the classical families of orthogonal polynomials and Stein's method as applied to the distributions in the Pearson and Ord families, that was also discussed by \textit{P. Diaconis} and \textit{S. Zabell} [Stat. Sci. 6, No. 3, 284-302 (1991)].

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
