Geographically weighted linear combination test for gene-set analysis of a continuous spatial phenotype as applied to intratumor heterogeneity [PDF]
Background: The impact of gene-sets on a spatial phenotype is not necessarily uniform across different locations of cancer tissue. This study introduces a computational platform, GWLCT, for combining gene set analysis with spatial data modeling to ...

Linear Hybrid Shrinkage of Weights for Forecast Selection and Combination [PDF]
Forecast combination is an established methodology to improve forecast accuracy. The primary questions in the current literature are how many and which forecasts to include (selection) and how to weight the selected forecasts (weighting). Although integrating both tasks seems appealing, we are only aware of a few data analytical models that integrate ...
