Abstract: A family of weighted estimators of the regression parameter under a nonlinear model is introduced. The proposed weighted estimators are computed through a four-step MM-procedure, and the given approach allows for possible missing responses. Under… read more here.

Abstract: Complex models are of increasing interest to social scientists. Researchers interested in prediction generally favor flexible, robust approaches, while those interested in causation are often interested in modeling nuanced treatment structures and confounding relationships. Unfortunately,… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT We introduce a robust clustering procedure for parsimonious model-based clustering. The classical mclust framework is robustified through impartial trimming and eigenvalue-ratio constraints (the tclust framework, which is robust but not affine invariant). An advantage… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A popular way to model correlated count data with excess zeros and over-dispersion simultaneously is by means of the multilevel zero-inflated negative binomial (MZINB) distribution. Due to the complexity of the likelihood of these… read more here.

Abstract: Patterns of sequencing coverage along a bacterial genome—summarized by a peak-to-trough ratio (PTR)—have been shown to accurately reflect microbial growth rates, revealing a new facet of microbial dynamics and host–microbe interactions. Here, we introduce Compute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tr.2021.3117189
Abstract: The article aims to explore certain reliability probability models using a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler. There are some concerns with the classic HMC samplers. A notable aspect of the method comes from its acceptance… read more here.

Abstract: A new method provides evidence that evolution of gene activity in the human brain was driven by natural selection. A longstanding hypothesis is that divergence between humans and chimpanzees might have been driven more by… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.00021
Abstract: Bacteria and archaea can exchange genetic material across lineages through processes of lateral genetic transfer (LGT). Collectively, these exchange relationships can be modeled as a network and analyzed using concepts from graph theory. In particular,… read more here.
