On distributional autoregression and iterated transportation

We consider the problem of defining and fitting models of autoregressive time series of probability distributions on a compact interval of Double-struck capital R. An order-1 autoregressive model in this context is to be understood as a Markov chain, where ...

Probabilistic fatigue model for composites based on the statistical characteristics of the cycles to failure

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Guangjian Xiang

A probabilistic model for estimating the fatigue life of composite laminates based on the mean value and standard deviation of the fatigue life is introduced here for predicting the distribution of fatigue life at any stress level for a constant stress rat ...

Testing For The Rank Of A Covariance Operator

Victor Panaretos

How can we discern whether the covariance operator of a stochastic pro-cess is of reduced rank, and if so, what its precise rank is? And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional dat ...

Sparsely Observed Functional Time Series: Theory and Applications

Tomas Rubin

Functional time series is a temporally ordered sequence of not necessarily independent random curves. While the statistical analysis of such data has been traditionally carried out under the assumption of completely observed functional data, it may well ha ...

NovelT2Mapping for Evaluating Cervical Cancer Features by Providing QuantitativeT2Maps and Synthetic Morphologic Images: A Preliminary Study

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Yong Zhang, Meng Yang, Jie Liu

Background The application value of T(2)mapping in evaluating cervical cancer (CC) features remains unclear. Purpose To investigate the role of T(2)values in evaluating CC classification, grade, and lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in comparison to app ...

Design guidelines for Al-12%Si latent heat storage encapsulations to optimize performance and mitigate degradation

Sophia Haussener, Selmar Rudolf Binder

We provide detailed insight into the growth kinetics of intermetallic layers formed at the interface of molten Al-12%Si with cylindrical encapsulations of 316L stainless steel. This knowledge is relevant for the design and operation of high-temperature lat ...

Study of charmonium production in b-hadron decays and first evidence for the decay B-s(0) -> phi phi phi

Christoph Frei, Peter Clarke, Jean Wicht, Aurelio Bay, Minh Tâm Tran, Marc-Olivier Bettler, Cédric Potterat, François Fleuret, Tatsuya Nakada, Guido Haefeli, Niko Neufeld, Olivier Schneider, Hans Dijkstra, Frédéric Teubert, Gerhard Raven, Chitsanu Khurewathanakul, Frédéric Blanc, Matthew Needham, Axel Kuonen, Olivier Göran Girard, Liang Sun, Maxime Schubiger, Thibaud Humair, Hang Yin, Xiaoxue Han, Greig Alan Cowan, Paolo Durante, Jessica Prisciandaro, Vladislav Balagura, Ilya Komarov, Zhirui Xu, Mark Tobin, Victor Coco, Violaine Bellée, Mirco Dorigo, Sebastiana Gianì, Yu Zheng, Maurizio Martinelli, Guido Andreassi, Maxim Borisyak, Plamen Hristov Hopchev, Anton Petrov, Jian Wang, Liupan An, Preema Rennee Pais, Pavol Stefko, Yi Zhang, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Lei Zhang, Luca Pescatore, Adam Davis, Pietro Marino, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini, Donal Patrick Hill, Federico Betti, Renato Quagliani, Aravindhan Venkateswaran, Feng Jiang, Yiming Li, Giovanni Carboni, Katharina Müller

Using decays to f-meson pairs, the inclusive production of charmonium states in b-hadron decays is studied with pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb(-1), collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and ...

Indicators of Evidence for Bioequivalence

Stephan Morgenthaler, Robert Staudte

Some equivalence tests are based on two one-sided tests, where in many applications the test statistics are approximately normal. We define and find evidence for equivalence in Z-tests and then one-and two-sample binomial tests as well as for t-tests. Mult ...

Accurate Directional Inference for Vector Parameters in Linear Exponential Families

Anthony Christopher Davison

We consider inference on a vector-valued parameter of interest in a linear exponential family, in the presence of a finite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Based on higher-order asymptotic theory for likelihood, we propose a directional test whose p-value i ...

On Optimal Two Sample Homogeneity Tests for Finite Alphabets

Jayakrishnan Unnikrishnan

Suppose we are given two independent strings of data from a known finite alphabet. We are interested in testing the null hypothesis that both the strings were drawn from the same distribution, assuming that the samples within each string are mutually indep ...

Applying the Multivariate Time-Rescaling Theorem to Neural Population Models

Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard

Statistical models of neural activity are integral to modern neuroscience. Recently interest has grown in modeling the spiking activity of populations of simultaneously recorded neurons to study the effects of correlations and functional connectivity on ne ...

Stratégies de compromis pour l'estimation des paramètres de régression et pour la classification floue

Nicolas Fournier

Model specification is an integral part of any statistical inference problem. Several model selection techniques have been developed in order to determine which model is the best one among a list of possible candidates. Another way to deal with this questi ...

Rescaling, thinning or complementing? On goodness-of-fit procedures for point process models and Generalized Linear Models

Wulfram Gerstner, Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard

Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) are an increasingly popular framework for modeling neural spike trains. They have been linked to the theory of stochastic point processes and researchers have used this relation to assess goodness-of-fit using methods from ...

Validity and Reliability of a French Version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire in a Nonclinical Population

Mathieu d'Acremont

We investigated the psychometric properties of a French translation of the Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ). 265 participants from the French-speaking population of Belgium completed the MCQ. Construct validity was assessed by means of a factor analysis, ...

Evaluating automated parameter constraining procedures of neuron models by experimental and surrogate data

Henry Markram, Thomas Berger, Felix Schürmann, Sean Lewis Hill, Idan Segev

Neuron models, in particular conductance-based compartmental models, often have numerous parameters that cannot be directly determined experimentally and must be constrained by an optimization procedure. A common practice in evaluating the utility of such ...
