Fisher's criterion is a widely used tool in machine learning for feature selection. For large search spaces, Fisher's criterion can provide a scalable solution to select features. A challenging limitation of Fisher's criterion, however, is…

We derive a Bayesian framework for incorporating selection effects into population analyses. We allow for both measurement uncertainty in individual measurements and, crucially, for selection biases on the population of measurements, and…

We propose improvements in numerical evaluation of symmetric stable density and its partial derivatives with respect to the parameters. They are useful for more reliable evaluation of maximum likelihood estimator and its standard error.…

Van Trees inequality, also known as the Bayesian Cram\'er-Rao lower bound, is a powerful tool for establishing lower bounds for minimax estimation through Fisher information. It easily adapts to different statistical models and often yields…

Contrary to the suggestion of Kitatani and Sinada (2000 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. {\bf 33} 3545-3553), the scaling analysis of the order parameter distributions suggests the existence of a finite-temperature spin-glass phase transition $T_c\ne…

Skewed probit regression is but one example of a statistical model that generalizes a simpler model, like probit regression. All skew-symmetric distributions and link functions arise from symmetric distributions by incorporating a skewness…
