Compositional observations are an increasingly prevalent data source in spatial statistics. Analysis of such data is typically done on log-ratio transformations or via Dirichlet regression. However, these approaches often make unnecessarily…
Heterogeneous but complementary sources of data provide an unprecedented opportunity for developing accurate statistical models of systems. Although the existing methods have shown promising results, they are mostly applicable to situations…
Microbiome data are complex in nature, involving high dimensionality, compositionally, zero inflation, and taxonomic hierarchy. Compositional data reside in a simplex that does not admit the standard Euclidean geometry. Most existing…
This paper discusses linear regression of strongly correlated data that arises, for example, in magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium reconstructions. We have proved that, generically, the covariance matrix of the estimated regression parameters…
We study a high-dimensional regression setting under the assumption of known covariate distribution. We aim at estimating the amount of explained variation in the response by the best linear function of the covariates (the signal level). In…
We propose the construction of entire functions with a given random collection of zeros. There are considered two particular cases. In the first one we are dealing with simple zeros. And the second corresponds to random zeros with random…
A signal with discrete frequency components, has a zero bispectrum if no linear combination of the frequencies equals one of the frequency components. We introduce fractional bispectrum in which for such signals the fractional bispectrum is…
We give an explicit formula for the correlation functions of real zeros of a random polynomial with arbitrary independent continuously distributed coefficients.
Missing data are inevitable in clinical trials, and trials that produce categorical ordinal responses are not exempted from this. Typically, missing values in the data occur due to different missing mechanisms, such as missing completely at…
Quantile regression is a very important tool to explore the relationship between the response variable and its covariates. Motivated by mean regression with LASSO for compositional covariates proposed by Lin et al. (2014), we consider…
With multiple outcomes in empirical research, a common strategy is to define a composite outcome as a weighted average of the original outcomes. However, the choices of weights are often subjective and can be controversial. We propose an…
This paper presents a novel application of compositional data analysis methods in the context of color image processing. A vector decomposition method is proposed to reveal compositional components of any vector with positive components…
We present a robust framework to perform linear regression with missing entries in the features. By considering an elliptical data distribution, and specifically a multivariate normal model, we are able to conditionally formulate a…
This paper shows that one needs to be careful when making statements on potential links between correlation and coskewness. Specifically, we first show that, on the one hand, it is possible to observe any possible values of coskewness among…
In current applied research the most-used route to an analysis of composition is through log-ratios -- that is, contrasts among log-transformed measurements. Here we argue instead for a more direct approach, using a statistical model for…
This paper considers the problem of kernel regression and classification with possibly unobservable response variables in the data, where the mechanism that causes the absence of information is unknown and can depend on both predictors and…
Compositional data, representing proportions constrained to the simplex, arise in diverse fields such as geosciences, ecology, genomics, and microbiome research. Existing nonparametric density estimation methods often rely on…
This research arises from the need to predict the amount of air pollutants in meteorological stations. Air pollution depends on the location of the stations (weather conditions and activities in the surroundings). Frequently, the…
The restricted polynomially-tilted pairwise interaction (RPPI) distribution gives a flexible model for compositional data. It is particularly well-suited to situations where some of the marginal distributions of the components of a…
How does missing data affect our ability to learn signal structures? It has been shown that learning signal structure in terms of principal components is dependent on the ratio of sample size and dimensionality and that a critical number of…
