In this article we give an explicit example of an inverse system with nonempty sets and onto bonding maps such that its inverse limit is empty.
Regression with compositional responses is challenging due to the nonlinear geometry of the simplex and the limitations of Euclidean methods. We propose a regression framework for manifold-valued data based on mappings to statistically…
Missing exposure information is a very common feature of many observational studies. Here we study identifiability and efficient estimation of causal effects on vector outcomes, in such cases where treatment is unconfounded but partially…
Some scientific publications are under suspicion of fabrication of data. Since humans are bad random number generators, there might be some evidential value in favor of fabrication in the statistical results as presented in such papers. In…
Correlated data are ubiquitous in today's data-driven society. While regression models for analyzing means and variances of responses of interest are relatively well-developed, the development of these models for analyzing the correlations…
We propose an l1-regularized likelihood method for estimating the inverse covariance matrix in the high-dimensional multivariate normal model in presence of missing data. Our method is based on the assumption that the data are missing at…
For binary experimental data, we discuss randomization-based inferential procedures that do not need to invoke any modeling assumptions. We also introduce methods for likelihood and Bayesian inference based solely on the physical…
We study composition operators of characteristic zero on weighted Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series. For this purpose we demonstrate the existence of weighted mean counting functions associated with the Dirichlet series symbol, and provide…
Data compaction is a new approach for lossless and lossy compression of read-only array data. The biggest advantage over existing approaches is the possibility to access compressed data without any decompression. This makes data compaction…
We propose a general, theoretically justified mechanism for processing missing data by neural networks. Our idea is to replace typical neuron's response in the first hidden layer by its expected value. This approach can be applied for…
We consider the problem of regression with selectively observed covariates in a nonparametric framework. Our approach relies on instrumental variables that explain variation in the latent covariates but have no direct effect on selection.…
The Box-Cox symmetric distributions constitute a broad class of probability models for positive continuous data, offering flexibility in modeling skewness and tail behavior. Their parameterization allows a straightforward quantile-based…
We propose to learn invariant representations, in the data domain, to achieve interpretability in algorithmic fairness. Invariance implies a selectivity for high level, relevant correlations w.r.t. class label annotations, and a robustness…
For several reasons a database may not satisfy a given set of integrity constraints(ICs), but most likely most of the information in it is still consistent with those ICs; and could be retrieved when queries are answered. Consistent answers…
Compositional data, which are vectors of proportions constrained to the probability simplex, arise frequently in modern scientific applications, including microbiome relative abundances across body sites and cell-type mixture weights…
A long-standing problem in the construction of asymptotically correct confidence bands for a regression function $m(x)=E[Y|X=x]$, where $Y$ is the response variable influenced by the covariate $X$, involves the situation where $Y$ values…
Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a well established method of nonlinear data analysis. In this work we present a new strategy for an almost parameter-free RQA. The approach finally omits the choice of the threshold parameter by…
We compare two deletion-based methods for dealing with the problem of missing observations in linear regression analysis. One is the complete-case analysis (CC, or listwise deletion) that discards all incomplete observations and only uses…
In the context of functional data analysis, probability density functions as non-negative functions are characterized by specific properties of scale invariance and relative scale which enable to represent them with the unit integral…
This work focuses on the characterization of the central tendency of a sample of compositional data. It provides new results about theoretical properties of means and covariance functions for compositional data, with an axiomatic…
