Semisupervised methods inevitably invoke some assumption that links the marginal distribution of the features to the regression function of the label. Most commonly, the cluster or manifold assumptions are used which imply that the…
The multi-index model is a simple yet powerful high-dimensional regression model which circumvents the curse of dimensionality assuming $ \mathbb{E} [ Y | X ] = g(A^\top X) $ for some unknown index space $A$ and link function $g$. In this…
Many real-life data sets can be analyzed using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs). Since these are ordinarily based on normality assumptions, under small deviations from the model the inference can be highly unstable when the associated parameters…
Small area estimators that ignore the sampling design lack design consistency when the sampling mechanism is complex and may be severely biased under informative designs. Existing procedures that account for the survey weights under…
