Beta regression is a popular methodology when the outcome variable $y$ is on the open interval $(0,1)$. When $y$ is in the closed interval $[0,1]$, it is commonly accepted that beta regression is inapplicable. Instead, common solutions are…

Two-step estimators often called upon to fit censored regression models in many areas of science and engineering. Since censoring incurs a bias in the naive least-squares fit, a two-step estimator first estimates the bias and then fits a…

The Student-$t$ distribution is widely used in statistical modeling of datasets involving outliers since its longer-than-normal tails provide a robust approach to hand such data. Furthermore, data collected over time may contain censored or…

Adaptive experiment designs can dramatically improve statistical efficiency in randomized trials, but they also complicate statistical inference. For example, it is now well known that the sample mean is biased in adaptive trials.…
