The Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) is a kernel-based metric widely used for nonparametric tests and estimation. Recently, it has also been studied as an objective function for parametric estimation, as it has been shown to yield robust…
We introduce RVSNUpy, a new Python package designed to measure spectroscopic redshifts. Based on inverse-variance weighted cross-correlation, RVSNUpy determines the redshifts by comparing observed spectra with various rest-frame template…
We introduce a correlation coefficient that is designed to deal with a variety of ranking formats including those containing non-strict (i.e., with-ties) and incomplete (i.e., unknown) preferences. The correlation coefficient is designed to…
1. Advances in tracking technology have led to an exponential increase in animal location data, greatly enhancing our ability to address interesting questions in movement ecology, but also presenting new challenges related to data manage-…
A Kubo-Greenwood-like equation for the Gilbert damping parameter $\alpha$ is presented that is based on the linear response formalism. Its implementation using the fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) band structure method in…
The Hartree-Fock-RPA approach is applied to the 1D anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model in the Jordan-Wigner representation. Somewhat contrary to expectation, this leads to reasonable results for spectral functions and sum rules in the…
In order to cope with the increased data volumes generated by modern radio interferometers such as LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) or SKA (Square Kilometre Array), fast and efficient calibration algorithms are essential. Traditional radio…
We provide uniform confidence bands for kernel ridge regression (KRR), a widely used nonparametric regression estimator for nonstandard data such as preferences, sequences, and graphs. Despite the prevalence of these data--e.g., student…
Remote physiological measurements, e.g., remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) based heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and respiration frequency (RF) measuring, are playing more and more important roles under the application…
Software realization of the complex spectra decomposition on unknown number of similarcomponents is proposed.The algorithm is based on non-linear minimizing the sum of squared residuals of the spectrum model. For the adequacy checking the…
The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) has been widely used, particularly in psychology, to infer longitudinal relations among variables. At the same time, controlling for between-person heterogeneity and capturing within-person relations as…
The goal of this paper is to provide some tools for nonparametric estimation and inference in psychological and economic experiments. We consider an experimental framework in which each of $n$subjects provides $T$ responses to a vector of…
Studies of the degrees of freedom or "synergies" in musculoskeletal systems rely critically on algorithms to estimate the "dimension" of kinematic or neural data. Linear algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA) are used almost…
This paper investigates achieving diverse K-factors using a Reverberation Chamber (RC) with a Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) system. It explores six hybrid "RC plus CATR" configurations involving different excitations of the Rich…
Sum of Ranking Differences (SRD) is a relatively novel, non-para-metric statistical procedure that has become increasingly popular recently. SRD compares solutions via a reference by applying a rank transformation on the input and…
Existing color sampling based alpha matting methods use the compositing equation to estimate alpha at a pixel from pairs of foreground (F) and background (B) samples. The quality of the matte depends on the selected (F,B) pairs. In this…
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) $>$ 20 mmHg, is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and decreased pulmonary arterial compliance. There are few measurable biomarkers of…
A new estimation method for the two-component mixture model introduced in \cite{Van13} is proposed. This model consists of a two-component mixture of linear regressions in which one component is entirely known while the proportion, the…
Measurement error in a covariate or the outcome of regression models is common, but is often ignored, even though measurement error can lead to substantial bias in the estimated covariate-outcome association. While several texts on…
There are many different ways in which change point analysis can be performed, from purely parametric methods to those that are distribution free. The ecp package is designed to perform multiple change point analysis while making as few…
