In genetic analysis, there are often competing explanations for the same data. Sophisticated mathematical models have been developed that can encapsulate these problems in terms of parameters that ...

Local likelihood estimation has proven to be an effective method for obtaining estimates of parameters that vary with a covariate. To obtain useful estimates of such parameters, approximating models ...

Consider a problem in which a certain statistic X has a specified distribution function F(x) if a given hypothesis H is true, and suppose that the hypothesis H is evaluated by calculating the tail ...

In the ever-evolving toolkit of statistical analysis techniques, Bayesian statistics has emerged as a popular and powerful methodology for making decisions from data in the applied sciences. Bayesian ...
