Association studies using unrelated individuals have become the most popular design for mapping complex traits.Among the major challenges of association mapping is avoiding spurions association due to population stratification.Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the leading stratification-control methods.

We propose an algorithm, called orthogonalizing EM (OEM), intended for fitting penalized regression models.It is motivated by the experimental design problem of fitting penalized regression with an or
We study the smoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimator of a probability distribution in arbitrary dimensions.This is a fully automatic nonparametric density estimator, obtained as a canonical
We discuss the estimation issues for response adaptive clinical trials.The asymptotic efficiency of maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters and the treatment effect are developed.We also explo
There is a growing body of evidence showing that economic and financial time series display changes in persisteuce.This has been an issue of substantial empirical int crest, especially concerning infl
Random graphs with given vertex degrees have been widely used as a model for many real-world complex networks.We describe a sequential sampling method for sampling networks with a given degree sequenc
Locally constant smoothing with adaptive choice of weights for nonparametric conditional quantile regression is considered.Some theoretical properties of the procedure are presented in the precise non
Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), which was recommended, analyzed and vastly popularized bv Sir R.A.Fisher in almost one-hundred years ago, is still the popular estimation method used for fitting p
In a basic multiple regression model, the basic assumption is that the contribution of each of the model terms is strictly linear.In many cases, this may be an excessive simplification of the complex
Treatment crossover is a frequent occurrence in clinical trials, where, during the course of the trial, patients who fail on the control treatment may crossover to the experimental treatment.Note that
There is a recent shift to the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) design mainly due to the numerous technological advances that allow large-scale DNA sequencing at attainable costs, as well as th
