Estimation of Self-Exciting Point Processes from Time-Censored Data

Thomas Alois Weber, Philipp Schneider

Self-exciting point processes, widely used to model arrival phenomena in nature and society, are often difficult to identify. The estimation becomes even more challenging when arrivals are recorded only as bin counts on a finite partition of the observatio ...

Localizing Unsynchronized Sensors With Unknown Sources

Ivan Dokmanic, Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

We propose a method for sensor array self-localization using a set of sources at unknown locations. The sources produce signals whose times of arrival are registered at the sensors. We look at the general case where neither the emission times of the source ...

Fast Multi-Step Critiquing for VAE-based Recommender Systems

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Recent studies have shown that providing personalized explanations alongside recommendations increases trust and perceived quality. Furthermore, it gives users an opportunity to refine the recommendations by critiquing parts of the explanations. On one han ...

Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Neighborhoods Face Increased Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 Clusters

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder

Objective: To investigate the association between socioeconomic deprivation and the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 clusters. Methods: We analyzed 3,355 SARS-CoV-2 positive test results in the state of Geneva (Switzerland) from February 26 to April 30, 2020. We ...

High-dimensional peaks-over-threshold inference

Anthony Christopher Davison, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

Max-stable processes are increasingly widely used for modelling complex extreme events, but existing fitting methods are computationally demanding, limiting applications to a few dozen variables. r-Pareto processes are mathematically simpler and have the p ...

Bridging asymptotic independence and dependence in spatial extremes using Gaussian scale mixtures

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

Gaussian scale mixtures are constructed as Gaussian processes with a random variance. They have non-Gaussian marginals and can exhibit asymptotic dependence unlike Gaussian processes, which are asymptotically independent except in the case of perfect depen ...

Sliced inverse regression for survival data

Stephan Morgenthaler, Maya Shevlyakova

We apply the univariate sliced inverse regression to survival data. Our approach is different from the other papers on this subject. The right-censored observations are taken into account during the slicing of the survival times by assigning each of them w ...

Resamping variance estimation in surveys with missing data

Anthony Christopher Davison

We discuss variance estimation by resampling in surveys in which data are missing. We derive a formula for jackknife linearization in the case of calibrated estimation with deterministic regression imputation, and compare the resulting variance estimates w ...

2007

Many quantitative genetic statistics are functions of variance components, for which a large number of replicates is needed for precise estimates and reliable measures of uncertainty, on which sound interpretation depends. Moreover, in large experiments th ...

Survival and Censored Data

Survival time is a main topic in medical statistics, and many reasons makes it difficult to get complete data in studies of survival time. A study is often finished before the death of all patients, and we may keep only the information that some patients w ...
