This paper aims at proposing suitable statistical tools to address heterogeneity in repeated measures, within a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) longitudinal study. Indeed, due to unobservable sources of heterogeneity, modelling the effect of covariates on MS severity evolves as a very difficult feature....

A new regularization method for regression models is proposed. The criterion to be minimized contains a penalty term … which explicitly links strength of penalization to the correlation between predictors. As the elastic net, the method … proposed method. -- Correlation based estimator ; Boosting ; Variable selection ; Elastic net ; Lasso ; Penalization …

We investigate extreme dependence in a multivariate setting with special emphasis on financial applications. We introduce a new dependence function which allows us to capture the complete extreme dependence structure and present a nonparametric estimation procedure. The new dependence function...

In this paper we consider regression models for count data allowing for overdispersion in a Bayesian framework. Besides … autoregressive prior based on Pettitt et al. (2002). Apart from the Poisson regression model, the negative binomial and the … generalized Poisson regression model are addressed. Further, zero-inflated models combined with the Poisson and generalized …

Kalyanam and Shively (1998) and van Heerde et al. (2001) have proposed semiparametric models to estimate the influence of price promotions on brand sales, and both obtained superior performance for their models compared to strictly parametric modeling. Following these researchers, we suggest...
