Statistical methodology for the analysis of proteomic mass spectrometry data is proposed using mixed effects models. Each high dimensional spectrum is represented by using a near orthogonal low dimensional representation with a basis of Gaussian mixture functions. Linear mixed effect models are...

Theoretical approaches as well as empirical results in the area of social capital accumulation on social networking sites suggest that weak ties/bridging<i> versus</i> strong ties/bonding social capital should be distinguished and that while bonding social capital is connected to emotional support,...

We present a joint copula-based model for insurance claims and sizes. It uses bivariate copulae to accommodate for the dependence between these quantities. We derive the general distribution of the policy loss without the restrictive assumption of independence. We illustrate that this...
