Hidden population stratification (PS) is a main concern in the analysis of case-control genetic association studies. All methods to correct for hidden PS have been focused on classical hypothesis testing, and cannot be directly applied to Bayesian analysis. In this paper, to study the impact and...

Bayes factor (BF) is often used to measure evidence against the null hypothesis in Bayesian hypothesis testing. In the analysis of genome-wide association (GWA) studies, extreme BF values support the associations detected based on significant p-values. Results from recent GWA studies are...

We consider the empirical likelihood method for estimation of distribution and quantile functions where side information is incorporated through moment conditions. We systematically study the asymptotic properties of the estimators, such as the uniform strong laws of large numbers and weak...

It is known that in many missing data models, for example, survival data models, some parameters are root-n estimable while the others are not. When they are, their limiting distributions are often Gaussian and easy to use. When they are not, their limiting distributions, if exists, are often...

On the basis of defining the producers in the supply chain of agricultural products, the SWOT analysis is adopted to analyze the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats of producers in the supply chain of Chinese agricultural products. The paper analyzes the advantages of producers...
