The problem of regression shrinkage and selection for multivariate regression is considered. The goal is to consistently identify those variables relevant for regression. This is done not only for predictors but also for responses. To this end, a novel relationship between multivariate...

In this article, we propose a multivariate Pascal mixture regression model as an alternative to understand the association between multivariate count response variables and their covariates. When compared to the copula approach, this proposed class of regression models is not only less complex...

The chain ladder method is a popular technique to estimate the future reserves needed to handle claims that are not fully settled. Since the predictions of the aggregate portfolio (consisting of different subportfolios) do not need to be equal to the sum of the predictions of the subportfolios,...

Greater involvement of women within the labour force has economic and social impact. The Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) for India remains appallingly low at around 27%, while the male labour force participation rate has been 79.9%. In India, during 1990–2016, the FLFPR (% of...

Slope coefficients in rank-rank regressions are popular measures of intergenerational mobility, for instance in regressions of a child's income rank on their parent's income rank. In this paper, we first point out that commonly used variance estimators such as the homoskedastic or robust...
