Understand the three different scales for measuring primary energy and avoid errors

Lightfoot, H. Douglas - In: Energy 32 (2007) 8, pp. 1478-1483

Three quite different scales for measuring the amount of primary energy the world uses annually are currently in use … Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), each has its own scale for measuring and recording primary energy. The purpose of this … primary energy. An example is presented to show how mixing of these scales, and not identifying them, constitutes an error in …

Exact inference on contrasts in means of intraclass correlation models with missing responses

Wu, Mi-Xia; Yu, Kai F.; Liu, Aiyi - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 2, pp. 301-308

Intraclass correlation models with missing data at random are considered. With a properly reduced model, a general method, which allows repeated observations with missing data in a non-monotone pattern, is proposed to construct exact test statistics and simultaneous confidence intervals for...

Analysis of correlated binary data under partially linear single-index logistic models

Yi, Grace Y.; He, Wenqing; Liang, Hua - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 2, pp. 278-290

Clustered data arise commonly in practice and it is often of interest to estimate the mean response parameters as well as the association parameters. However, most research has been directed to address the mean response parameters with the association parameters relegated to a nuisance role....

Bivariate generalized exponential distribution

Kundu, Debasis; Gupta, Rameshwar D. - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 4, pp. 581-593

Recently it has been observed that the generalized exponential distribution can be used quite effectively to analyze lifetime data in one dimension. The main aim of this paper is to define a bivariate generalized exponential distribution so that the marginals have generalized exponential...

Learning from dependent observations

Steinwart, Ingo; Hush, Don; Scovel, Clint - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 1, pp. 175-194

In most papers establishing consistency for learning algorithms it is assumed that the observations used for training are realizations of an i.i.d.Â process. In this paper we go far beyond this classical framework by showing that support vector machines (SVMs) only require that the...

A two-stage approach to semilinear in-slide models

You, Jinhong; Zhou, Haibo - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 99 (2008) 8, pp. 1610-1634

The semilinear in-slide models (SLIMs) have been shown to be effective methods for normalizing microarray data [J. Fan, P. Tam, G. Vande Woude, Y. Ren, Normalization and analysis of cDNA micro-arrays using within-array replications applied to neuroblastoma cell response to a cytokine,...

Improved estimation of the covariance matrix under Stein's loss

Ye, Ren-Dao; Wang, Song-Gui - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 79 (2009) 6, pp. 715-721

In this paper, the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal population is considered. Some new classes of orthogonally invariant minimax estimators which include random mixtures of the modified estimators of proposed by Dey and Srinivasan [Dey, D.K., Srinivasan, C.,...
