Conservative treatment using laser diode and systemic chemotherapy for early-stage bilateral retinoblastoma
A 14-year prospective cohort study
Background: Solid evidence of the safety and effectiveness of retinoblastoma (RB) conservative treatment using thermotherapy and systemic chemotherapy with long-term follow-up is scarce, especially in low-resource countries. Aims: This study examined the outcomes of this treat ...
Purpose:It remains unclear whether preoperative central graft thickness (CGT) contributes to visual outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). This retrospective cohort study examined the ability of preoperative and postoperative CGT to predict ...
Spatial clustering of waste reuse in a circular economy
A spatial autocorrelation analysis on locations of waste reuse in the Netherlands using global and local Moran’s I
This article deals with robust inference for parametric copula models. Estimation using canonical maximum likelihood might be unstable, especially in the presence of outliers. We propose to use a procedure based on the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) principle. We derive nonasy ...
Meta-elliptical copulas are often proposed to model dependence between the components of a random vector. They are specified by a correlation matrix and a map g, called density generator. While the latter correlation matrix can easily be estimated from pseudo-samples of observ ...
We study the weak convergence of conditional empirical copula processes indexed by general families of conditioning events that have non zero probabilities. Moreover, we also study the case where the conditioning events are chosen in a data-driven way. The validity of several ...
Collection of accurate and representative data from agricultural fields is required for efficient crop management. Since growers have limited available resources, there is a need for advanced methods to select representative points within a field in order to best satisfy sampl ...
Conditional Kendall's tau is a measure of dependence between two random variables, conditionally on some covariates. We assume a regression-type relationship between conditional Kendall's tau and some covariates, in a parametric setting with a large number of transformations o ...
On kernel-based estimation of conditional Kendall's tau
Finite-distance bounds and asymptotic behavior
We study nonparametric estimators of conditional Kendall's tau, a measure of concordance between two random variables given some covariates. We prove non-asymptotic pointwise and uniform bounds, that hold with high probabilities. We provide "direct proofs" of the consistency a ...
It is shown how the problem of estimating conditional Kendall's tau can be rewritten as a classification task. Conditional Kendall's tau is a conditional dependence parameter that is a characteristic of a given pair of random variables. The goal is to predict whether the pair ...
Extending the results of Bellec, Lecué and Tsybakov [1] to the setting of sparse high-dimensional linear regression with unknown variance, we show that two estimators, the Square-Root Lasso and the Square-Root Slope can achieve the optimal minimax prediction rate, which is (s/ ...
We discuss the so-called "simplifying assumption" of conditional copulas in a general framework. We introduce several tests of the latter assumption for non- and semiparametric copula models. Some related test procedures based on conditioning subsets instead of point-wise even ...
