Minimum average variance estimation (MAVE, Xia et al: 2002) is an effective dimension reduction method. It requires no strong probabilistic assumptions on the predictors, and can consistently estimate the central mean ...

In this paper, we develop the asymptotic theory for hypotheses testing in high-dimensional analysis of variance (HANOVA) when the distributions are completely unspecifed. Most results in the literature have been restricted ...

A fundamental problem for Bayesian mixture model analysis is label switching, which occurs due to the non-identifiability of the mixture components under symmetric priors. We propose two labelling methods to solve this ...

In this article, we introduce a new method of image pixel classification. Our method is a nonparametric classification method which uses combined evidence from the multiple hypothesis testings and minimum distance to carry ...

Identification of splice sites plays a key role in annotation of genes and hence, the improvement of computational prediction of splice sites with high accuracy has great significance. In this article, we first quantitatively ...

Background: Even though the classification of cancer tissue samples based on gene expression data has advanced considerably in recent years, it faces great challenges to improve accuracy. One of the challenges is to establish ...

A local modal estimation procedure is proposed for the regression function in a nonparametric regression model. A distinguishing characteristic of the proposed procedure is that it introduces an additional tuning parameter ...

Label switching is one of the fundamental problems for Bayesian mixture model analysis. Due to the permutation invariance of the mixture posterior, we can consider that the posterior of a m-component mixture model is a ...

Expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm has been used to maximize the likelihood function or posterior when the model contains unobserved latent variables. One main important application of EM algorithm is to find the ...

Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a significant problem in health care. While effective warnings have the potential to reduce the prevalence of ADEs, little is known about how patients access and use prescription labeling. ...
