This short paper is concerned with the use of spherical t-designs as optimal designs for the spherical harmonic regression model in three dimensions over a range of specified criteria. The nature of the designs is explored and their availability and suitability is reviewed.

This paper focuses on the specification of the weights for the components of mixture priors.

In this paper, we extend Beta distribution to 2 by 2 matrix and give the analytical formula for its moments. Our analytical formula can be used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of Beta distribution for 2 by 2 matrix.

Predicting Residential Property Value in Catonsville, Maryland: A Comparison of Multiple Regression Techniques

The q-weighted CUSUM and their corresponding estimator are well known statistics for change-point detection and estimation. They have the difficulty that the performance is highly dependent on the location of the change. An adaptive estimator with data-driven weights is presented to overcome this problem, and it is shown that the corresponding adaptive change-point tests are valid.

We consider the performance of the foremost academic House of Representatives forecasting models in the 2018 elections. In creating open-source implementations of these models, we outline key underlying assumptions. We find that although the results were unsurprising, they indicate a weakening of many traditional forecasting indicators.

By constructing a sampling distribution for DVARS we can create a standardized version of DVARS that should be more similar across scanners and datasets.

This article aims at summarizing the existing methods for sampling social networking services and proposing a faster confidence interval for related sampling methods. It also includes comparisons of common network sampling techniques.

We comment on a paper by Kaminski et al. (2001) and show that their claim of a relationship between the directed transfer function (DTF) and the concept of Granger causality is false.

Comonotonicity had been a extreme case of dependency between random variables. This article consider an extension of single life model under multiple dependent decrement causes to the case of comonotonic group-life.

We present a mixture Poisson model for claims counts in which the number of components in the mixture are estimated by reversible jump MCMC methods.

The variance of the concentration in a sample can be estimated using knowledge of the particle masses, concentrations and the parameter for the dependent selection of particles. A number of variance estimators are constructed including a class of hybrid estimators.

Age-period-cohort analysis is mathematically intractable because of fundamental nonidentifiability of linear trends. However, some understanding can be gained in the context of individual problems.
