Estadística no paramétrica: pasado, presente y futuro
(Sociedad de Estadística e Investigación Operativa, 2006)La estadística no paramétrica engloba una serie de técnicas de inferencia cuya característica principal es la ausencia de un modelo paramétrico de distribución subyacente. Sin pretender revisar todos y cada uno de ... -
A nonparametric approach to the estimation of lengths and surface areas
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2007)The Minkowski content L0(G) of a body G⊂ℝd represents the boundary length (for d=2) or the surface area (for d=3) of G. A method for estimating L0(G) is proposed. It relies on a nonparametric estimator based on the information ... -
Statistics in biomedical research
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2007)La Bioestadística es hoy en día una componente científica fundamental de la investigación en Biomedicina, salud pública y servicios de salud. Las áreas tradicionales y emergentes de aplicación incluyen ensayos clínicos, ... -
Testing for the equality of k regression curves
(Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science, 2007)Assume that (Xj , Yj ) are independent random vectors satisfying the nonparametric regression models Yj = mj (Xj ) + σj (Xj )εj , for j = 1, . . . , k, where mj (Xj ) = E(Yj |Xj ) and σ 2 j (Xj ) = Var (Yj |Xj ) are ... -
Empirical likelihood based testing for regression
(The Institute of Mathematical StatisticsThe Bernoulli Society, 2008)Consider a random vector (X, Y ) and let m(x) = E(Y |X = x). We are interested in testing H0 : m ∈ MΘ,G = {γ(·, θ, g) : θ ∈ Θ, g ∈ G} for some known function γ, some compact set Θ ⊂ IRp and some function set G of real ... -
Epidemiología de la enfermedad meningocócica en Cataluña antes y después de la vacunación frente al serogrupo C
(España. Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar social, 2009)Fundamentos: La enfermedad meningocócica continúa siendo un grave problema de salud pública en todo el mundo. En Cataluña, tras implementar el programa de vacunación, ha habido un descenso importante de los casos ... -
Evaluación del impacto de los programas de vacunación masiva: la experiencia de la hepatitis A en Cataluña
(España. Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar social, 2009)Fundamento: El programa de vacunación de la hepatitis A + B en preadolescentes se introdujo en 1998 en Cataluña. Durante los siguientes años uno de los objetivos principales ha sido cuantificar la reducción en la ... -
On the second order properties of the multidimensional periodogram for regularly spaced data
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2009)Recently there is growing interest in improving the level of knowledge of spatial and spatio-temporal processes using spectral techniques. The properties of the estimator of the spectral density, the periodogram, have been ... -
Generating functions: a useful tool for computing power indices
(Sociedad de Estadística e Investigación Operativa, 2009)In the theory of simple games, the study of power indices plays an important role. One of the main di culties with these indices is that computation generally requires the sum of a very large number of terms. The generating ... -
Las elecciones generales de 2008 y el juego del parlamento
(Federación Española de Profesores de Matemáticas, 2010)En este artículo analizamos el resultado de las elecciones generales desde un punto de vista Teórico de Juegos. Para cuantificar el poder que cada partido tiene en el nuevo Parlamento introducimos tres conceptos, los ... -
Influence of socioeconomic status on community-acquired pneumonia outcomes in elderly patients requiring hospitalization: a multicenter observational study
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background The associations between socioeconomic status and community-acquired pneumonia outcomes in adults have been studied although studies did not always document a relationship. The aim of this multicenter ... -
DTDA: An R Package to Analyze Randomly Truncated Data
(Foundation for Open Access Statistics, 2010)In this paper, the R package DTDA for analyzing truncated data is described. This package contains tools for performing three different but related algorithms to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of ... -
Generalizing the Convex Hull of a Sample: The R Package alphahull
(Foundation for Open Access Statistics, 2010-04-16)This paper presents the R package alphahull which implements the α-convex hull and the α-shape of a finite set of points in the plane. These geometric structures provide an informative overview of the shape and properties ... -
An Equilibrium Bid Markup Strategy
(Convergence Information Society (CIS), 2012)Setting a bid markup strategy is a very difficult task. Nevertheless, it is important to construction firms or consulting engineering companies because the development of successful bidding strategies is a key factor to ... -
Presmoothing in functional linear regression
(Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science, 2012)In this paper, we consider the functional linear model with scalar response, and explanatory variable valued in a function space. In recent literature, functional principal components analysis (FPCA) has been used to ... -
Statistical Computing in Functional Data Analysis: The R Package fda.usc
(Foundation for Open Access Statistics, 2012)This paper is devoted to the R package fda.usc which includes some utilities for functional data analysis. This package carries out exploratory and descriptive analysis of functional data analyzing its most important ... -
The impact of immigration and vaccination in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B in Catalonia (Spain)
