This paper considers functional models for longitudinal data with subject and group specifc trends modelled using Gaussian processes. Fitting Gaussian process regression models is a computationally challenging task, and ...

Majority (80%) of people worldwide may not be aware of the numerous invaluable benefits of “the tree of life”: the coconut palm especially the fruit. Some benefits include: its juice for weight loss, cure of hung-over, ...

The existence of unit roots in time series processes can impair the choice of techniques for analysis and forecasting time series data. It is of much importance in econometric modelling to determine the integration number ...

Landscape pattern is spatially correlated and scale-dependent. Thus, multiscale analysis is imperative for understanding the structure, function and dynamics of landscape. In this study, we employed two complementary, yet ...

In groundwater, dissolved organic matter (DOM), a complex material, is a contaminant of concern owing to its ability to infuence water quality and stimulate microbial metabolism. Using a 445-nm diode laser-induced fuorescence ...

The differential thermo power of a chiral carbon nanotube (CNT) was calculated using a tractable analytical approach. We obtained an expression for the electrical conductivity σ and the thermopower α. The results were ...

The Minimum Description Length (MDL), a less known criterion, is making great strides in model selection as compared to the widely known and used information criteria (AIC, BIC, etc). This study developed the MDL criterion ...

The paper addresses the issue of identifying the maximum safe dose in the context of non-inferiority trials where several doses of toxicological compounds exist. Statistical methodology for identifying the maximum safe ...

This paper presents a vibrational Bayes approach to a semi-parametric regression model that consists of parametric and nonparametric components. The assumed univariate nonparametric component is represented with a cosine ...

In this paper, we present a new time-multipatch discontinuous Galerkin Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) technology for solving parabolic initial-boundary problems in space and time simultaneously. We prove coercivity of the IgA ...
