Author: Bahrani, Babak
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Engineering, Statistics
Description: Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and Wildland fires cause damages to infrastructure and the environment, resulting in loss of life, property, and an increasing cost of mitigation. Firebrands are known as one of the leading fire spread mechanisms in ...

Title: Independent Screening for Nonparametric Additive Cox Model
Author: Yu, Sha
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Statistics
Description: Survival data with ultrahigh dimensional covariates are increasingly common recently due to the rapid development in technologies. It is challenging to model them using survival models in order to understand the association between covariate infor...

Title: LOCAL SPATIAL QUANTILE ESTIMATION OF MULTIVARIATE FUNCTIONAL-COEFFICIENT REGRESSION MODELS
Author: Zhou, Yetong
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Statistics
Description: Quantile regression (QR) has been widely studied in statistics and econometrics. However, there is no much work on nonlinear QR for vector time series. Therefore, we propose a local spatial QR method to estimate the functional-coefficient matrices...

Title: THE SEMIPARAMETRIC MARK-SPECIFIC PROPORTIONAL HAZARDS MODEL FOR MULTIVARIATE MARKS VIA A SINGLE-INDEX
Author: Shao, Yuehan
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Statistics, Mathematics
Description: Competing risk analysis is commonly applied to time-to-event data with finitely many causes of failure. It alters the probability of the occurrence of an event of interest broken down by a specific cause. Motivated by the HIV vaccine efficacy tria...
