Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...

The multivariate general moment function is presented and its expected value obtained when sampling from a finite population. Partitions, power sums and power products are featured. Multivariate ...

The techniques of 100-level calculus are applied and extended in the study of infinite series, vector-valued functions and functions of two or more variables. Topics include convergence of power ...

The TSPLINE subroutine computes thin-plate smoothing spline (TPSS) fits to approximate smooth multivariate functions that are observed with noise. The generalized cross validation (GCV) function is ...

Background Infants of asthmatic mothers have reduced lung function in early life for reasons that remain to be defined. The association between inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use during pregnancy and ...
