  Random-effects models are one of the most widely studied and important classes of models in applied statistics.Genetics is one classical application area for random-effects models,where they have been used since at least the 1950s.

Spatio-temporal modelling is a must in research in many fields of science and social science.It is always a challenge to model spatio-temporal data,since they vary over space and time,and usually have
In this study,we approach the major problem of underage alcohol consumption by secondary school students through statistics.Underage drinking is when anyone under the minimum age of 21 drinks alcohol.
The selection procedure,in which probability of selection for each unit of the population into the sample is same,almost fails to achieve the goals of a specified sampling theory.The selection procedu
This paper considers testing equality of two population covariance matrices when the data dimension p diverges with the sample size n(p/n→c>0).We propose a weighted test statistic which is data-driven
Statistical inferences for sample correlation matrices are important in high dimensional data analysis.Motivated by this,this paper establishes a new central limit theorem(CLT)for a linear spectral st
Missing data are frequently encountered in longitudinal clinical trials.To better monitor and understand the progress over time,we must handle the missing data appropriately and thus determine whether

Regularized variable selection is a powerful tool for identifying the true regression model from a pool of candidates by applying penalties to the objective functions.The penalty functions involve a t
In the split feasibility problem,one is given a smooth function h(x): Rp→ Rq and two closed convex sets C(C)Rp and Q(C)Rq.One is then asked to find a point x∈Rp simultaneously satisfying x ∈ C and h(x
