64 p, 15.3 MB A diffusion-based spatio-temporal extension of Gaussian Matérn fields : (invited article with discussion) / Lindgren, Finn (University of Edinburgh (Escòcia)) ; Bakka, Haakon (Kontali (Noruega)) ; Bolin, David (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Aràbia Saudí)) ; Krainski, Elias (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Aràbia Saudí)) ; Rue, Håvard (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Aràbia Saudí))
Gaussian random fields with Matérn covariance functions are popular models in spatial statistics and machine learning. In this work, we develop a spatio-temporal extension of the Gaussian Matérn fields formulated as solutions to a stochastic partial differential equation. [...]

In complex survey data, each sampled observation has assigned a sampling weight, indicating the number of units that it represents in the population. Whether sampling weights should or not be considered in the estimation process of model parameters is a question that still continues to generate much discussion among researchers in different fields. [...]

In this paper we review some methods proposed in the literature for combining a nonprobability and a probability sample with the purpose of obtaining an estimator with a smaller bias and standard error than the estimators that can be obtained using only the probability sample. [...]

28 p, 4.8 MB Classification of probability density functions in the framework of Bayes spaces : methods and applications / Pavlů, Ivana (Palacky University Olomouc. Department of Mathematical Analysis and Application of Mathematics) ; Menafoglio, Alessandra (Politecnico di Milano. Department of Mathematics) ; Bongiorno, Enea (Universita degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale. Dipartimento di Studi per l'Economia e l'Impresa) ; Hron, Karel (Palacky University Olomouc. Department of Mathematical Analysis and Application of Mathematics)
The process of supervised classification when the data set consists of probability density functions is studied. Due to the relative information contained in densities, it is necessary to convert the functional data analysis methods into an appropriate framework, here represented by the Bayes spaces. [...]

24 p, 1.1 MB Compositional covariance shrinkage and regularised partial correlations / Jin, Suzanne (Centre de Regulació Genòmica) ; Notredame, Cedric (Centre de Regulació Genòmica) ; Erb, Ionas (Centre de Regulació Genòmica)
We propose an estimation procedure for covariation in wide compositional data sets. For compositions, widely-used logratio variables are interdependent due to a common reference. Logratio uncorrelated compositions are linearly independent before the unitsum constraint is imposed. [...]

Departament d'Enginyeria Civil i Ambiental) ; Pawlowsky-Glahn, Vera (Universitat de Girona. Departament d'Informàtica, Matemàtica Aplicada i Estadística)
Research in compositional data analysis was motivated by spurious (Pearson) correlation. Spurious results are due to semantic incoherence, but the question of ways to relate parts in a statistically consistent way remains open. [...]
