We propose new procedures for estimating the univariate quantities of interest in both additive and multiplicative nonparametric marker dependent hazard models. We work with a full counting process framework that allows for left truncation and right censoring. Our procedures are based on kernels...

We analyze the performance of firms in the German business-related services sector. A quarterly business survey provides the panel data base of our study. Firm performance is measured by the survey respondents? ordinal indication of their changes in total sales. We use a firstorder Markov chain...

Tracking the correct directions of monotonicity in multi-dimensional modeling plays an important role in interpreting functional associations. In the presence of multiple predictors, we provide empirical evidence that the observed monotone directions via parametric, nonparametric or...

We describe a general model for pairwise microsatellite allele matching probabilities. The model can be used for analysis of population substructure, and is particularly focused on relating genetic correlation to measurable covariates. The approach is intended for cases when the existence of...

We consider the component analysis problem for a regression model with an additive structure. The problem is to check the hypothesis of linearity for each component without specifying the structure of the remaining components. In this paper we show that under mild conditions on the design and...
