We assume that some consistent estimator of an equilibrium relation between non-stationary fractionally integrated series is used in a first step to compute residuals (or differences thereof). We propose to apply the semiparametric log-periodogram regression to the (differenced) residuals in...

Several semiparametric estimates of the memory parameter in standard long memory time series are now available. They consider only local behaviour of the spectrum near zero frequency, about which the spectrum is symmetric. However, long-range dependence can appear as a spectral pole at any...

In genetic association studies, there is increasing interest in understanding the joint effects of genetic and nongenetic factors. For rare diseases, the case-control study is a practical design, and logistic regression is the standard method of inference. However, the power to detect...

Semiparametric Bayesian models are nowadays a popular tool in survival analysis. An important area of research concerns the investigation of frequentist properties of these models. In this paper, a Bernstein-von Mises theorem is derived for semiparametric Bayesian models of competing risks data....

In recent years the Dirichlet process prior has experienced a great success in the context of Bayesian mixture modelling. The idea of overcoming discreteness of its realizations by exploiting it in hierarchical models, combined with the development of suitable sampling techniques, represent one...
