In multivariate analysis, a Gaussian bigraphical model is commonly used for modelling matrix-valued data. In this paper, we propose a semiparametric extension of the Gaussian bigraphical model, called the nonparanormal bigraphical model. A projected nonparametric rank-based regularization...

There are few techniques available for testing whether or not a family of parametric times series models fits a set of data reasonably well without serious restrictions on the forms of alternative models. In this paper, we consider generalised likelihood ratio tests of whether or not the...

We extend the idea of crossvalidation to choose the smoothing parameters of the 'double-kernel' local linear regression for estimating a conditional density. Our selection rule optimises the estimated conditional density function by minimising the integrated squared error. We also discuss three...

In this paper, we propose a penalised pseudo-partial likelihood method for variable selection with multivariate failure time data with a growing number of regression coefficients. Under certain regularity conditions, we show the consistency and asymptotic normality of the penalised likelihood...
