Asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula for dependent data
No full textCopulas are extensively used for dependence modeling. In many cases the data does not reveal how the dependence can be modeled using a particular parametric copula. Nonparametric copulas do not share this problem since they are entirely data based. This paper proposes nonparametric estimation of the density copula for α-mixing data using Bernstein polynomials. We study the asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula, i.e., we provide the exact asymptotic bias and variance, we establish the uniform strong consistency and the asymptotic normality.nonparametric estimation, copula, Bernstein polynomial, α-mixing, asymptotic properties, boundary bias

Heritability and Linkage Analysis of Appendicitis Utilizing Age at Onset
No full textAppendicitis usually afflicts the young, but there is a large tail in the distribution of onset age. The genetics of this disease are still not well understood. A heritability analysis and genome wide linkage analysis of a large twin dataset was undertaken. Treating age of onset of appendicitis as a censored survival trait revealed a heritability of 0.21, and found evidence of linkage to Chromosome 1p37.3.

Solving nonlinear polynomial systems in the barycentric Bernstein basis
No full textWe present a method for solving arbitrary systems of N nonlinear polynomials in n variables over an n-dimensional simplicial domain based on polynomial representation in the barycentric Bernstein basis and subdivision. The roots are approximated to arbitrary precision by iteratively constructing a series of smaller bounding simplices. We use geometric subdivision to isolate multiple roots within a simplex. An algorithm implementing this method in rounded interval arithmetic is described and analyzed. We find that when the total order of polynomials is close to the maximum order of each variable, an iteration of this solver algorithm is asymptotically more efficient than the corresponding step in a similar algorithm which relies on polynomial representation in the tensor product Bernstein basis. We also discuss various implementation issues and identify topics for further study.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (grant DMI-062933)Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (fellowship
