MANOVA is a statistical test that extends the scope of the more commonly used ANOVA, that allows differences between three or more independent groups of explanatory (independent or predictor) ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...

The COV= option must be specified to compute an approximate covariance matrix for the parameter estimates under asymptotic theory for least-squares, maximum-likelihood, or Bayesian estimation, with or ...

This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...

Proceeding from the discovery of a genetic association signal to mechanistic insight into human biology should be much easier for alleles with a clear functional consequence, including nonsynonymous, ...

In this work we consider multivariate autoregressions subject to Markovian changes in regime. Estimation methods and filtering techniques for such processes are well established in the literature as ...

Covariance matrix forecasts of financial asset returns are an important component of current practice in financial risk management. A wide variety of models are available for generating such forecasts ...

This section provides an overview of a likelihood-based approach to general linear mixed models. This approach simplifies and unifies many common statistical analyses, including those involving ...
