### Variance on the sum of predicted values from a mixed effect model on a timeseries

I have a mixed effect model (in fact a generalized additive mixed model) that gives me predictions for a timeseries. To counter the autocorrelation, I use a corCAR1 model, given the fact I have ...

### SVD of correlated matrix should be additive but doesn't appear to be

I'm just trying to replicate a claim made in the following paper, Finding Correlated Biclusters from Gene Expression Data, which is: Proposition 4. If $X_{IJ}=R_{I}C^{T}_{J}$. then we have: ...

### Training a basic Markov Random Field for classifying pixels in an image

I am attempting to learn how to use Markov Random Fields to segment regions in an image. I do not understand some of the parameters in the MRF or why the expectation maximisation I perform fails to ...

### Can the Mantel test be extended to asymmetric matrices?

The Mantel test is usually applied to symmetric distance/difference matrices. As far as I understand, an assumption of the test is that the measure used to define differences must be at least a ...

### Phylogenetic dependent variables: ANOVA?

I understand deriving a covariance matrix from phylogenetic data to make $cov(X,Y) = 0$ for two variables you're making a regression on. But what happens if you have one continuous variable, that ...

### How do you select variables in a regression model?

The traditional approach to variable selection is to find variables that contribute the most to predicting a new response. Recently I learned of an alternative to this. In modeling variables that ...
I am interested to estimate the density of a continuous random variable $X$. One way of doing this that I learnt is the use of Kernel Density Estimation. But now I am interested in a Bayesian ...
